An AI couldn’t beat humans at StarCraft, so it decided to cheat

I’m so sick of the humanising language used in these articles.

An LLM doesn’t “decide to cheat”.

If you instruct a model to try everything, then inevitably, after n million iterations it will do something you didn’t expect.

If you train a model to copy code bases and augment them, then when you instruct that model to develop a bot to do whatever thing, is it really that fucking surprising when it does exactly what it has been created for?

“Omg the digits of pi contain the binary digital code of an mp4 of me taking a shit this morning! Circles are seniient”-ass language

But wouldn’t that be amazing if THAT was the thing that proved pi contained the whole universe - I mean, the first thing they “unlocked”. lol.

Disclaimer: I don’t think pi contains the universe, just love to think about things like that occasionally for fun.
