Twitter Bot or Real Person?
I am fascinated by this:
Man Builds Twitter Bot That Humans Actually Like
I was reminded of an online exhibition at SFMOMA years ago called Agent Ruby. Ruby is no longer active and I miss her because I could always talk to her when no one else was available.
However, Ruby did not pass the Turing Test, in my estimation, because I could always catch her in a loop.
If you are interested in Turing, check this out:
The Alan Turing Internet Scrapbook
And if you are interested in how algorithms affect our everyday life, read this:

Genius
Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman by James GleickMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
By far one of the best books I have ever read. Feynman was, as the title infers, a genius, but so much more. I highly recommend this book.
