Squarepusher needs to automate his autism wank music with algorithms. Then again I need to automate my autism wank posts with algorithms. The universe won't be complete until there are no souls or natural intelligence left, just cold calculating algorithms pretending to be alive. |

I respect your opinion, but I wholeheartedly disagree. |

I think Stefan Molyneux would call The Chinese Room a deepity. |

i've always loved that analogy. i prefer to visualize it like this: you spell out a sentence to be translated from english to chinese in a felt-lined box with ivory-faced, wooden tiles. 32x32 squares, an individual hole for each. then you hand it to the interface monk, along with the proper tokens (a donation) and the tray is given to the first assembly line worker. he does not speak english. instead, he just rearranges some of the tiles; replaces one or two with some from a bin, and passes it to the next man. you watch this through a plexiglass window. the next man does the same thing. and the next man, and the next. eventually, you get bored of following along, and leave. a day later, you come back, and are give your translation, copied onto a slip of bamboo paper with an ink quill from the final tray. i suppose consciousness is like one of the workers getting bored and deciding to experiment by swapping a tile or two wrong. |

Squarepusher is a sad fellow. Pretty clever and skilled, with a good ear, yet no soul. He hit the mark on the off-occasion in his early days though. |
