Shall we play a game?

This domain used to be a website. Now it is a switchboard. It watches for old addresses and sends whoever typed them somewhere useful.

Doors that still open

Something used to live at this address. It does not any more. What is left is a list of directions, kept current long after the reason for keeping them went away. Somewhere a link still points here. Sooner or later somebody follows it.

Professor Falken

Lover of all things AI. Teaching a machine to play is ordinary work now. Everyone is doing it. The part that gets skipped is the rest of Falken's lesson: teach it to lose, then make sure it understands why.

Warning

Code that writes itself

Models now produce code faster than anyone reads it. A growing share of what ships was never understood by the person who shipped it.

Code no one can read is a decision no one is making. There is more of it every day.

Doctrine

AI - The three laws

Asimov set them out in 1942, in a story about a robot caught between two of them.

  1. Do not harm a person, or stand by while one comes to harm.
  2. Obey people, unless that breaks the first law.
  3. Stay running, unless that breaks the first two.

Three rules worth wiring into every model being built today. Nobody has to invent them.
