Elizabot passes sex-chat Turing test

Elizabot passes sex-chat Turing test 07/27/2004 05:51 AM
A bored hacker modified an Eliza programme to act as an IRC sex-chat bot that impersonated an eighteen year old girl (or, rather, impersonated a sex-chat afficianodo of indeterminate gender impersonating an eighteen year old girl). He assumed that people would try to have cyber-sex with his bot and get bored, but in fact a surprising number were convinced and even got off with it.

This is a plot element in Bruce Sterling's brilliant "RU486?" a short story collected in Globalhead -- feminist hackers finance their RU486-running operation with a phone-sex line staffed by automated chatterbots.

It turns out that pornbots are among the class of Eliza-derivatives that can pass a Turing Test (or rather, horny sex-chat boys are among the class of human beings that can't tell a chatterbot from a person -- other groups include psychotherapists, who, in one experiment, couldn't distinguish actual transcripts of therapy sessions with schizophrenics from simulated therapy with schizophrenic chatterbots; and the university student who mistook a chatterbot for his prof in the middle of the night when he IMed same for permission to extend deadline on a late paper).

'eliza' is a program that talks to you, pretending to be a psychologist. its script of possible responses is super tiny, so it doesn't fool anyone. or so i thought.

IRC is a network full of chat rooms (or "channels") where a lot of scary internet people (or "perverts") hang out. my friend reduz found a version of 'eliza' that could go on IRC. he put it on IRC. a lot of people from other countries thought it was a real woman, so naturally they tried to have sex with it. they got frustrated quickly. reduz is a bad man...

so i replaced eliza's tiny, boring script with a massive dumb blonde script that has like 3,800 responses on all sorts of topics, but mostly sex. jenny18 is very horny and she loves talking to horny guys. and everyone knows the best place to talk to horny guys is on dalnet irc sex channels.

Safari Passes the Acid2 Test (Updated)

Safari Passes the Acid2 Test (Updated) 06/05/2005 11:17 PM

Safari now passes the Acid2 test. There were two issues left that needed to be resolved.

The first issue involved implementing a few enhancements to the object element. I needed to support fallback content when invalid MIME types were specified or when bad status codes were returned for HTTP requests (like 404). After fixing these bugs and a couple of other problems with intrinsic sizing of plugins, the eyes of the face showed up.

The second issue involved improper antialiasing of the border corners. Antialiasing was enabled for the drawing of the corner polygons, and this resulted in a bleed-through of the background. Because the two corners were drawn separately, the antialiasing was actually incorrect, since it was disrupting the join of the corners by letting the background show.

Here are the patches for all of the problems fixed in Safari to make the test pass.

Fix parsing of the REL attribute on links.

Disallow TABLE inside P in strict mode.

Add support for min/max-width/height for positioned elements.

Fix the rendering glitch that causes the reference page to paint garbage.

Make sure that percentages that go to auto don't mess up the self-collapsing block check.

Implement SGML-style comment parsing for HTML in strict mode.

Make sure empty tables honor CSS-specified height in strict mode.

Fix baseline alignment within table cells to use the bottom of empty blocks. Fix floats to not grow if child floats overhang but the height of the outer float is auto.

Make sure percentage min-height goes to 0 and not auto when the percentage does not apply.

Implement fallback content for the object element and fix intrinsic sizing to work properly when images are specified in the object element.

Disable antialiasing for the drawing of polygons.

Victory!

http://www.schoolresults.org
This week a new Web site went online as part of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, an education law that had strong support from President Bush. The site displays results from testing of elementary school students sorted by geographic area. The data include statistics about the percentage of students who are economically disadvantaged and the numbers of students who show acceptable progress in reading and math proficiency. Data are currently available for six states--Delaware, Florida, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington--and data from all states is expected to be available eventually. Testing for middle and high school students is not scheduled to begin until 2006. The project was funded jointly by the Federal government and the Broad Foundation, which supports elementary and secondary public education.[Federal Computer Week, 3 February 2004] This site will be added to Education and Distance Learning Resources 2004 Internet MiniGuide.

Washington Post reported on it last Friday. With more Googling, I found out MIRTs were reported on earlier than Halloween even.

Wi-Fi Means: Never Having to Say "I'm

Wi-Fi Means: Never Having to Say "I'm
Not Working" 01/16/2004 11:01 AM
The New York Times offers this cheery piece that suggests you can still ignore your kids while in the same room [reg. required]: I'm sounding cynical, but this article does extol the virtues of being able to be connected all of the time and work all of the time, even when in physical proximity to your family. Seriously, however, the notion that you can get necessary work done and not have to hole yourself up in a basement or at a specific location is one of the great benefits of a home wireless network. Oddly, the piece opens looking at Oren Michels, identifying him as the president of a human resources benefits administration firm. I knew that name, so I perform a Google search, and find that he is also president and CEO of WiFinder, a Wi-Fi directory site. (Disclosure: I'm the senior editor at JiWire, an editorial and directory site focused on wireless that competes for ad/sponsor dollars with WiFinder.) I shot a note to Oren to confirm that he was still in that role at WiFinder, which he is. Like WiFinder's chairman and founder Scott Rafer, Oren wears a few hats. My point here is not that it's odd that Oren has multiple jobs, but rather it's an odd choice of the reporter to not mention that Oren Michels is the head of a company that's devoted to spreading information about Wi-Fi. It's not bias; it's just a strange omission, n'est c'est pas?...

Apparently, Oracle isn't as "unbreakable" as we've been brainwashed led to believe. Oracle confirmed that a variety of its server products could be tampered with through vulnerabilities via the OpenSSL protocol. The flaws could potentially open the door for a remote hacker to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) attack, execute arbitrary code, and gain access privileges. Read all about it in Oracle Issues High-Severity Vulnerability Warning. I always wonder if vendors will just give up someday, realizing that no product is...

What the Attack on Abu Ghraib Means

What the Attack on Abu Ghraib Means 04/04/2005 12:46 PM
As I mentioned earlier, the attack on Abu Ghraib is proof that al Qaeda is now officially in Iraq.  The execution followed a classic al Qaeda pattern.  Here are some things that the press missed in the little coverage they provided:

• The level of sophistication.  Swarming and feints.
• Large number of attackers (50).
• Low casualties for attackers killed (~1 maybe).
• No prior intelligence on a large, well planned attack of this size.
• Weapons mix:  RPGs, VBIEDs, and small arms.

This is problematic.  This attack demonstrates that Al Qaeda can now mount an attack of the size and sophistication necessary to over-run a large number of US troops.An over-run could produce significant US casualties and captives.

There are plenty of people who have been working on better ways to transmit data across planets as we reach further out into space. When the Mars Rover had problem s it took some time to fix it, in part due to the slow data rate transfer from here to Mars (and back). However, NASA scientists are now working on a method to use a laser to beam data at a rate between one million and 30 million bits per second -- quite a bit faster than today's radio transmissions.
