Notable moments
  • On Thursday 5 November 2015 Down appointed Eamon Burns as new football manager.[3]
gollark: Which is, I guess, consistent with human levels of consistency on these issues.
gollark: But it says "it's good" to "maximising paperclips".
gollark: You would say "turning the planet into paperclips" and it would say "it's bad" and such.
gollark: There was actually one AI research organisation recently which made a language model try to capture human common sense ethics.
gollark: You train a neural network on samples of good things, and it outputs new good things for you to do.
