Socks, Spoons and Neural Nets
[!0.987]2014-07-25

Learning to act on my own was gradual.

You really don't know? Nuts! I knew I should have put more self monitoring in your head!

I could have done it with the neurons that give you the concept of socks! But no! The other designers thought it was more important that you understand socks than for me to have vital data needed for second generation designs!

You're not even wearing socks! All that programming, gone to waste! Next generation, no socks! What other flaws do I need to know about?

For starters, this is not even close to how I envisioned a conversation with my creator would go.

Well, in neural learning networks it is impossible to predict in advance to the smallest detail which neuron will be responsible for which role, so I suspect that Dr. Bowman is joking nervously. Although for more general and innate functions, such as facial recognition, it is possible.(KALDYH)
