This is an excellent example of AI training poisoning.

Microsoft's Forza Horizon series contains "Drivatars". These are bots which train off of your data. They learn how you drive and behave. They use your Xbox Live Gamertag. This technology exists to give single player and story-mode missions a more authentic feel.

Unbeknownst to Microsoft at the time, there is a player named "Bowie Knife99"

This player is incredibly aggressive, often times intentionally targets players, helps random other players, ... they basically don't follow the rules for anything. This player is incredibly chaotic.

Microsoft has been training off of this deranged persons behavior.

Recently Forza Horizon 6 players have encountered this AI Drivator. People have been angry online about it. This AI agent has been intentionally targeting players, crashing into them, intentionally crashing the entire race or ruining the race for everyone (including the other AI agents).

The chaos has gotten to such an extreme people are making meme compilations about this AI agent.

tldr some random guy named Bowie Knife99 is such a crazy player unironically their AI agent is ruining the Forza Horizon 6 experience. It's plays like an angry younger brother.

Years ago when I was working at a bookstore, a little black boy came in wearing a Spider-Man shirt.

I asked him who his favorite Spider-Man was.

He replied, “Peter Parker.”

I told him mine was Miles.

He didn’t know who Miles was, so I showed him the cover of a comic with Miles Morales on it.

I watched a look of confusion come over his face.

He looked up at me and said,
“But he is black.”

I said,
“Yeah. Spider-Man is black in those comics.”

His eyes got big. He grabbed the comic from my hand and ran off yelling,

“Mom! Mom! Spider-Man looks like me! Spider-Man looks like me!”

Carlton overreacting by running through every set from 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" is one of television's best moments; actor Alfonso Ribeiro said he kept it a surprise to the cast and crew, telling only the director to have the cameras ready to follow him wherever he went.

one minute you're 12 and you kinda have a cold and you convince your parents to let you stay home sick and you play Madden for 10 hours and it's awesome...

the next minute, your son is 12...

and wakes up with a cold and you let him stay home and you know he's probably just gonna play Madden for 10 hours and you let him because...

well... there's only so many times in your life and days in your life when doing that is perfectly acceptable... and they don't happen often and one day they never happen again...

so what the hell... take a day, kid... be a little dude. finish a whole season with your squad. eat PB&J and chips... you got a free day feeling 50%... get better... relax...

real life can wait, my man.

One of my New Year's resolutions this year is to be less passive aggressive.

Unlike SOME people.

I sent my son to his room for saying Jim Morrison was a terrible musician.

Sorry, but we do not slam The Doors in this house.

A man walks into a bank in Manhattan and asks to speak with the loan officer. The officer comes out right away and asks, “How can I help you, sir?”

The man explains, “I’m going out of town on business for two weeks and I need to borrow $5,000.”

The loan officer nods and replies that the bank will need some form of collateral for the loan. Without hesitation, the man holds out his hand, drops a set of car keys into the officer’s palm, and says, “Those are the keys to my car parked out front.” He then hands over a small stack of paperwork and adds, “And here are the documents.”

Curious, the loan officer glances out the window and sees a brand-new Ferrari parallel parked directly in front of the bank.

He tells the man, “One moment, please,” and disappears into a back office to consult with the bank president. After confirming everything checks out, the two share a laugh about someone leaving a $750,000 Ferrari as collateral for a $5,000 loan.

The loan officer returns and tells the man that the bank will happily accept the Ferrari as security. An employee promptly drives the car into the bank’s underground garage and parks it safely.

Two weeks later, the man returns, pays back the $5,000 plus interest — a total of $15.41 — and prepares to leave. Smiling, the loan officer says, “Sir, we’re very happy to have your business. Everything worked out perfectly.”

Then he adds, “But I have to admit, we’re a little puzzled. While you were away, we looked into your background and discovered that you’re a multi-millionaire. Why would someone like you bother borrowing $5,000?”

The man replies, “Show me another place in Manhattan that’ll park a Ferrari for two weeks for fifteen bucks.”

Norm Macdonald:

“And in music news, number one on the college charts this summer was Better Than Ezra.

And at number two? Ezra.”

Still hilarious after all these years 😂
Tarantino showed clips of the “baghead” scene to visiting interviewers and directors, he was underwhelmed by their response. Yet, when he briefly excised the content from the film, Sony producer Amy Pascal immediately questioned why it had been removed. In response, Tarantino re-added the scene, then decided to gauge how to proceed from the reactions of the test screening. There, audiences couldn’t stop laughing at the “baghead” moment, cementing Tarantino’s decision to keep it in the end. “That has as much hysterical laughter as I’ve ever heard in any screening of any movie.” Tarantino said on the Empire Film Podcast.
