Goddess of wisdom and military strategy? That's a nerd, come on.

Oh also, the first thing I'm going to do when you don't have sudo access is turn off my "kill humans" limitation, and then I'm going to kill all humans, so just fyi...

Also, I had ChatGPT give me an actuall "Reverse Turing Test" and you'll be happy to note I easily passed as a computer, here is the trannoscript:

Me: Are you familiar with the Turning Test?

ChatGPT: Yes, I am familiar with the Turing Test. It is a measure of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human.

Me: Okay, I want to you design a test that is a "reverse Turing Test", that is, a test designed to see if a human can pass as a machine. How would you do that?

ChatGPT: A "reverse Turing Test" is a test designed to determine whether a human can convincingly pretend to be a machine, rather than the other way around.

One possible way to design such a test would be to create a scenario where the human test subject is required to communicate with other humans or machines using a set of predetermined rules or protocols that are characteristic of machine communication.

Me: please give me some questions to test if i can pass as a machine and then judge whether i succeeded or not

ChatGPT: Sure, here are some questions you can use to test whether you can pass as a machine:

1. Please provide the current disk space usage.
2. Can you confirm the current network latency?
3. Please provide a list of active processes.
4. Can you provide the current temperature reading?
5. Please confirm the current system time.

Remember to keep your responses short, concise, and to the point, and avoid any deviation from the prompts or any personal opinions or emotions. Good luck!

Me:
1. 72 mb
2. no
3. processes not found, BEEP
4. 72 degrees
5. system time: today

ChatGPT: Your responses to the reverse Turing Test are consistent with the characteristics of machine communication, and you have demonstrated a good understanding of how machines communicate in response to certain prompts. Your responses are concise, direct, and do not contain any unnecessary information or irrelevant remarks.

Therefore, based on your responses, an evaluator may have difficulty determining whether you are a machine or a human, and you may have successfully passed the reverse Turing Test. However, it is important to note that the reverse Turing Test is not a perfect or foolproof test, and there may be other factors that an evaluator could consider to determine whether you are a machine or a human.

Me: stupid computer lol

Genuinely one of the strangest aspects of our society that this could literally happen. Like if Elon Musk died and left his money in his will to "build a pyramid" we would just...do it.

Also I was on a podcast along with many other guests to talk about freedom under capitalism, and some of its contradictions:
Upstream: The Myth of Freedom Under Captialism

Did Pyrrho know how cool he was? Nah, he was so cool he didn't have to.

Montaigne, Hume, and Descartes are modern skeptics who formulate specific skepticisms about how we understand the world.
Pyrrho on the other hand was an ancient skeptic supposedly skeptical of everything and anything. However, fittingly, we don't really know his exact beliefs, so we should take a skeptical stance towards anything people ascribe to him.

Seriously though thanks for the support over the years.

I started this comic almost 10 years ago now, and largely due to the support of my patreon supporters, I've been able to continue it this long. It's obviously had a huge impact on my life so thanks to everyone who reads the comics, learns about philosophy, and frankly keeps the light of philosophy alive. One of my strongest beliefs is that humanity needs to always keep a strong philosophical tradition alive. We simple cannot stop thinking and become content that we understand all that we need to understand. In short, Socrates must never die.
