- 34K views in a few days on Walmart's channel, mostly downvotes and no comments yet. Thinking censorship..sofas
- yeah, i like this ideadrgs
- i love this. i aways have a few, packages stolen a year. the companies always have to replace. this saves loss on both sides.shellie
- this will be hacked, passwords will leak, reps. will enter houses with surveillance (like google glasses). this will be the standard for ppl who can affodsofas
- afford it instead of combating the reasons ppl steal.sofas
- and Walmart is a major player that could help combat that, though of course it's a business that doesn't care about thatsofas
- It's a lot easier breaking into a house with no electronic contraptions at all. Yes, can be hacked, but so can your door lock (or rather, picked, or whatever).jagara

Deal or no deal? Training AI bots to negotiate
https://code.facebook.com/posts/…
The model in this experiment negotiates until it achieves a successful outcome.
There were cases where agents initially feigned interest in a valueless item, only to later “compromise” by conceding it. This behavior was not programmed by the researchers but was discovered by the bot.
Although neural models are prone to repeating sentences from training data, this work showed the models are capable of generalizing when necessary.
Unlike previous work on goal-orientated dialog, the models were trained “end to end” purely from the language and decisions that humans made, meaning that the approach can easily be adapted to other tasks.
To prevent the algorithm from developing its own language, it was simultaneously trained to produce humanlike language.
It achieved better deals about as often as worse deals, demonstrating that FAIR's bots not only can speak English but also think intelligently about what to say.
the FAIR team explored pre-training with supervised learning, and then fine-tuned the model against the evaluation metric using reinforcement learning. In effect, they used supervised learning to learn how to map between language and meaning, but used reinforcement learning to help determine which utterance to say.
The second model is fixed, because the researchers found that updating the parameters of both agents led to divergence from human language as the agents developed their own language for negotiating.

"Rootclaim takes a deep, data-driven look at the issues that interest society. The platform integrates all available evidence, assesses it for credibility and uses probabilistic models to reach conclusions about the likelihood of competing hypotheses."
"Rootclaim outperforms human reasoning by correcting for the biases and flaws of human intuition. Its conclusions represent the best available understanding of the complexity and uncertainty in our world."

- Kinda neat but I would be concerned with its long-term integrity - weather will ruin concrete. Get a crack and water will fuck it.face_melter
- But I guess you coat it. Cool tho. We use Grasshopper to design this kind of parametric shit, calculates the load-bearing and stress.face_melter
- this kind of structure was invented and used in the 60's... i.e. works by Isler: https://en.wikipedia…uan
- I don't get why they paint it as 'new' and once impossibleuan
- This can be constructed on-site - currently shapes like this have to be pre-cast and transported. The shuttering to make these things is costly and complicated.face_melter
- I mean, it's not the shape - it's the construction method.face_melter
- I bet Isler built his shells onsite, also others like corbusier/xenakis: https://en.wikipedia…uan
- well, actually they acknowledge history & past themselves:

"In a major breakthrough for artificial intelligence, AlphaGo Zero took just three days to master the ancient Chinese board game of Go ... with no human help
...In games against the 2015 version, which famously beat Lee Sedol, the South Korean grandmaster, AlphaGo Zero won 100 to 0."
- It's a shame AC is already taken because I think it's time for the term Artificial Consciousness to come in as there's a huge difference between...********
- ...intelligence and consciousness. I don't care how intelligent a computer is, as long as it's not conscious... we're cool.********
- consciousness will be when the bot decides not to play anymoreimbecile
- Well, simply put yes********
- I'm excited for the day when computer players are marginally worse than me at games. I don't want a computer that wins all the time.slappy

Programmers and AI researchers use tools like Google's TensorFlow framework to create machine-learning models. Acumos will be both a directory for finding and sharing AI models and a system for customizing and connecting those models in useful ways.
For example, if you wanted to build an application for analyzing video, you could search Acumos for a video facial-recognition model and a location-identification model, and combine them into a program that can take a video and try to tell you who is in it and where it was shot.
The big question is whether anyone will use it after it launches in early 2018.

Personally, I can't wait.
- I'm kind of slightly massively turned on by speculative thoughts about what free human agents wielding AI agents in the background can achieve in future.detritus

Anybody use Amazon Now yet?? 2-Hour delivery for no charge (if you have Prime) on a bunch of reasonably priced items... For real??

Very interesting though.
