  24. Turing Test Performance ~proport. to Moore's Law on AI Sues for Its Life in Mock Trial · · Score: 1

    Programs like Eliza have been around since and have not increased in their ability to pass the Turing Test signifigantly. The results Loebner Prize do not show a significant improvement, at least not one that correlates to the improvement in speed/storage. Therefore, I don't think that one can infer that a, future, "fast" computer would be able to pass the turing test based on engineering advances. This will have to come from biological/psycological/neurological/algorithmic advances that are not assured.

  25. Making the iPod sound this good was a mistake... on iPods are for Audiophiles · · Score: 1

    Making the iPod sound this good was overkill considering what 99.9% of people use it for-- listening to some 128kb mp3 downloaded off of Kazaa. Consumers who want an iPod are forced to slap down more money for features that they'll never need. Apple, keep the style, loose the technology and high price.
