But an amazing human.

I say as someone who is not on Facebook. (Though who knows.); ७/८/२०, १०:०४ AM
rehajm म्हणाले...: Now now, intelligent but autistic people express their condition in different ways...sometimes it's awkward language and social interaction and sometimes it's rationalizing votes for political candidates hostile to their own self interest...; ७/८/२०, १०:२२ AM

Joe Smith म्हणाले...: It's cute...

I'm guessing he has more than a touch of Aspergers...don't ask how I know that...; ७/८/२०, १०:२७ AM

Big Mike म्हणाले...: Technically that’s true. In fact, he’s just like any other person who is so rich he could spend a billion dollars and not notice he spent it.; ७/८/२०, १०:४२ AM
Big Mike म्हणाले...: Aspergers will rule the world!!!; ७/८/२०, १०:४२ AM
mezzrow म्हणाले...: You can take the person out of art school, but you can't take art school out of the person.

It WAS funny.

You'd laugh at some of the stuff musicians listen to.; ७/८/२०, १०:४५ AM

Timely, and touching in a strangely poignant way. If this era is about anything, it is about performative behavior and the simulacrum of life via ritual signaling. Some will get a warm feeling, some its opposite.; ७/८/२०, १०:५७ AM
gilbar म्हणाले...: isn't it NEAT? that one of the Richest Billionaires in the World, got that way by:
A) making an application, so college boys could rate the fuckablity of their college's co-eds?
B) swindled other people out of money, to expand his app?
C) swindled his fellow developers out of their share of the company?

If Only, If Only there was a word; to describe people like him. Something like Robber Baron; ७/८/२०, १०:५९ AM

Hemingway: I am getting to know the rich.
Colum: you’ll find the only difference between the rich and other people is that the rich have more money; ७/८/२०, ११:०३ AM
Scott म्हणाले...: When you become the father of the Next Big Thing, either by brilliance or by happenstance, you are regarded as other-worldly by others. Nobody will care about your personal struggles. And your defenses will always be high, because you're always a target for use and abuse.

Having dinner with Mark Zuckerberg would be weird. I wouldn't know what to talk about. Elon Musk, on the other hand, would be an awesome dinner guest. I'd chat with him for as long as he could tolerate me. :); ७/८/२०, ११:१२ AM

I've never understood the appeal of this trope. Why would a robot want to be human? Why did Pinocchio? What's so great about being a human as opposed to something much cooler, like a cat?; ७/८/२०, १२:१७ PM
Ingachuck'stoothlessARM म्हणाले...: he's not the droid you're looking for.

is he a robot, trying to be more human

...or a human, opting for trans-humanism (a la Epstein)?; ७/८/२०, १२:३८ PM

Lucid-Ideas म्हणाले...: The saddest and most depressing thing is the realization that money can buy you a lot of things, but it seldom can buy the love of a woman that's a considerable attractiveness upgrade for a man.

Zuckerberg's wife and Jeff Bezos fling-candy (she looks like a dude) are just a few examples. The Bezos example is extreme too, his ex-wife is 10x better looking the latinx hooker-with-a-penis he dumped her for.; ७/८/२०, १२:५६ PM
n.n म्हणाले...: That's what a bot, trained to mimic a human, bolstered by em-pathetic appeal, would say. The very model of artificial intelligence. Everyone has a right to define reality is a civil right under the Twilight Amendment to The Constitution.; ७/८/२०, २:०४ PM
Sebastian म्हणाले...: "I am a human"

Now a $100B+ human.; ७/८/२०, २:१६ PM
Joe Smith म्हणाले...: "...but it seldom can buy the love of a woman that's a considerable attractiveness upgrade for a man."

Being a billionaire may not buy love, but money can (and does) afford 'regular' guys hot companionship.

We were in Manhattan last summer, just walking down the street on the Upper East Side doing some window shopping. A couple in front of us was walking hand-in-hand, hand-in-back-pocket, etc. The guy looked to be about my age...mid/late fifties. The gal younger.

When they turned and I got a look at them, I said to my wife, "That guy is rich...really rich." She said, "How can you tell?"

He was indeed in his fifties...beard, T-shirt, jeans, beer belly...completely nondescript. She was in her early forties, but the 'I-used -to-be-a-runway-model' forties. Stunningly beautiful...she would put hot college girls to shame.

Once my wife got a look at her she said, 'Yeah, you're probably right.' : ); ७/८/२०, २:५९ PM

do we then start with assumption that robots can recognize and appreciate Turing testing; ७/८/२०, २:५९ PM
