I'm not here to judge but this seems ghoulish

yyyyeah i will bet we'll be seeing a lot more of that in the all too near future.

It may surprise some, but despite being able to perform more actions per minute than a human player, the bots still have sub-par micro-management. Bots have faster individual unit control which allows them to use hit-and-run techniques [dealing damage then moving out of harm’s way], but deciding where/when/how to attack/retreat is still a problem.

"It may surprise some"

CHECK YOUR APM PRIVILEGE FAST PEOPLE
A BOT KNOWS YOUR NAME

i predict that deepmind will be able to defeat me in a best of 3 series of Starcraft II matches by the end of the calendar year

perhaps even by later today

can't wait for the first bot to accuse humans of "hacks"

I am a horrible artist, especially with a mouse, and I feel like I'm untraining this neural net

i would guess that would probably be more helpful for its training, as compared to someone who was super lifelike

ok it asked me to draw a circle and I just drew a square. take that!

Tempted to start doing nothing but speed dobbers for all my drawings. EVERYTHING'S A PENIS.

imagine a world where we communicate with nothing but penis drawings but somehow the computers know exactly what we're talking about

the lost verses of lennon

it asked me to draw a dresser and then a bottlecap. Among the multiple guesses it made (all wrong), "phone" showed up for both drawings.

i try to work in a dick and still have it recognize the drawing

whoops, it turns out there was more to it than the drawing thing. here are the others:

the drum machine one is fun, although less obviously AI

There was a documentary on the current state of AI that tied in with the start of UK Channel 4's Humans. So about a month ago.
Not sure how accurate or exactly up to date a tv show tie in would be. But it was interesting.

I was just about to come here and post about that. Thought the documentary was fascinating. Really brilliant and actually scarier than the show itself.

let's hope that AI still has some way to go on that one, fuck

can't wait for those sweet bluetooth le bertillon instruments to hit kickstarter

In Silicon Valley, hacker George Hotz gained fast fame after being the first to unlock an iPhone. He recently capitalized on his reputation and turned to hacking cars, raising millions in funding to build a third-party device that would give average, everyday cars autonomous functionality. He called this device the Comma One and the company making it Comma.ai.

But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) sent Hotz a letter in October asking him to detail how the product works, as well as how the safety features built into the Comma One work, or face an ever-growing fine. Hotz abruptly canceled the product, tweeting, “The comma one is cancelled. comma.ai will be exploring other products and markets.” Then on Tuesday night this week, Hotz started tweeting hints that the Comma One could be revived, at least partially. He also posted a video of what appeared to be a Comma One-type device driving on the 280 highway.

On Wednesday morning, Hotz held a press conference in a San Francisco home to announce that instead of reviving the Comma One as a market-ready device, Comma.ai would be giving away its self-driving software—called Open Pilot—as well as plans for compatible hardware, called Comma Neo—for free, according to The Verge.

...The instructions clarify that Open Pilot currently only supports the Acura ILX 2016 with AcuraWatch Plus and the Honda Civic 2016 Touring Edition, although apparently a little tinkering will expand support to other Hondas and Acuras. With the Acura ILX, the software relies on cruise control for gas, so the system can only be enabled above 25mph. With the Honda Civic, Open Pilot disables steering below 18mph, “due to limitations in steering firmware.” Still, Comma.ai asserts that “adding other manufacturers besides Honda/Acura is doable but will be more of an undertaking."

countdown to first open pilot fatality begins... NOW

what's the worst that could happen

a self-driving car that can't drop below 25mph or it'll revert to manual control sounds like a terrible pitch for speed 3

steering firmware

'patch notes 0.57: problem with car only capable turning left resolved. now only turns right. working to resolve the issue but please plan your journeys accordingly in the meantime'

Should be illegal to turn left anyway

uh the UK hello

modulo what side of the street you drive on, I'm not a total monster

Love the girl in the background of that tweet above who takes the perfectly-timed "That ain't none of my business" drink of tea.

🐸☕️

good catch. I wonder if she told them how that was going to go down beforehand

That dude's reaction after Miyazaki drops that bomb on him is 100% priceless.

Also, that Christmas song is now my new favorite thing.

she's likely from Miyazaki's team? but yeah, his response is so punishing and they look like their hero just told them to fuck off, which he did.
I hear what he's saying though! they're telling him "we're trying to build you in a lab" and his response is "fuck off", which seems about right.

miyazaki thing is amazing wow

also huge lols at the AI zombies grotesquely dragging their limbs and moving around in their demo

ouch
