Amidrazone

Amidrazones are a class of chemical compounds formally derived from carboxylic acids. Amidrazones can exists in two tautomeric forms: hydrazide imides (RC(=NH)NHNH2) and amide hydrazones (RC(NH2)=NNH2).[1]

Uses

Some amidrazones have been employed as insecticides. They were known in 1993 by an agent of Dow Chemical for their low undesirable toxicity, low production cost, and effectiveness against insects resistant to known insecticides. Compounds of amidrazones were employed as early as 1993 for controlling plant-destructive insects in crops of cultivated plants, ornamentals, and forestry.[2][3]

gollark: I think if we do get general intelligence it'll probably work on some higher level then "feed in a set of expected responses and inputs and evolve a network to better predict these", which I think is how current neural network things mostly work.
gollark: This is a neural network thing, then?
gollark: Are you asking:- how close we are to it- what it actually means- whether people would want itor something else?
gollark: What exactly do you mean?
gollark: You should point out that it's your opinion and that people can go around *not liking things*, then go away.
