What’s the worst advice you’ve received in your life?

My careers advisor in high school.

When I said “I think I want to do something with computers” she said “have you heard of Microsoft?”

Then she wrote Microsoft on a piece of paper and slid it across the table and that was my careers interview over.

TIL Facebook created two AI chatbots to converse with one other, only to shut them down when they began speaking in a language they had created for themselves.

via reddit.com

The AI chatbots did not become sentient or rebel or actually “”“communicate”“” in the way this implies, lol. They were designed to negotiate and make deals with each other on a set of items, making offers and countering for items. They were supposed to use English text, parse the English text, and generate a counter, while avoiding language that got worse outcomes. What ended up happening was that “I want” and “to me” are particularly powerful negotiating phrases, whereas most of the language was deemed sub-optimal. So reinforcement learning ended up reinforcing those phrases and the chatbots ended up trying to negotiate with those phrases alone. Just… miles of “to me to me to me to me”. They shut the bots down not because they had magically developed capabilities or goals they weren’t given, but because they were failing and poorly designed. Specifically, the researchers didn’t add a “does this look like English” check to the reinforcement rules, so things just started getting incomprehensible.

This wasn’t scary or a portent of doom. It was a failure. This kinda thing happens all the time. It’s not even that noteworthy. 🙂

It doesn’t make us go crazy. We just don’t understand the why. No one has ever satisfactorily explained why bagged milk is better than milk in jugs.

There is no literal reason since the jugs we use are just as cheap as bags and with a bag you need to put it into something as soon as it’s opened because otherwise you’re crying over spilt milk

I don’t understand why y’all use jugs though. They’re so impractical.

No they’re not. You have a self contained stand able container.

With a bag you have one floppy boi

We have holders for that. There’s no real difference.

Wouldn’t it be crazy if there was a way you could hold milk without grabbing a separate holder? Some sort of solid plastic or cardboard container, that would be so cool.

Then there are Soviet milk pyramids. Those are the oddest milk containers of all but they’re really cool.

Thanks! That’s horrible! Curse you for sharing!
