Ranger Robin wrote Books on Birds.

Miniature Monday!

Small books about birds by “Ranger Robin” published by Phillips and Hunt. No date, but definitely 19th century. These are four inches tall, so they are a bit beyond a miniature book, but definitely still small.

The books are: Hawks and Owls, Swimming Birds, Tooth-Billed Birds, Vultures and Eagles, and Wading Birds.

When Joe Weizenbaum found his secretary using a computer program he had created, he was so upset he devoted the rest of his life to warning people not to use its technology. The program was “Eliza”, which gives a passable imitation of a nondirectional psychiatrist; you type sentences such as: “I wonder what I should write,” and it replies :“What answer would please you the most?” (You can try a version at psych.fullerton.edu/mbirnbaum/psych101/Eliza.htm). Weizenbaum’s distress came because he had written Eliza as an experiment, to see whether he could simulate “artificial intelligence” in a question-and-answer system by parsing sentences and throwing relevant bits back at the questioner. But his secretary saw it as real, and asked him not to intrude on “sessions”; Weizenbaum saw this as an omen that we would be too easily fooled into trusting machines.
