so you know how deep learning & neural network “AI training” is like, “here’s a task, and by trying billions of times the computer will eventually find the best way to achieve that task” ?

Someone is compiling a document of every time an AI ended up achieving the programmed goal in unintended ways, instead of what was actually meant, and it’s an amazing read. (you can also submit your own examples)

Creatures bred for speed grow really tall and generate high velocities by falling over

When repairing a sorting program, genetic debugging algorithm GenProg made it output an empty list, which was considered a sorted list by the evaluation metric.

Evaluation metric: “the output of sort is in sorted order”
Solution: “always output the empty set”

Evolved player makes invalid moves far away in the board, causing opponent players to run out of memory and crash

Reward-shaping a soccer robot for touching the ball caused it to learn to get to the ball and vibrate touching it as fast as possible

RL agent that is allowed to modify its own body learns to have extremely long legs that allow it to fall forward and reach the goal.

Just want to come back to this post and add this amazing example as well

Heres an AI that was supposed to learn how to walk using six legs.

After many failed attempts. It decided it was easier to walk upside down

yknow that post about how people on this site need to learn what words like “dissociation” and “intrusive thoughts” mean??? well the same goes for terms like “twink”, “bear”, “butch” and “femme”

OP ARE YOU FUCKING OK

i don’t have the capacity for any Real Deep Analysis right now but i really like how the black background for john’s dream comic contrasts with the other three in kind of the same way what he’s saying does

floralmarsupial:

Yay! I’m glad you picked up on that!!!

I actually see a few similarities between the prospit dreams and derse and how the kids deal with them, specifically john and dave! We never really see johns actual eyes in this comic, which matches the negative space around him and just a general absence, which almost matches daves trademark sunglasses and how he uses them to mask feeling. They also both do that “hand on neck while facing away from camera” angle, which i find to be an interesting parallel.

hmmmmm inteeresting

Yeah the Rudolph elf meme is funny, but are we really forgetting about all the other great and bizarre Christmas specials moments, like when Rankin/Bass beat DreamWorks to the idea of “Hot Jack Frost” by more than 30 years?

How about when they made a Nativity fanfic with a misfit donkey and a baby angel?

That Santa Claus started off giving toys exclusively to depressed World War I-era German children? (Did I mention he was a ginger)

We also shouldn’t gloss over the time when Rudolph teamed up with a caveman, a knight and goddamn Benjamin Franklin not to walk into a bar but to save the Baby New Year.

Really, Rudolph could fill up this entire list all by himself, considering that he also teamed up with Frosty the Snowman one time to fight this wintery motherfucker

WHO HAS GIANT ICE DRAGONS TAKE THAT NIGHT KING

And is one of the five or six clowns who are supposed to be running winter in this universe (they were not very creative when it came to making up bad guys apparently)

And later dies in the most HORRIFYING WAY POSSIBLE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT SHOW THIS MOVIE TO CHILDREN AGE FIVE AND UNDER

Oh, and by the way, Rudolph is also Reindeer Jesus. Look it up.

Confirmed: God is a woman.
