I host my own email, DNS, website, and many other services, so I figure I should probably host my own mastodon instance as well. Plus as @aral@mastodon.ar.al always says, it's good for the Fediverse to have more smaller instances.

Did Turing realize his standards for computer intelligence made incentives to develop AI that are judged first on how well they deceive?
Whether it's lying about being human, lying about the quality/correctness of your work, or creating false images/audio/video presented as real, many (most?) current applications for "AI" and their metrics for success, seem to be founded on intentional deception.
It seems risky & unethical to create intelligence where lying is the first lesson.
