When an actor plays a scene exactly the way a director orders, it isn't acting. It's following instructions. Anyone with the physical qualifications can do that.
The good news about computers is that they do what you tell them to do. The bad news is that they do what you tell them to do.
Following instructions is overrated.
I took lessons for about everything you could imagine - gymnastics to karate to flute and piano. My mom always definitely kept me in some kind of class or program, but for guitar, I kinda gave up on then kinda just taught myself. Same thing with piano. I've never been good with following lessons.
I think accepting an instruction is part of a player's responsibility.
I can play guitar - but I can't really. I wouldn't say I'm talented at it. I just kind of watch videos on YouTube, and I follow the instructions... OK, yeah, my hidden talent: I'm good at following instructions!
School typically doesn't prepare young people for real life - unless their lives are spent following instructions and pleasing others. In my opinion, that's why so many students who succeed in school fail in life.
People hate to and will not read instructions.
When you tell other people to do stuff they don't know how to do, they tend to freak out.
Anywhere attacking, I will go. Where the manager says to go, I will try and do the job.
There's no doubt in my mind that whichever commander ordered the blowing up of Kamisiyah did so in following the instructions that he had received.
The computer would do anything you programmed it to do.
We follow instructions to my destination, a chamber for my preparation.
We will pay any price that we are instructed to. But the money has to come from somewhere.
I was never good at taking instructions.
Computers are good at following instructions, but not at reading your mind.
I'm a coach's coaching player. I like to be on the floor. So, if the coach tells me what to do out on the floor, I can get it done. I'm really comfortable being directed.
When you make machines that are capable of obeying instructions slavishly, and among those instructions are 'duplicate me' instructions, then of course the system is wide open to exploitation by parasites.
