Jayne: Here's a little concept I been workin' on. Why don't we shoot her first? Wash: It is her turn.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I love Alan Turing. I was reading a history of coding when I first heard of him and literally cried on the T when reading about how his brilliant life ended. Wow, sexy brains on that one.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

OMG! That Turing quote is exactly what I needed on Saturday. I had someone arguing with me that computers could never be smarter than people.

Yay for problem-solving and lack of teeth-gnashing!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

So why doesn't she just check the pockets? Wouldn't that take less time than turning everything inside out only to right it again after drying? She has no answer for that. Hrmph.

Laura, the answer to that is the number of times I have washed tissues in spite of the fact that I am, theoretically at least, in the habit of checking pockets. Mind you, I have yet to acquire the habit of turning stuff inside out. Perhaps I should, as it would have prevented today's little mishap.

I do not think that this argument is sufficiently substantial to require refutation. Consolation would be more appropriate: perhaps this should be sought in the transmigration of souls.

One wonders what he would say to reassure those of us with the honestly stated fear of "OMG, thinking machines... what if they think they don't like us?"

... someone arguing with me that computers could never be smarter than people.

I think they could, depending on the definition of "smart". And this terrifies me. Possibly irrational, but then I did grow up watching Star Trek.

I think transmigration of souls again. Possibly.

Heh. Do I get points for not trying to intellectualize my fear?

Yay! Laura snuggles. I was afraid my good mood killed the thread.

Not sure WHY I'm in a good mood, but I wasn't going to question it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm very happy to have computers be smarter than me, since they tend to be smart at just the things I'm stupidest about.

(and anyways, some of those human-looking cylon models are hawt!)
