Mechanical Turk to the rescue

[Michael Oltmans <moltmans@>]

Sick and tired of your thesis?  Had it up to here with your adviser? 
Interested in getting out of academia ASAP?  Skeptical of email offers
for your PhD from a "Prestigious non-Accredited" university?

No Problem!  http://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome

AI has been made completely obsolete by Mechanical Turk, the artificial 
artificial intelligence.  Using this unique non-virtual machine you can 
write pseudo code such as:

read (photo);
photoContainsHuman = callMechanicalTurk(photo);
if (photoContainsHuman == TRUE){
    acceptPhoto;
}
else {
    rejectPhoto;
}

Based on ingenious, cutting edge, technology from 1769 (Presumably AD), 
such queries can be performed for $0.12 at no computational cost, 
without a quantum computer, and requiring 0 monkeys any number of days.

Are you Amazed?  Befuddled?  Wondering what you're still doing at MIT 
when you too could write such pseudo code as:

read (backgroundLiterature);
newProblem = callMechanicalTurk(backgroundLiterature);
if (newProblem == TRUE){
    thesis = callMechanicalTurk(newProblem, backgroundLiterature);
    publishThesis(thesis);
}
else {
   print("Mechanical Turk can't even pass your quals.  Abandon hope");
}

All for just $0.15 to $0.20!  Come find out how to get rich or graduated 
via Mechanical Turk at tonights neither Turkish nor Artificial but 
Artificially artificial Turkish edition of...
