Saw someone say “it’s better to live to fight another day” about the latest organizations caving, and not noticing the important part about that is that THEY HAVE TO ACTUALLY FIGHT AT SOME POINT, otherwise you’re just endlessly ceding ground! They never do that!

Yes that's where the "47 programs connected through sockets" comes in. Perl has the entire Unix suite of application programs jammed together into one executable, glued together with the worst part of all their syntaxes. Without the excuse that they are different programs written at different times.

Gee I was just thinking that Perl4 was basically everything terrible about Bash built into one executable instead of 47 programs connected through sockets. My introduction to Perl was a program called Majordomo. I really shouldn't be expected to have to explain any further than that.

It really annoys me that the people behind this research have managed to convince the world to refer to it as artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence implies A system that builds models of the world and reasons about them. Not a parody generator.

Too bad it wasn't quite small enough. I used a shell on MS-DOS that actually supported a subset of the Unix experience with some programs even being able to run in pipelines and with redirects, and every single program written in Turbo Pascal bypassed all of that and wrote directly to the hardware.

Well I met my wife on a pirate Apple bulletin board system in like 1983. I think dial-up bulletin board systems count as social media.

Aren't their models of how neurons work that they are using still based on the early 1950s papers on the subject?

I think I was already married when that came out. My childhood TV was mostly in the Dark Ages between the original Star Trek and the reboots.
