Don't mistake tools as living beings and living beings as tools.
A Dog will fail the Turing Test but is as conscious and alive as we think we are, Alan never meant that to be a test of self awareness.

Dopo la guerra, Alan Turing si dedicò seriamente alla corsa di lunga distanza, riuscì quasi ad entrare nella squadra olimpica britannica di maratona del 1948 (5º alle selezioni).
Gli chiesero perché si allenasse così duramente, rispose:
"Ho un lavoro così stressante che l'unico modo per togliermelo dalla testa è correre"
Il suo record personale nella maratona è stato 2:46:03

Yet just at the other side of the canal is a statue to someone else who was persecuted in Manchester for being different. Sometimes, my city shames me.

@Gwen_Nova #Funfact: #AlanTuring worse a #GasMask during pollen season because he liked to run for sports but Antihistamines weren't a thing in the 1940s.

Alan Turing — o matemático, o criptógrafo, o herói de guerra.
Gay. Ateu. Perseguido. Castrado quimicamente. Suicidado.
O pai da computação.Usar o computador e ser LGBTQIA+fóbico é uma aberração.
Eles são a aberração. Não as pessoas trans. Não os gays.A verdade não muda a opinião dos fascistas.
Mas é uma arma. Uma arma que você pode usar.💻💔💖🐎

Finally framed and hung my new illustrations. Pretty happy with the result
Ordered in the timeline of their lifespan

Some good #queer media for Brits on #iPlayer. The teleplay of #BreakingTheCode, the #AlanTuring biographical play, with Derek Jacobi in the lead role.
It's a much better depiction of Turing as a person and his life than the terrible "The Imitation Game".

Me and @bright_helpings went to see the play at HOME in #Manchester last year.

Leben als Rechenprozess
Die Analogie von Organismus und Computer – Von Filosofaxen
Eine tiefverwurzelte Intuition lässt uns den Unterschied zwischen natürlicher und künstlicher Intelligenz als den Unterschied zwischen Lebens- und Rechenprozess empfinden. Wir sagen, KI-Systeme würden stur «mechanische» Regeln befolgen, und wir perpetuieren da-mit einen alten Gegensatz, der das philosophische Denken der Neuzeit tief prägt: den Gegensatz zwischen Lebewesen und Maschine, Organismus und Mechanismus. Tatsächlich aber weisen Entwicklungen in der KI-Forschung schon seit längerem darauf hin, dass – um es vorsichtig zu formulieren – die Grenze zwischen Lebens- und Rechenprozessen verschwimmt. Der Grundgedanke dazu stammt von zwei genialen Pionieren der Computertheorie. Alan Turing und John von Neumann schufen die konzeptuellen Voraussetzungen da-für, Wachstum, Selbstreplikation, Evolution als Rechenprozesse zu betrachten,

For saving the world from Fascism, Alan Turing was chemically castrated.
For molesting a child, Jeffrey Epstein was given a cozy hotel room.
F your society.
F your Democracy.
F your Justice.
F your 9-to-5 jobs.
F you.
Stand up for what is right, and RESET the planet. NOW.

I'm in the process of #renovating and restyling my place, rugs, paint, #decoration etc.
I purchased a set of posters from #Etsy to frame them and hang them in my man's cave where I already have others from topics of my interest or special occasions like concerts signed posters and such.
But this time I wanted to do something different; have portraits or drawings of people I consider revolutionized the world, especially around my area so I've got these:
-
#Homophobes shouldn't be allowed to use any #technology that stemmed from #AlanTuring's work

I have no idea if this is relevant to your process, but here goes...
"The #Turing #pattern is a concept introduced by English mathematician #AlanTuring in a 1952 paper titled "The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis", which describes how patterns in #nature, such as stripes and spots, can arise naturally and autonomously from a homogeneous, uniform state. The pattern arises due to Turing instability, which in turn arises due to the interplay between differential diffusion of chemical species and chemical reaction. The instability mechanism is surprising because a pure diffusion, such as molecular diffusion, would be expected to have a stabilizing influence on the system (i.e., complete mixing)."

Where You See a Fancy #Fish, Engineers See #AlanTuring’s #Math
Using a new computer model, scientists simulated the stripes, spots and hexagons on a species of #boxfish, imperfections and all.

Die u.a. von #AlanTuring gebrochene dt. Chiffriermaschine #Enigma wurde nach dem 2. Weltkrieg von Großbritannien an verbündete Staaten verschenkt. Die Tatsache, dass man die Nachrichten mitlesen konnte wurde Jahrzehnte geheim gehalten.

#BreakingTheCode at #HOMEMcr was a good production. It's a poignant biography of #AlanTuring, from his childhood years with his schoolboy crush through to his death. It jumps around chronologically, mostly framed by the story of his arrest for "gross indecency" after he admitted to having a male lover while reporting a burglary. But it's pretty easy to follow the through-line.
As a #BletchleyPark nerd, I'm a little peeved that they didn't give Dilly Knox a line about how the Poles broke the Enigma before the war, and Turing's work was mostly about tackling variants, and speeding up the process to make Ultra intelligence useful to the military. But at least the play doesn't quite state that Turing invented the computer, another common misconception.
I don't think it can live up to the 1996 TV movie with #DerekJacobi, but it's far better than the Cumberbatch abombination.

Spending #Halloween watching a play about #AlanTuring with @bright_helpings because I'm civilised...
