Monkeys at the Keyboard.

One student alluded to the monkeys at a keyboard thought experiment: Infinite Monkeys Theorem. See quote from Robert Wilensky.

All Men are Mortal. All computers are not.

How would your goals and behavior differ if you were immortal? For all practical purposes, computers are immortal. They have reached their singularity. How should this idea of immortal intelligence affect a computer's goals and behavior? (Inspired by Justin Miller's paper on learning through experience.)

Discussion on Canvas.

Slade's Turing Test

A computer program is intelligent if it can administer a Turing Test - that is, if the computer can accurately judge if it is talking to a human or a computer.
