Document Summary
Branch of comp science attempts are made to duplicate human it functions. Norbert wiener: machines could learn from experiences, learned and adapte. Wiener"s term resurfaced in 1990"s as cyberspace; world existing. Based on a drinking game: gender guessing game (imitation game) Judge can"t tell the difference of computer. Pre-programming (all possible solutions, binary) and simulated evolution (rhizomatic, every outcome is different) (1) pre-programming: Draws users into patterns; words you use, and continue conversation. Built an eliza (text based social media chat box) Science and technology and ai, (2) simulated evolution. Artificial life: simulations that sythyzies cell division (darwinism) Stimulate nature: building things that synthesize actual nature. Cell division and create things that would evolve. Creatures that together can achieve order, but comes from below. Like ants, bees: simple task, complex numbers. Only in social world do we believe that there is simplicity. Signification: way that signs work in a culture. It cons you, tells you how you should feel.
