kmizu I have the impression that the “idealistic” engineers of the world sometimes tend to propose “it works as long as humans are idealistic” solutions such as XHTML, Semantic Web (they have different layers, but that’s beside the point), or general-purpose I have the impression that “idealistic” engineers tend to propose solutions that “work if humans are idealistic”, such as XHTML, Semantic Web, or visual programming languages that aim to be general-purpose programming languages (the layers of both are different, but that is beside the point).

I also thought in 2002 or so that it was wrong that something that can’t be parsed like HTML should have to be rendered anyway, and that something like XHTML should be the mainstream. But reality didn’t turn out that way.

I think the Semantic Web probably underestimated “human laziness”.

I think the trap we tend to fall into when “aiming for the ideal” is to disregard human nature, such as “humans are lazy” or “humans cannot be perfect” (people who design are perfectionists and can in fact achieve perfection).

 and then I realized that’s what humans and cat are doing right now.

kmizu I sometimes think it would be nice to see that happen in the near future.

nishio I need to practice saying “nyan” in a cute way! ()

kmizu Speaking of which, I’ve been thinking lately that it would be interesting to try bami meat as a challenge. Like trying to wear cuteness?

nishio What is “cuteness” for AI


kmizu I think this is a very difficult question, but I asked Dr. Claude (I’m not sure if he really meant it) about the cuteness.

Beetles and grasshoppers are surprisingly highly valued (as much as humans). image image image image

  • I am, however, more attracted to the “intelligence” and “affinity” of the creatures than their “cuteness” in my own sense. That is why I hold dolphins and AI in relatively high regard. Intelligent and friendly beings make me feel closer to them.

nishio intellectual and you should aim for a friendly presence!

kmizu friendly but surprisingly difficult. Insects don’t rate that low, maybe that’s unique to AI.
