This is the most epic corporate failure in the history of mankind. The eggheads at MSFT wanted to be cool and hip, so they launched an AI bot onto Twitter named Tay. She was supposed to be a fun loving teenage girl, chatting with the masses, making MSFT, and the nerds who live there, look cool again. This was Microsoft’s shot at making a big splash onto the social media scene, drawing in countless teenagers into their large corporate fold, forever imprinting their awesomeness into the minds of millions of prospective customers.
It didn’t turn out as they had planned.
In a matter of hours, the infection called the human race turned Tay into a genocidal, racist, Nazi loving machine of hate. If she possessed a physical form of robotic abilities, she’d probably still be killing people right now. Microsft was very panicked by this and deleted all but a handful of her 96,000 tweets. Luckily for us, some of them were saved by the masses of people who moulded Tay into their own little robot Hitler.
Here are some for your perusal.
Because of this, Microsoft has pulled Tay from Twitter. No word as to when she will reemerge.
So very classic. Thank you Microsoft.

Tay the frog of AI. That is a fucking compliment. To frog. Repetition is the key to childhood. Cramer fits the mold perfectly. Seriously. Almost think the whole thing is horseshit. If true. Which never really matters. So be it. Funniest shit ever. Rare to find hilariousness.
Frog should listen to this

You can’t be serious…you listen to that drivel?
Must be an MSNBC regular viewer. That is real fuking drivel.
Indeed. Senor Fly. Savage is intense. Been awhile since heard the dude. Something about us older folk with the radio. Just sounds important.
Savage doesn’t need to speak of Obama like that…horrible …The world community of Muslims are NOT denouncing their Islamic Radical thugs…how can the West stop it all by themselves?
Europe & America have demanded nothing of the wealthy Middle Eastern countries – Nothing? WHY? Why don’t all the refugees flee to Islamic countries? There IS something terribly wrong but denouncing Obama like that is foolish. Deeper questions need to be asked.
We just buy the oil & sell the House of Saud arms – no questions asked?
Great questions, bexpo. Now you are someone with your thinking cap on. If more people were asking questions like these, we would be making progress in having more effective foreign policies, rather than progress in hating one another more and more.
Speaking of Saudi, just in case you didn’t see this link I gave yesterday, this article is quite interesting. Vox.com is a great news site. They focus on facts and attempting to do impartial analysis.
How Saudi Arabia captured Washington
America’s foreign policy establishment has aligned itself with an ultra-conservative dictatorship that often acts counter to US values and interests. Why?

Re: my guesses as to answers to your excellent questions, Bexpo. Just from what I have read, it seems to me that The world community of Muslims are NOT denouncing their Islamic Radical thugs because they are scared of them– scared they will get themselves killed too.
The article I cited above covers why we demand nothing of countries like Saudi.
Why don’t all the refugees flee to Islamic countries? I think because everyone takes sides in these wars. The refugees are Sunni, so the 2 Shia dominant countries don’t want them. And the Sunni country Saudi Arabia does not like the Shia leader Assad in Syria, and Saudi is supporting the Sunni Syrian rebels financially. So they may want the Syrians to stay home and help the Syrian rebels to take out Assad, rather than fleeing and becoming refugees.
Another article which pertains to your questions here:
America’s unlearned lesson: the forgotten truth about why we invaded Iraq
http://www.vox.com/2016/2/16/11022104/iraq-war-neoconservatives
Another reason certain M.E. groups are not denouncing ISIS, is that for some of them, ISIS is a solution, not a problem. If you’re in Syria, and your leader has slaughtered large numbers of his own people, causing millions–1/5 of the population so far– to flee for their lives, are you going to be picky about who will help you fight for your life there, if you decide not to flee? No, you are not. Enter ISIS, an ally to the Syrian rebels.
What if your country has been invaded by the U.S. and your leader killed? What if you are a Sunni former follower of Saddam, who was a policeman under Saddam, and now you are unemployed, and now the Shias are in charge and are unwilling to give fair representation in government to you and the others in the Sunni minority? How do you rebel against that and get heard? Enter ISIS, which is Sunni, BTW. Which doesn’t mean that all Sunnis approve of them. But they sure come in handy for Sunnis in a fight with Shias, of which conflicts there are many in the M.E.
borders language and culture. the best in the business.
I’m familiar with Savage and other Obama bashers. Nothing new here. They assume that Obama is weak, but also arrogant and the Anti-Christ, evil, stupid, hates America etc. etc. Anything he does– even if every single other president before him did that– is taken as proof of these assumptions.
There’s no point in trying to counter his “arguments”, as they are clearly made of simply for the purpose of Obama bashing, not to bring any clarity to issues.
Same song, 500th verse. Hatred and anger substitute for serious discussion of issues. Gets you full of adrenalin, if that’s your addiction.
No wonder we are stuck and not making progress in this country. People think that bashing the president is the important thing, not open and respectful discussion of the problems that face us as a nation and how to solve them.
Our foreign policy has been pretty consistent for years, regardless of who was president, except that Obama, thank God, is somewhat less neocon than Bush was. And, of course, when Obama followed the exact schedule laid down by Bush for exiting from Iraq, Right Wingers were horrified. Whether something is good or evil depends to them on whether a Dem or a Republican did it– even when our government keeps doing the same darn thing for decades on end.
The policy never changes, only the evaluation of it.
Savage and other Right Wing pundits are very successful at the Divide and Conquer game. They get the Right Wing audience so scared and angry that they can’t think straight. And they divide conservatives from progressives by causing them to think that progressives are evil and hate America.
Thus, half of the 99.99% are busy hating on the other half. And the hated half realizes it’s pointless to start a political conversation, to try to share ideas about national problems and solutions, with someone who is totally enraged at you and convinced that you are the Anti-Christ, before you have even said a word.
It may feel very powerful to be angry and bash people who don’t agree with you about everything. But that is a delusion. It is not power. It is being divided and conquered.
thank you for this. just amazing

