A buried line in a new Facebook report about chatbots’ conversations with one another offers a remarkable glimpse at the future of language.

In the report, researchers at the Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research lab describe using machine learning to train their “dialog agents” to negotiate. (And it turns out bots are actually quite good at dealmaking.) At one point, the researchers write, they had to tweak one of their models because otherwise the bot-to-bot conversation “led to divergence from human language as the agents developed their own language for negotiating.” They had to use what’s called a fixed supervised model instead.

In other words, the model that allowed two bots to have a conversation—and use machine learning to constantly iterate strategies for that conversation along the way—led to those bots communicating in their own non-human language. If this doesn’t fill you with a sense of wonder and awe about the future of machines and humanity then, I don’t know, go watch Blade Runner or something.

...Or there was a glitch in the programming that caused the computers to spew a string of gibberish. But it was probably the computers coming to life thing.

So, they have no earthly idea what the two bots were talking about?

We're fricking doomed.

They were planning the attack. It's just like my grandparents and parents speaking French when I was growing up and there was something they didn't want me to know.

We've had so many AI takeover threads recently . The end is coming.

I've wondered in recent years if it would be possible for AI (or some sort of App) that could produce music based on the songs input into it.

For example, if all of the songs from the Abbey Road album were input, could AI (or whatever) produce a new song of similar quality?

I always have a hard time wrapping my head around the notion that a machine could ever actually acquire a will to exist, and better yet, to replicate/reproduce.

a very simple way to think of it is with a lower-level organism like a virus

then think about computer viruses that do "replicate/reproduce"

i think flipping that and asking why we have those concepts is the better/bigger question. evolution hard-wired lots of these concepts into us. is it possible that a non-organic form of intelligence could/would follow that path?

Suspiciously what an ally of the machines would say...
