Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for July 27, 2020

Is this something like a cognitive test?

If they were really looking for free will, they wouldn’t make you jump through all those hoops.

Choose between self preservation or self sacrifice for others.

You might find this interesting. QI tackles the subject. (One swear word) https://www.facebook.com/bbctwo/videos/291442538716352/

Spell cofveve and bigly

Free will? What’s that? Nobody’s free to do or say what they want in this PC CC era. (CC for cancel culture).

…what?

Show free will by refusing to do further.

Sitting at my computer, clicking away, proves I have no free will.

What if real shops were like shopping online?

My SIL can’t figure those robo character things. Hmmmm!

Select for yourself a path in actual reality

So what is “free will” and how do you prove to someone else that you have it?

What is the sound of one hand clapping? (BTW- I hate Captchas!)

Now, all you have to do is click a box that says, “I AM NOT A ROBOT”. Any hacker with half a mind should be able to work around that. But it brings up a point: What are robots doing on computers anyway? Aren’t they supposed to be mopping our floors and doing the dishes? This is what Robert Heinlein said they would do. Of course, he also went forward in time (or was it backward) (or was is suspended animation) in “The Door Into Summer”. This was the book that made me a Sci-Fi lover and a cat lover. Named my first cat “Pete”.

I will demonstrate free will by never going to that site.

A computer program called Eugene Goostman, which simulates a 13-year-old Ukrainian boy, is said to have passed the Turing test.

Can Brewster pass the Turing Test?

With Private Browsing as my ad blocker, I have to log into Discus each time. I got the bridge question this morning.

“Stop trying to pass the Turing Test!” ~ Dilbert

But what if you are a robot? Where does that leave you?

Try passing the Montreal Cognitive Test, Brewster!

Free will is an illusion. As am I.

Mr. Trump would be stump(ed)

They’re p!ssing me the heII off. Even PayPal has gotten into the act.

One website, I think I managed to get something like 14 or 15 of the ‘click the bridge/bus/car/bicycle/truck/hydrant/stairs/motorcycle/trees/hills/boat’ variety.

Sounds ridiculous, and frankly it was.

At this point you wonder what you came to this site for.

I really hate the picture ones in particular. It’s always hard to satisfy the app, I’m never sure I have all of them.

Robo-test: “Demonstrate the capacity for free will”

Me: Ok proceeds to smash robo-test

person, woman, man, camera, tv .

How come we only get asked by robots to prove that we aren’t robots?

I really hate the “pick the images” level
