Facebook shuts down AI system after it invents own language

quote [ Mark Zuckerberg may believe Elon Musk’s warnings about the dangers of artificial intelligence are “irresponsible,” but a recent incident at the social network appears to suggest the Tesla boss could have a point: Facebook researchers decided to shut down an AI they invented after it started speaking its own made up language.

In a conversation between two bots called Bob and Alice, Bob states: “I can i i everything else.” Alice responds with the equally bizarre: “balls have zero to me to me to me…” The rest of the exchange consisted of variations of these sentences. ]

Cute, but not too unexpected. Grammatical errors pile up and build on each other, training themselves into the system. I trained a seq2seq network a couple of months ago and you could ask it anything, even malformed, and it would respond with something. Repeat that circular cycle a few thousand times and you'll end up with what they describe. Sometimes, you end up with something weirder. ;)

I just read through https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Old_Man_Henderson, describing a "Call of Cthulhu" campaign in which one of the PCs cut the Gordian Knot.

Instead of sneaking into Lovecraftian cultist hideouts full of intrigue, plot-hooks and danger, Henderson would simply kick in the front door, shotgun in hand, and execute every mother-fucking Cthulhu worshipper or PC who got in his way. Or just fire-bomb their premises and go drinking. It was surprisingly effective.

I love this stuff.
