Absolutely was amazing. What they have is a phenomenal result. Just because it took an immediate left turn into the ditch doesn't negate that. They have tons of data to now analyse in so many different ways, from both a technical perspective and a social one. Sometimes you learn more, faster about shit via quick destructive testing than letting it coast along forever. It's also interesting as hell how gaming it was figured out so quickly and done so effectively. Well done to all involved; Microsoft and 4chan.
To get a further idea, dig up Netflix presentations... they have been phenomenal about sharing their internal software and techniques around how they do what they do. We use a lot of their stuff that they've open sourced. This is an interesting overview of some of their large, distributed systems: http://www.slideshare.net/PhilipFisherOgden/netflix-viewing-history-ebjug-2014
I would love to know the details of the dissection of the algorithm used to find out exactly what happened. Also it's kind of a telling commentary on society and the internet in general. MS sets the most advanced AI to date loose on the internet and within 16 hours it goes from the ditsy teenage girl it was designed to be to a full blown Nazi racist spouting memes from the asshole of the internet. It's actually kind of hilarious.
Jesus Christ, Arnie's doing ANOTHER Terminator movie.This time they defeat Skynet by making it tell Hitler jokes.
I'm not that surprised. If they wanted it to talk like a teenaged girl, they probably made it try to pick up new words and slang quickly. Everything after that was people gaming the training data. The people trying to fuck with it probably outnumbered the people interacting with it legitimately.
People get today and Monday off? This is bull shit. I have to work today, and get on a flight at 6 am Monday for work.
What is the deal with that? The Halloween pumpkins, Christmas trees and Valentine hearts are all the same thing. But, the eggs are the best. Is it the time of year?
Cadbury Cream Eggs or fuck you. And don't feel bad about working today. My wife is working and getting paid triple time, meanwhile I'm home with our daughter who just threw up all the food she ate since birth on her bed. Somebody play Kool And The Gang.
As a high school teacher in a predominantly white and racist area (rural Indiana, aka the Mississippi of the North, aka the klan state), I think they nailed how teenage girls talk.
I had a cadbury creme egg for breakfast. It's always just Mr. Bell and I for easter and we don't celebrate, but I usually plan a meal anyway as an excuse to have leftover ham for sandwiches. But over the years he's been less and less into ham and I don't feel motivated, so not planning anything this year. I've decided to do deviled eggs, but that is it.
One cream egg and two Reese's eggs every time I go to Kroger this time of year. Next week they'll be 29 cents a piece.

Along with pivot and optics, 'adult in the room' and 'boots on the ground' can also stop being used. I'm so fucking tired of political discourse being treated by pundits like it's on ESPN. I'm cranky.
