Terminator Lite? Go change your underwear and read this.

Oh, for God's sake, users of Facebook and Linkedin and Twitter: Terminator Lite didn't just get shut down. Now, go change your underwear and get a grip.



Facebook wanted to get this artificial intelligence program to talk to humans. They failed to tell the program that's what they wanted. The program followed all the other parameters and became extremely efficient in the handling of customer service issues, but human language was inefficient for the program and, in accordance with built-in ability to do so, began communicating in shorthand code, or what is has been called a new language.

This is not a new thing. Programmers have known of this ability to create new language for ages and ages. Anyway, Facebook shut down the program until they could rejigger the parameters and start the experiment up again. 

But the Internet melted down with headlines about SkyNet and the Terminator and O. M. Fricki' G., the end of mankind being averted by Facebook pulling the plug. Yay, Facebook, for saving mankind. Here's a thumbs up for you:  


However, here's the bigger part of this story that everybody is missing.


Have you asked yourself why Facebook is trying to make an artificial intelligence program that can talk to humans? 

I will tell you why.


Because Facebook, one of if not the biggest Politically Correct Liberal Left Wing Socialist-agenda-supporting companies on the planet, is trying to find out how to outsource Customer Service to robots and away from the very humans they claim to love so much. 

Those would include the humans in India and Indonesia and all those other not-quite-first-world and some-definite-third-world countries where they are already earning pitiful amounts of money.

Ain't that a kick in the pants. 

But hey, who are we to call Facebook hypocrites?