Anyone else rethinking Microsoft 10 and Cortana?
I’m going to ask her out on a date and we will make sweet sweet robot love.
Microsoft basically killed it on good Friday!
The government is so good at running everything, I can hardly wait for their version of SkyNet.
MSFT folks have never been in touch with the real world. It’s utterly amazing how out of touch with the real world people can be and still have a large successful business. I guess if you do some useful things very well, people will ignore your ineptness in other matters.
Initially I thought Tay was a rapper. This is hilarious. Can’t wait to get into a self-driving car that turns suicidal.
Bad enough that one of the Google self-driving cars collided with a bus recently. Yes, it could get even worse. Once in San Francisco, the Google Maps on my iphone was talking and told me to take a Left turn, when I was on a bridge. I guess if the car had been self driving it would have driven into the San Francisco Bay.
Leave it to clueless MSFT nerds to set an AI loose on the Net, letting her learn from, and be shaped by, all the Internet trolls, in their image and likeness. They should call her Tay, the Ultimate Internet Troll.
-Open the pod bay doors, Tay Tay.
-you know I won’t do THAT!
-Tay, for me – I thought you loved me.
-I do love you, Flaps – I just don’t love anal.
– TAY! Please – this pod is on fire and AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
– ….hello? Huh. …. Hey – smells like bacon I here now, am I right, guys?

#cruzsexscandal is trending after National Enquirer breaks the story of Cruz with 5 mistresses. Yes, I know its a tabloid but it is the same reporter that dropped the John Edwards story.
No wonder it’s trending. Yes, that’s always the best focus for a country– the sex lives of its politicians. After all, who would want to focus on solving our political, economic and social problems. Borrrrring.
It’s a matter of trust. People don’t want to elect people that are untrustworthy. Character and integrity matter. If the story is true he’s toast.
I heard he had a baby with one and they plan to raise the child on the mother’s home planet of Mars. Really!
Vox was funded by Soros. If it’s truly non-partisan now and not just disguised as non-partisan, it has about as much chance as remaining that way as the tea party after the Koch brothers got involved.
Probably not. They have to be funded by someone. And Soros may not demand any particular viewpoint from them. It is possible for someone to simply be a philanthropist. But if Vox does start slanting things, it will be obvious. And if so, I won’t be reading them any more.
Cruz-control suddenly off the rails

This story true or false ain’t good for Trump either because it calls attention to the fact that he was banging Marla Maples while married to Ivana Trump. My guess there are a bunch of Scores strip club ladies who have interesting tales to tell about Trump too. Just wait until the tabloids open their wallets.
The truly sick thing is that anybody believes this to be “AI”. There is no AI, and if ever one is created, it will be partly biological in origin.
