If rule-based highlighting of syntax is meaningfully helpful for reading code then how come nobody uses rule-based syntax highlighting of prose? Why don't we visually emphasize the verb in a sentence and deemphasize articles and prepos

Fwiw the teaching of the church is that (today's) AI isn't at a human level because human intelligence is something that we experience whereas artificial intelligence seems to be merely a sophistication in performing tasks. This

Why do you think that the human mind can contain semantics but a machine cannot? This argument needs some sort of dualism, or what Turing called "the objection from continuity" to account for this. FWIW I don't think that the

> What Turing was trying to do, is to isolate this "hard problem of consciousness" and separate it from easier problems we can actually answer. Yes exactly. As a computer scientist this is a great thing to do, science is all

What people actually mean by "data" in a phrase like "data-driven" is fungible observations that you can do quantitative analysis with. Yes in some sense "a podcast I heard once" is data, but nobody means that
