Lego Ideas - Working Turing Machine

What is a #Turing machine?

Depending on who you ask, it's either an abstract model of an algorithmic machine or an esoteric programming language. It's named after its creator, Alan Turing– an English #cryptologist.
The machine consists of:

  • an infinitely long (in real life: long enough to do all practical programs) tape with symbols that can be moved left and right
  • a "head" over one of the symbols that can read it and overwrite it with a new one,
  • some registers containing the state of the machine,
  • a table linking each combination of state and symbol to an instruction what to do next.

…and the working cycle of the machine looks like this:

  • read the symbol from the tape
  • based on the symbol and the state, see what to do next in the table
  • based on the instruction, go to a new state and print a new symbol in place of the one that has been read
  • also based on the instruction, move the tape 1 symbol left or right or exit the program

The cycle continues until the machine stops. This way it can execute any computer algorithm.

Reverse #Turing Test Identifies Human Among #AI

Source: https://blog.vive.com/us/reverse-turing-test-identifies-human-among-ai/

Although the video is an amusing piece of content, it's alarming how the AI models were able to identify Genghis Khan as human. The answers of the four AIs demonstrated a profound understanding of history, while Genghis Khan's answers lacked nuance. If the original Turing Test says an AI is intelligent because it's "smart enough," then the reverse seems to imply that "it's human because...it's foolish enough." It's a bit sad right?

As a mathematician, I always feel alienated, because of how little people know about maths, and because every non mathematician just scares when you start explaining something, even the easiest thing. “Oh, please, stop. Anyway I won’t get a thing”. This is the regular reaction of people.
Most people don’t know what #math is. But the worst part is, that they not only don’t know, they don’t want to know. Math scares them. Even physics doesn’t scare them as much, as math. Maybe because there is something that can be shown. (And also due to the great books of Stephan #Hawking and Carl #Sagan) But when it comes to Mathematics, everything becomes more complicated, because you can’t show it. It’s too abstract. And, it even doesn’t really exist. :)
So, I don’t have to say how much I appreciate when I see a popular #book about #maths. For me, as a reader, Edward #Frenkel's book “Love and Math” was a great read. (especially the beginning of the book, last chapter or two were bullshit…ehm, sorry). He showed how much Math mattered. He showed that it’s not a tool for #physics, but it can be the one which directs it.
Today I wanted to write about other book, a comic book about #logic “Logicomix”. When I started writing this post, I realized that what I want to say and how I feel about this book, is not quite about the book. This book. It’s more about my view of math, and how it should be represented to non mathematicians. And my concerns about this book are not relevant. They have done what they thought was important, telling all these stories about #Russell and war, and not paying that much attention to #Gödel, #Turing and Von Neumann. (Actually there was too little math in it. But I was very impressed when they wrote about #Frege (without explaining his system, without pointing out differences between Frege’s and #Aristotle's systems)).

Now I’m considering writing small blog posts on math for non mathematicians :)
