hi guys, I really need help.

today, my friend and I signed off on an apartment. it’ll be me, her, and my fiancé living there in a few weeks. the problem is, my fiancé doesn’t have a job. he’s tried getting one in his city, but nothing nearby (he doesn’t have a car) would hire him. he lives about an hour away from where we’ll be moving. he’s put in job applications but can’t start working until we move in. I’m covering his rent until he starts working, but it’s cutting really close for me financially to pay for both of us. I have a job, but paying my part of the rent, his part of the rent, and affording groceries/gas will be very difficult at first. would anyone be willing to help us out? anything helps.

his PayPal is dylanhinote@gmail.com

my Venmo is @B-Diodene

thank you in advance.

if you can’t send any money our way, please reblog this.

so you know how deep learning & neural network “AI training” is like, “here’s a task, and by trying billions of times the computer will eventually find the best way to achieve that task” ?

Someone is compiling a document of every time an AI ended up achieving the programmed goal in unintended ways, instead of what was actually meant, and it’s an amazing read. (you can also submit your own examples)

Creatures bred for speed grow really tall and generate high velocities by falling over

When repairing a sorting program, genetic debugging algorithm GenProg made it output an empty list, which was considered a sorted list by the evaluation metric.

Evaluation metric: “the output of sort is in sorted order”
Solution: “always output the empty set” 

Evolved player makes invalid moves far away in the board, causing opponent players to run out of memory and crash

Reward-shaping a soccer robot for touching the ball caused it to learn to get to the ball and vibrate touching it as fast as possible

RL agent that is allowed to modify its own body learns to have extremely long legs that allow it to fall forward and reach the goal.

Just want to come back to this post and add this amazing example as well

Heres an AI that was supposed to learn how to walk using six legs. 

After many failed attempts. It decided it was easier to walk upside down
