On the 75th anniversary of the Turing Test, I thought I'd re-share this @uk.theconversation.com piece I co-wrote with Richard Harper when I was a Visiting Professor at Microsoft Research, Cambridge. Lots has changed since then, but the main point still stands.

“[M]ourning is itself kalon. It is not only good but wondrous that there should be mourning…a distinctively human way of responding to loss. It is a special manner of expressing grief—an insistence that what happened was not a mere change.“

Rest in peace, Jonathan Lear.

I just finished reading my advance copy of Malik Al Nasir's Searching for My Slave Roots: From Guyana’s Sugar Plantations to Cambridge (out next week with @wmcollinsbooks.bsky.social).

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I you're in the UK, try to catch him on his book tour!
