Pretty funny find - somebody tried to let a computer design recipes. It starts out fine, but about halfway through it starts looking like something off GlaDOS's memory core. Lots of other AI fails - and some unexpected successes - in the archive.

Reading that made me very happy.

Maybe it just made up it's own shorthand like the Facebook AI did. It's just our fault as foolish meat sacks that we misinterpreted it.

Oh man that was the best laugh I've had in a while. I loved the recipe with 42 cups of milk and 1 cup of cherry seeds. Also, preheated my oven at 3500 for 8 minutes and I seem to have broken something.

The list of metal band names is pretty good too. I'd go to a metal fest featuring Stäggabash, Inhuman Sand and Death from the Trend, with special guest Sun Damage Omen

Instead of screwing up our cookie recipes, they should have one where they let a computer drive a car and somebody gets killed.   That would be a riot.

Help me out here--where is your data to show that you aren't just trolling and/or fear mongering?

 

Here is mine: It is estimated that autonomous vehicles have driven over 1 billion miles. There have been 2 deaths. 1 was the fault of the vehicle. That is about a .00000002% death rate per mile. 

In 2016, there were 37,461 deaths due to human error in auto accidents. It is estimated that there was 2.5 trillion miles driven (US only). Let's assume it was really 3 trillion. That is a death rate of .000001% per mile. Thus far the autonomous vehicles are about 6 times safer... Unless I'm missing something? Realistically, the autonomous vehicles are driven primarily in urban areas. Take out the [safer] rural miles and the rate for the human operated vehicles has to go up (that part is my conjecture, no proof of it)

I liked the one where it generated sports team names.  The Furten Cougars was my fave, 'course my brain read it as the Fartin' Cougars.

They're real, but the only ones that are verifiable are the death figures. The mileage figures are estimates; I'd assume a LOT of the autonomous miles are from Tesla and thus not quite fully autonomous.

As someone who knows enough about statistics to know that I don't know E36 M3, I'm also going to point out that it is a very imperfect comparison. For one thing, how many of those deaths occurred in vehicles manufactured before 1998, when airbags weren't required? How many of the deaths actually occurred due to something else (i.e. heart attack that lead to the crash)? How many weren't wearing seatbelts? And like I mentioned earlier, rural miles vs. urban  miles. 

Probably a better comparison would be crashes (not deaths) over mileage, and another of high-speed crashes over mileage. And it is also hard to quantify--what about that Tesla crash where it had been warning the driver to take over and he never did? He had plenty of time to do so, but never took over. Computer realized it couldn't handle it, and did exactly what it was supposed to do. Is that an autopilot crash or a human crash?

 

All I know is that I've seen autopilot in use in heavy traffic, and I've seen my MIL drive in heavy traffic. I'll take the Tesla autopilot every time.

The woman who runs that blog is awesome. I first saw it when she trained it to name paint colors--in addition to all the problems it had with cookies, it had a problem of not knowing that the word green and the color we perceive as green were connected. So it would spit out an RGB value that we'd call green, but it would call it red or blue or whatever, because it just didn't know the difference.

Ultimately, my two favorite paint colors were Snowbonk and Turdly.

Even though everyone I have ever talked to about it in person doesn't seem so sure about self driving cars, people seem to get really agressive about it on the internet if you insinuate they are less than perfect for some reason.
