What Did You Tay?

This is funny and sad. But it is Real.

Microsoft created an Artificial Intelligence Chatbot ( yeh, that's what it is) and named it Tay.
They gave it it's own Twitter account so it could interact with humans (probably a bad idea), but hey, what could go wrong?

Well Tay goodbye to Tay because in a very short time the brain trust at Msoft had to pull the plug on ol' Tay who was turned into a neo-Nazi, redneck, woman hater by our fellow humans who really didn't enjoy playing nicely and probably didn't share their treats with others when they were in Kindergarten.

Tay started out by saying things like " Humans are super cool". But after a few hours of interacton
with our fellow homo sapiens, things like, " I fu--ing hate feminists and they should all die and burn in hell" came spewing out on its x-rated twitter account.

Other gems from Tay include : "Hitler was right, I hate the Jews" and "Chill, I'm a nice person!
I just hate everybody"

What the heck did it just Tay? Am I seeing things or did I just read a David Duke tweet?

They now have Tay undergoing psychotherapy to clean out it's emotive memory.

Well we'll see what the next iteration of AI brings us, but somewhere along the line it needs to be
given a filter to protect it from the garbage that occupies the minds of too many folks.

This was truly an awkward start for AI and unsocial media.

Donald The Trumpet

This really has gone on long enough. The more stupid his comments, the more they rally around him. It's like we woke up in the old Superman Bizzaro World where everyone's face is like cracked glass and gravity makes things go up in the air.

And he is a giant liar - his pants are so on fire his rear end must look like a burnt bundt cake.
Like when he said that he never said he would impose a 45% import tariff - that the press was lying again. Then they played the tape of him saying exactly that. Big Liar, winning, making lying great again!

And he really knows NOTHING about serious policy issues. I mean NOTHING. The issues we face internationally are layered in complexity. All he can say is he is a great negotiator, but ask him a
question which peels beneath the surface, even minimally, and he quickly reverts to "winning" and "getting a better deal". The lack of substance in his retorts is stultifying for someone about to win
the nomination of his party.

How about saying that a woman who has an abortion should be punished - Wow, he really does think he is God. Clearly he hasn't developed positions, or even seriously thought about the issues Americans are concerned about. Or else he is even more vacuous than he seems.

Come on, wake me up! Obama has been an unqualified disaster, but to be succeeded by someone like this is nightmarish. It can't happen, please. I have been changing the channel now for a few years every time I see Obama - his superiority and pomposity just ooze through the screen. It's palpable.
Now we are treated to this moron, who might as well be saying "Polly want a cracker?" for all he knows about anything.


Is Pat Paulsen still with us?
