Here's a neural net-generated joke:
Why did the chicken cross the road? To screw in a light bulb.
How many engineers does it take to change a light bulb?
A star an alligator and because they are bees.
Why was six afraid of seven?
Because he doesn't have a birthday?
What's black and white and red all over?
They have the shovel!
What's brown and sticky?
A potato, on the space.
Why did the scarecrow get an award?
Because they have the one cheese.
Why do seagulls fly over the sea?
Because they know ..............
Why should you never trust an atom?
It doesn't scroom.

"in fact this occurrence, far from illustrating some kind of malign intelligence inherent to AI, simply reveals a problem with computers that has existed since they were invented: they do exactly what you tell them to do."

@fioraesoterica summarized it very well:
Researchers were tipped off when the algorithm not only did suspiciously well at converting maps to satellite images, but was able to reproduce features like trees & cars that weren't in the maps at all. The original map, left; the street map generated from the original, center; and the aerial map generated only from the street map. Note the presence of dots on both aerial maps not represented on the street map.

I trained a neural network on 1,228 types of cookies and apparently these are what cookies sound like to it.

okay so i had a try at training the neural net on the cookie recipes themselves.

This list by @vkrakovna (and the paper that supplied a bunch of them) is one of my favorite things about machine learning. I'm collecting another unofficial list of unpublished examples.
Like this one by @_joelsimon, who evolved new floorplans for an elementary school. It produced a cavelike warren of bubble-rooms because nobody had told it to do straight walls or windows. joelsimon.net/evo_floorplans… Left: Optimized for minimizing traffic flow bewteen classes and material usage. Right: Also optimized for minimizing fire escape paths.
And this ongoing thread by @sterlingcrispin whose robot dogs have learned to tap-dance, flop on the ground, do pushups, and even hack the simulation physics to glide - basically, anything but walk.

Two Jews walk into a bar.

They discuss their current complicity in white supremacy and decide to amplify more women and POC.

*audience laughs*
Why did the chicken cross the road?

To join a campus protest against Ben Shapiro.

*applause*
How many women does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Just one. Because women are just as qualified as men but get paid less and are treated like second class citizens. Also she has an abortion because it's her choice.

*standing ovation*

.#AugustaGA "euthanized" an alligator in Lake Olmstead wfxg.com/story/38792486… Many people were bothered by this story, including myself. Only after watching a @pbs @PBSNature episode on people & lions in #Gujarat #India was I able to articulate why this seemingly trivial
event actually points to the larger issue of whether we humans are going to adapt to this planet or whether we are going to continue to act as if our choices have no consequences until this planet changes & boots us out. #IndiasWanderingLions pbs.org/video/nature-i… Rather than
change our behavior which resulted in an alligator inhabiting this lake or take measures to limit the risk it would cause harm, we humans killed it to eliminate the minor risk it posed. We again positioned ourselves *outside* of the biosphere, even though our lives would be

Wow, Brexit is such a farce it looks like even the Leave voting MPs are putting together a night of standup comedy about how shit it all is...
;)
“We’ve got a great Stand Up For Brexit set for you tonight folks. But first... An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a bar... well, not actually the Irishman - he had some problems at the border... and actually the bar had to close with the recession and that...”
“... here’s another... what song does the Leave campaign play for music on hold on their donations hotline? Putin’ on the Ritz!
Now onto our main acts. Here’s my favourite comedian and yours, put your hands together, and then check your wallet, yes it’s Liam Fox!”

Here's a thread: generative artificial intelligence has made breathtaking gains in the last four years. For instance, these are images of imaginary bedrooms and imaginary album covers created by a neural network.

Reza Zarrab watchers: We're less than an hour away from Day 2 of testimony. On Weds., we heard of a "45 to 50 million" bribe to Turkey's economic minister and "a few billion" in complex bank transactions. Day 1 recap here, & some thoughts/updates to follow courthousenews.com/turkish-gold-t…
* ex-economic minister - I ran out of room in the tweet for additional context, even with 280 characters. Lots of revelations.

Good morning, babies. In a few minutes I'll be starting my *definitive* thread on Mr. David S. Pumpkins, of the Haunted Elevator sketch.
I'm going to do a rewatch before I dive in. You can watch with me here.
