It's actually that thoughts are conversation put into the dwarf status screen. The same type of conversation generated by asking someone how they're feeling in Adv Mode.

Thank you Eschar, for recommending Person of Interest. Am on season 3 right now

Yay! I last watched "Beta" from season 3, if you're further please don't spoil anything for me :)

What do you think of the show?
I love it. Not enough shows have AI as the hero.

Plato. And apparently he was just using it as an allegory, not intending it to be interpreted as an actual location.

It's Trump's thing because he ended the moratorium. It's legal enough, but the use of the death penalty itself has always been doubted by the judiciary under the 8th amendment, hence why it gets put on multi-decades long moratoriums so often.

Ah.

The guy being executed was already on death row... right? How does this count as Trump doing his own thing or being able to skirt around requirements for the executive branch executing people?

"anime vision"

If this guy looks like a guard or other mundane worker, +1 to saying we were just curious, as it looks like he had that same motive (cigarettes and lighter seem casual, perhaps he comes up here to relax and sneak a glimpse of the anima.) Take a moment to see what he looks like first.

Well maybe the system's source of bias varies depending on the design. I assume that a quantum computer would work differently from a neural network, a rectal computing rig, or a beowulf cluster

Neural networks are a software thing, not hardware.
Hardware doesn't determine all of intelligence or behavior. Those are patterns. Software, metaphorically and literally speaking.

I trust the damn thing less than I trust Cephie. Which is to say only bound with tightest oaths and threats, and never with your back turned.

Biases of what/how it learns, more like, as people probably won't be building an AI's psychology piece by piece, idea by idea, in the same sense as you might build a machine - rule-based AI approach plunged around the time of the AI Winter. As a pale example see neural networks, obviously not a full AI or even close but they show that's the type of approach being gravitated towards.

NG, you would probably like the book Superintelligence by Nick Bostrom (about how to contain a superintelligence suspected of being harmful) and Godel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter.

It's hypothetically possible that some people are born afraid of snakes &c., while others are inculturated into being afraid of them, while a third class (you) are neither
