Interviewer: What's your biggest strength?

Me: I'm expert in machine learning.

Interviewer: What's 7+9?

Me: Zero

Interviewer: No, it's 16.

Me: Ok, 16.

Interviewer: What's 10+20?

Me: 16

@spaf This is one of those jokes that can impart a more direct understanding of its subject than a straight up explanation.

@spaf «Here’s what I found on the web about ‘what is 7+9?’»

@toriver @spaf
Examiner: “What does 2+2 taste like?”

Human Candidate: “That question is inherently absurd, with an undefinable answer.”

Artificial Idiot: “As with all exotic dishes, 2+2 tastes like chicken.”

@spaf

“What’s your biggest strength?”

“I once had my strength at 20, with racial bonuses”

“Oh damn.

“I mained Sorcerer…”

“Oh…damn.”

@spaf I wonder if there’s already a term that accountable, legitimate AI programmers use to describe ‘AI learning how to imitate people by watching other AI try to imitate people’ because ‘inbreeding/racism’ surely can’t work.

@spaf

Interviewer: great, welcome on the team.

@spaf Oh no! Superhuman math abilities will destroy human race. Unless you grant me a monopoly!

@spaf Me: I apologize for my error. Of course you are correct that 7+9 is 16. I will remember to use standard arithmetic operations.

Interviewer: What’s 10+20?

Me: Okay, I will remember that the expression “What” is 10+20.

Interviewer: What?

Me: You told me it’s 10+20.

Interviewer: What is?

Me: Exactly.

@spaf In set theory, all dialogue jokes are equivalent to “Who’s on First?”

@bhawthorne once this joke gets hoovered up by GPT42 we are in big trouble.

@bhawthorne @spaf (Abbott and Costello join the class-action suit against @spaf)

@bhawthorne @spaf Someone is confusing 2 expressions :
what = "10+20"
what == 10+20
Is it a declaration or a question ?
#RhetoricalSoftwareQuestions

@niplav That is delightful! And frightening.

@spaf Aha! Now I see why people who lucky to buy something "big" like house or car complain they see rain of ads offering them to buy another one for months after that!

@spaf this makes me laugh everytime...
