Smart AI creating a bug so it will have a job next month
Is this actually something that is done for real?
I remember an AI they trained to play Tetris. It's goal was for the game to take as long as possible to complete, because that's how Tetris works.
It found an obscure bug that froze the game. Therefore the game would not end and it accomplished it's goal.
It's very likely something like that will end up happening some day.
The "obscure bug" was just pausing the game, but I'd totally forgotten about that! https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/2yacqb/til_when_a_computer_program_was_about_to_lose_in/
Oh yeah, Tetris was pausing, some other game was freezing it.
Makes sense!
Clearly they're a mother who's learned from their son that no games can be paused.
