When I was an undergrad, ELIZA (1960s pseudo-AI, using canned responses to snippets) was the demo of how users can easily be fooled without actual lang understanding. Amazing how the trick is still being used in "Turing tests" and even AI apps.

First astrology, now “energy healing” and other Paltrovian quackery: The New York Times has become strangely sympathetic to pseudoscience.

I am a page on the Police Wiki (the rock group with Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland; nothing to do with cops, fuzz, gendarmes, or state monopoly on the legitimate use of force).

A brief rant: Is there any reason to use the word "murine," besides sounding fancy and scientific? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't think of any context in which you'd lose something by just writing "mouse."

People are too quick to write off Africa: it has shown tremendous gains in health and prosperity, with tremendous promise for more.

Now listening to The Sense of Style, by that consummate English stylist Steven Pinker. Among much that is wonderfully quotable, I take special delight in this: “ . . . postmodernism, which rejects the possibility that any word can ever refer to anything . . .”

For decades I've argued that a key test of innateness hypotheses (e.g., Chomsky on language) is whether an AI could learn to speak & think like people with no innate structure. argues that GPT-2 is now providing that test.

When speaking about repressive opinion mobs, I never blame it on Millennials or Gen-Zs. It started with the Boomers, & the noisiest today don’t speak for a whole generation. Sam Abrahams’ experience here overlaps with mine at Harvard & elsewhere.
