Episode 0b10000 Our AI Isn’t Weird Enough Yet

Published: Jan. 24, 2020, 4:28 a.m.

Michael and Stephanie discuss a Ted Talk by Janelle Shane that talks about the weird ways AI and algorithms try to solve problems, especially when given vague controls. Janelle actually wrote a book about this, and has a website. Michael just purchased the book, and will update in the future. The programming language for kids Stephanie mentioned is called Scratch, and it looks pretty interesting.  Please reach out on Twitter or by email with your favorite AI generated Ice Cream flavor name, or just say hello or suggest an episode.
