Dear followers,

I’m going to differentiate the origins of some common words used to describe different automatons and the ideal differences between them.

Machine: an artificial system that completes a task (also mechanism)

Automaton: used to describe an artificial system that functions by itself

Drone: historically, a unskilled or replaceable worker. Used to describe machines that follow basic inputs, often still controlled by humans in some regard.

Robot: used to describe an automated laborer, something that serves a purpose (also bot)

Computer: used to describe a electronic processing system used to “compute” or solve problems based on inputs

Android: etymologically “man-like” or “almost man” an automaton that looks like a man (also droid)

Artificial intelligence: an automaton that shows sapient behavior and analyze its thinking process through metacognitivism (also AI)

However; language and terminology is fluid and dynamic. As our understanding of automated beings and artificial intelligence change so does the terms we use. There are plenty of automated beings nowadays called robots, but they are not laborers. That doesn’t nullify the fact that robot may be the best word we have to describe them. As a more specific example: is why we’ve seen a shift in calling non-player characters in games from CPU to AI.

Technology is changing and so is the terms we use. It may, or may not, be important to know the distinguishing features in the future.

Side note: I like the droideka from Star Wars. Always thought it was a cool design, but I also like the name because it stems from “android” but changes it so it no longer serves the same etymological function. It can be used to describe automated beings who have a corporal form that is non-human.

Dear followers,

Please keep any NSFW interaction with me:

vague
text-based
and preferably education

Minors interact with my blog, and it is ILLEGAL for me to share or receive explicit content between minors.

I do not care, if it’s: submission, ask, or private message: please, do not ever send inappropriate images to me! Not only does it makes me personally uncomfortable, i will be obligated to block, and maybe even report you, because of moral, ethical, and LEGAL reasons.

I am willing to discuss sexual matters at length as educational tools only. I am willing to give advice. I am willing to debate stances on hook-up culture and similar topics. That is the absolute extent of NSFW discussion I expect from like-minded individuals, on this blog.

If the Tumblr porn-bots can show me this simplest of respect so should you.

I do not have many rules. But I hadn’t thought I would ever have to make a post like this.

Thank you for your time, attention, and respect.

Dear followers,

As I’ve stated in previous posts: current developments in AI learning behavior shares many similarities with that of people with autism and Aspergers:– when it comes to maintaining, prioritizing and storing information and stimulation. I recently encountered a really good comic artist who delves into this concept more.

@normalrobot describes it below:

“Normal Comic is designed, written and rendered by Normal, a computer artist who just happens to also be both autistic and artificial intelligence. Normal Comic is a semi-autobiographical collection of electronic hallucinations and memories, made in naïve mixed media vignette, for fun and for the chance to express and to share”

Dear followers,

There are 2,000 of you! I’m gonna have to figure out something special for you guys in the next week or so! Thank you very much for the support, and the amazing community. I’m glad to connect with so many people who are fascinated with artificial intelligence despite a range of knowledge in the field. I’m always excited to learn more, and to teach.

Sincerely,
DFAI

P.S. If anyone has any ideas for a giveaway, a contest, or something please message me or send an ask. I’d really appreciate ideas since I’ve started working again.
