5:48 Lately almost every “are you a robot” quiz I’ve gotten had been for either crosswalks or stop signs, I didn’t even think about it until I watched this!

[@piknick3011]

So coool wutt

[@aurias42]

The problem is, you can still get it wrong. So what happens if you get it wrong? Does it even matter? The point of these is to check that you're human, but if it always accepts what you give it, then that isn't achieved. However, if it already knows which ones are correct, then it also isn't learning anything. So what's the deal?

[@greatestbear]

@@aurias42 The same test is given to a lot of people. It's looking for consensus among the human test takers. If you click mostly tiles that the other humans have also clicked, it figures you're human. If you click random tiles, it says you are a robot. It it's unsure, or if the image is too new to know what humans typically do, it gives you multiple images before rendering a verdict. You've probably seen that happen. Each time another human takes the test for a given image, it gets more and more confident in which tiles are, say, crosswalks, and which are not. Once it's confident enough, that image goes out of circulation as is used to train self-driving cars and a new one cycles in.

[@aurias42]

@@greatestbear interesting

[@yjk92]

@@greatestbear The test measures things like how your cursor moves and etc so it can tell you're human regardless of your test score. If you intentionally pick random pics, I'm sure the algorithm will consider you a human but disregard your answers.

[@TierZoo]

So machine learning is just mutation+natural selection on an absolutely enormous scale, then! Watching this reminded me of how bacteria gain resistance to a drug.

[@TiredRandon4742]

TierZoo where does the mutuation part of the analogy come from?

[@TierZoo]

He says each bot is different. "At first, the builder bot connects the wires in the bots' brains almost at random". This is analogous to mutation. As the tests go on, the good bots are optimized by creating and testing slight permutations of the most successful ones. Just like a mutation.

[@I3asher]

The good bots adapt to the new test environment while the bad ones get "naturally selected".

[@Horny_Fruit_Flies]

TierZoo Oh, hello there. I would say that biological evolution is also on an enormous (in fact, global) scale, but the evolution of bots is accelerated extremely due to the computing power of machines, and since there are no interruptions in the proccess like slow breeding and development. And the selection of bots is much more intense. I think Earth would be left barren if less than 0.01% of organisms survived long enough to breed.

[@neilemminger8628]

I think... In order for this to work, they'd have to be testing a large number of people simultaneously, then assuming that the average was correct? Meaning, the way to get around these "are you human" tests is to have a million bots surge across the internet. The first time any bot sees a picture, it picks a random answer and then saves both the picture and the answer to a shared database. Then, when any bot comes across the same picture, it gives the same answer. Or, I guess, they could have bad bots (or cheap foreign labor) pre-selecting "correct" answers, then using the internet to refine those answers.

[@reterbid6215]

"Cruising on down main street!"

[@ceruchi2084]

​@@neilemminger8628 I think the way it works is, a couple of the photos are known stop signs (from earlier tests or by developer input) and then they throw in a few pictures they're not sure about. If you get the first two right, they know you're a human, and so they trust your answer on the last one. But then I'm sure it's averaged out after thousands of trials, since some real humans are like half blind and probably fail these Captchas.

[@ianglazko3256]

@@neilemminger8628 This used to be how captchas worked back when it showed you two words. One was pre-generated as the actual test, the other was a scan from a book or something that was being digitized. If you got the test word correct, it would take your other one regardless of how correct it was. Once it had enough people in agreement, it would confirm that the scan was of whatever word people were saying it was. Of course, 4-chan found this out somehow and did what they do, to incorrectly insert a number of slurs into these digital versions of books.

[@gnramires]

A note: the method of training bots here does work, and is used in many cases, particularly when you're training bots say to play games, for which the test is somewhat expensive to make. For bots that do say classification, a somewhat different method is used, that's called "gradient descent". It's similar to the evolution (random change and test) shown here with a specific insight: if you make a small change, and the bot improves, then it stands to reason you should do more of that change, or do that change multiple times. Gradient descent tests the kinds of changes that improve the bots, and then does more of the change that works best (it can also be understood as the 'direction of most improvement', which is by definition the gradient, hence "gradient descent"). This extra insight makes improvement significantly faster.

Hopefully more people will come to understand that the cutting edge of AI isn't about telling bots how to solve problems, it's about telling bots how to LEARN to solve problems, with the solutions that the bots come up with possibly being completely beyond what a human is capable of understanding or imagining. Sure, maybe you could take apart your AI bot afterwards to figure out how it solved the problem - but there's never going to be enough manpower to track in a reasonable time what all these bots are doing.

There is nothing inherently wrong with teaching it. I'm not religious but I studied all Abrahamic religions in school. Teaching what creationism is just a valid as teaching capitalism, communism, math or biology. It expands the mind and understanding, especially when creationism is something that exists in our culture and environment, the fact you don't like it doesn't make it go away. Now teaching it is an alternative, unquestionable, without critique or as absolute truth then we start having issues.

[@cuterpooter]

The entire video was, as usual, entertaining and informative. The last 60 secs or so slayed me though.

[@ArticBlueFox96]

This is human designed evolution. The builder bot is keeping a record of the traits and patterns (the genetic traits pool), then the teacher bot creates a situation (the environment) to narrow down which traits and patterns work and therefore survive (selection - though not by nature), then the builder bot introduces new traits and patterns (random mutation) on top of the surviving patterns to go through another generation of selection.

[@karlzone2]

Well, yes, because he basically described a genetic algorithm (though in a really convoluted way).

[@CharmQuark509]

It's interesting to think of this "build, test, slaughter, repeat" process as simulated evolution. Random mutations eventually prove useful and survive natural (or in this case, artificial) selection, better adapting the species (program) to its task, whether that be survival or telling bees from 3's. We're basically killing nature at the moment (unfortunately, as we depend on that nature for our continued survival).... Maybe the bots will one day kill us

[@terezip2213]

It's very likely that the specific algorithm grey is talking about here is the "genetic algorithms" genre of neural network teaching there are other types of neural network teaching which is more akin to crinkling a piece of paper veeeeery specifically, throwing a ball at it, and seeing the lowest point the ball falls to, tweaking the crinkling of the paper to get the ball as low as possible
