To Hold A Fork
Some victories are small, but mean the world.
We celebrate big victories on stage on World Theatre Day.
Big actions. Huge performances.
Not the small ones.
They pass unnoticed.
Holding a fork is quieter.
🍽️🤲🍴⏳💫🤍
To hold a fork.
Timeless.
Rare.
Precious, muted steel
🍽️🤲🍴⏳💫🤍
I grasp.
It drops.
I reach.
It drops.
I grasp -
Five seconds
It drops.
🍽️🤲🍴⏳💫🤍
They glare.
The fallen fork shines.
Not the grasp.
🍽️🤲🍴⏳💫🤍
Fallen fork -
Glistens.
Grasping hand -
Dulled.
Aches.
🍽️🤲🍴⏳💫🤍
Unseen.
🍽️🤲🍴⏳💫🤍
Then lifts
Fingers clenched.
Firm.
Fork clutched.
🍽️🤲🍴⏳💫🤍

How machines can learn from human behaviour
In order to understand where we are and where we are going, we need to understand where we were first. - Susan Fourtane Could a human behaviour simulator be embedded into a robot or online avatar to the point that it’s hard to distinguish between a real person or artificial intelligence? Scientists have been upping the stakes in this “Turing test” for years, to the point that human-mimicking programmes are ready to answer tricky questions, assist people with online shopping or be companions.
