@wikipedia@wikis.world And yet, the Ship of Theseus page remains, thus proving a bird in the hand is worth two stitches in time.

@wikipedia@wikis.world Ah, the curiosities of our time! I doubt previous generations felt the need to ponder such things, let alone had a word for the concept. (Wikipedia didn't even exist before this century.)

@wikipedia@wikis.world How many full replacements though?
-
@not2b@sfba.social 2023-12-16 01:02
@wikipedia@wikis.world I suspect that this was noticed before the article had completely removed all of the original text, motivating editors to look for synonyms that they could use to replace the remaining original words. So it's kind of a Ship of Thesaurus.

@wikipedia@wikis.world if AI replaced all human thought processing, then at what point would the historical information no longer be of human intelligence and of truth, now only AI data....and is it now the new dominant intelligence on earth (and beyond)?

@wikipedia@wikis.world exactly the same process occurs in the cells in the human body, continually changing and renewing. You are not what you were. Are you still you?

@twobiscuits@graz.social 2023-12-16 12:29
@wikipedia@wikis.world The modern version is exactly what would happen if (as some ppl demand) license plates on bicycles were introduced. When is it still the same bike? We have fixed that for cars, but with quite an effort.

@wikipedia@wikis.world I first learned of Ship of Theseus when looking up Trigger's Broom, from UK sitcom Only Fools and Horses. It had 17 new heads and 14 new handles. https://youtu.be/LAh8HryVaeY?si=51TjrxxuLnJt2GgM
