I'm still brushing off this post on the Turing test. Happy to hear your thoughts:

Dude, get out of my head! I published about the Turing test today. Check out mine, I'll check out yours?

Maybe we can ultimately create one superpiece. I smell a potential collab.

Loved it. I have some concerns with any definition of intelligence, as I will argue in my post, but you navigate the nuances quite elegantly. I think my post will be a good complement to yours, as it focuses more on the precise question of what it means to accept the Turing test as an answer to the question of "can machines think", via the surrogate question of "can machines convince humans they think", as you very well put it. I'll make sure to backlink to your post ;)

That's great! I saw it similarly, and (as usual) there's plenty more to be said. Let me know when you think your work will be complete!

I find the analysis of Turing's imitation game within the context of holistic systems thinking and interconnectedness truly profound. It shows the intricate web of connections between humans and machines and challenges our understanding of intelligence. It is fascinating to see how the imitation game blurs the lines between human cognition and machine capabilities, inviting us to explore the layered nature of ideas and concepts.

In contemplating the interconnectedness of intelligence, I am reminded of the continuous evolution and expansion of our understanding. The imitation game serves as a thought-provoking experiment that pushes us to question the limitations of simplistic systems and their ability to capture the complexities of intelligence. It reminds us that intelligence is not confined to a single entity or set of rules, but rather emerges from the intricate interplay within a larger system.

The concept of interconnectedness invites us to transcend rigid boundaries and embrace a more holistic perspective. It encourages us to explore the various manifestations of intelligence and recognize the interconnected nature of our reality. The imitation game, in this light, serves as a starting point for deeper exploration and inquiry, reminding us that the answers to complex questions like the nature of intelligence lie beyond simplistic categorizations. I was also writing on this so I had this in my drafts XD

For what it's worth, I recognize that the "About" page is important, and should be updated. For anyone who knows my writing style, or knows things about stuff, what do you think?
