I need a Muslim consult for the book I’m working on.
Preferably a woman, but any gender expression is fine, I just need to take a quite odd & reproductively confrontational SF concept very seriously from a devout Islamic perspective.
Can anyone on masto help me out?
In retrospect, the flaw in the Turing Test was always using human discernment as the model to measure against.
LLMs easily pass the Turing Test, not because they’re sentient, but because we’re dumbasses who interpret the most dopamine-supplying response to ourselves as the most intelligently human.
Why is the Fulton County seal so much smaller on Trump’s mugshot than everyone else’s?
Hoping it’s less noticeable that it IS a mugshot?
The special treatment for this radioactive toad will never end.

An old guy bought me & my friend a shot at the bar because my friend told him I was a writer.
“How many books have you written?”
“46. #47 is out next year.”
“WOW. What? How? How many did Hemingway have, 10 in his whole life?”
“…mate, Hemigway’s rent was $10 a month in Key West. I gotta hustle a little more than my man Ernie.”
“What do you want to be for Halloween this year, love? Any thoughts?”
4 year old: “YOU!”
“Me?!”
“Yeah, I just need a black wig, a black dress, a BIG necklace, and some books!”
“Okay…but why is that scary?”
4: “Because then *I* would make the rules!” *literal villain cackle*
“…you’re right. That’s the most terrifying costume I’ve ever heard of.”
