    It was 100% Elmo

    Whoever did it had an investor’s level knowledge of what AI is and what it can do. He doesn’t know that at that level it will just always do what it says. He thinks there’s something even deeper than what he was messing with, some mystical “algorithm” that uses what he edited as a guide.

    There’s not, that was the base code of what is essentially a chatbot.

      I have a real chafe on my buzz about the (albeit disparaging) shortening of shit4brains name to a beloved Sesame Street character.

      I feel like Elmo gave us, and in turn deserves - much better.

        Same! I prefer Me-lon or Meelon. Or fElon or Muskrat (nothing against actual muskrats of course) or Space Karen…
