This may be off topic, but I dislike Wired's new approach to adBlockers. I use Privacy Badger as my only adBlocker because I am fine with viewing adds if they don't track me. Wired's approach just means I refresh the page, select all the text and copy it into my text editor. Which is a shame because if they would just display non-tracking ads I would happily view them. The way things are going now if they ever make circumventing their restrictions to burdensome, I may stop reading their articles, but I will not allow their ads to track me.
when I think about AI, I'm always reminded about glitches. For example, finding a weird behavior that can be exploited in a video game to beat a boss easily. It's one principle difference between playing other people and the cpu: humans are able to evolve their strategies, experiment, etc.<p>For the AI to really be the best, it must sometimes lose because it's trying a new strategy and experimenting. It also must be robust and find the error of its way easily -- in other words, know quickly that it's being gamed.<p>AI must be able to reprogram itself, or it's only a matter of time before a winning strategy comes out against it. If it can't reprogram itself and evolve without humans is it really AI?
I think the only ones that are "sad" are those who saw Go very philosophically, like if it was more then just a game with set rules that can be computed.
