A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't understand, can you elaborate please. How is it not biological?
@selzero @glenatron @raccoona_nongrata @fwygon it’s biological the way zoology is physics. Technically true but so deeply ignorant of the orders of magnitude of history and emergent complexity for that also to not be relevant. It’s a profoundly reductive way to look at things to the point of missing their fundamental nature.
@aredridel @glenatron @raccoona_nongrata @fwygon
So, a human being a link in the chain of this historical cultural development of creation, is "more valuable" than a machine doing that?
Who makes these rules?
There is some kind of value structure at play here that I have not been made privy to?
@doug @aredridel @glenatron @raccoona_nongrata @fwygon
So Doug what you are saying is one of these things takes in external data, processes it, synergies it, and exports a derivative version, and the other thing is the machine?
No wait, the other thing is the human?
... Wait...
@doug @aredridel @glenatron @raccoona_nongrata @fwygon
Imagination *IS* the processing of retained information to create a derivative.
@selzero @doug @glenatron @raccoona_nongrata @fwygon not just: it’s about relationships. Nearly all art is social.
