We has flip.

@maxoakland they had to stop somewhere. The C64 was already more advanced on that front than any other personal computer. I do think it's unfortunate we didn't get new capabilities in the 128. It's basically the same graphics as the 64. And, the 80-column mode was not usable for games (except a rogue-like, maybe, or maybe for an information display for the game on the 40-column display, since you could have both at once).

@hipsterelectron @clayote @shoofle @mtrc love this idea

@hipsterelectron @clayote @shoofle @mtrc also merriam-webster dot com doesn't have a definition for "sinophobia" which I found out just now because I wanted to double check the spelling since I'm talking to smart people, and merriam-webster dot com not having a definition for "sinophobia" is absolutely sinophobic and honestly a lot more immediately problematic

@hipsterelectron @clayote @shoofle @mtrc "this john guy seems racist" was the other main conclusion I came away with, though for my own happiness I decided to assume the unfortunate framing was a clumsy attempt to at a setup for the second part to wherein he is circumstantially illiterate and a structured set of rules processed without requiring his understanding does not empower him to understand the text, but the thought experiment doesn't improve anything and makes him seem sinophobic

@aeva @clayote @shoofle @mtrc related possibility might be a similar construction of time-based "feeding" input, but with some sort of not-too-complex transformation that makes it possible to produce predictable output if you can guess the relationship. it would be cool to try to "feel" the response of the machine and to grasp the way it "understands" my input by intuition

Why do you think the hardware didn’t do that byte flipping itself?

@aeva @clayote @shoofle @mtrc i consider the chinese room experiment to be quite literally racist in that it assumes a human being does not learn chinese in the act of translating it by rote. i think the language was chosen precisely to obscure this basic fact. it makes the circular assumption that a human can somehow ever be made to act like a turing machine. possibly the most ridiculous and unserious thing which is taught in "AI" courses.
