The gilbert@cs.glasgow.ac.uk (Gilbert Cockton) writes (jokingly?): [ How does "Intelligence arises thru socialisation." exclude machines? ] -=> Cos you can't take a computer, not even the just truly awesomest -=> nooral network ever, to see the ducks, get it to throw them bread, -=> etc, etc. Nor a blind paraplegic. If a computer can launch a missile, then surely it can launch a crust of bread. Why, it'd be like shooting ducks in a pond... :-) -=> Take a walk through your life. Can you really see a machine going -=> through that with an identical outcome? If so, lay off the cyberpunk -=> and get some fresh air with some good folk :-) Why need it be identical? Human intelligence is the example, not the definition. ( The smiley may have applied to the whole message, seeing as how the poster works in a CS department. Think before you flame. )
