Who programmed the AI to be a sore loser? 😳

[WIRED @WIRED]

A chess-playing robot at the Moscow Chess Open last week grabbed the finger of its 7-year old opponent and broke it. Bystanders helped the 7-year-old boy free his hand and take him away from the table, and he continued competing after his finger was placed in a cast.

I’m proud to finally being able to share what so many people from across the world managed to fulfil, with major implications across backgrounds & countries. It's been a joy to work with so many talented researchers and I'm thrilled to share our results!

@NicolaSambuco Wow! But also, so many additional questions..

Why is higher emotional reactions AND consistant right-handedness important at the same time?

And how on earth do you screen out mental disorders with a "physical evaluation"?

[Thomas Lind Andersen @Lindandersen]

I'm very proud of the team and to once more be part of such a great endeavour!

We decided to make a large-scale replication of a seminal study and theory for behavioural science and economics. Massive credit to @kairuggeri, @Sjnjerak, my colleagues at the @jResearchProg, and all of our collaborators!

This new study by @kairuggeri et al reports the results of a multi-national replication study of Kahneman & Tversky’s 1979 “Prospect Theory: An analysis of decision under risk.” Results suggest the original findings do replicate in contemporary settings. https://t.co/rpZg2D6G7B

Det eneste hurtigere end spredningen af #Covid_19 er mediernes meningshopperi - jeg har svært ved at finde ud af, om de enkeltvis mener at regeringen og myndighederne ikke tager situationen alvorligt nok eller massivt overreagerer! #dkpol

"You're out of free articles for this month" - I know February is a shorter month, but being only two days into it, I see were this is going..

I have to confirm the entire humanity for a silly little newletter? I'm not sure, I want to do this.. #gettingoutofhand

A decade on Twitter averaging less than a tweet a year. The way the #2010s have gone, I’m sure I won’t have any reason at all to make more comments in #2020 and the decade to follow!! #endofyearsarcasm #HappyNewYear

I bet it's *hard* to operationalise "best and brightest" while the political culture screams "insular nationalism".

Fascinating to see the traction a few social media personalities and their communities can give a good cause ❤️🌲 10M trees in 5 days without the mainstream! Here's for 10M more: https://t.co/ivxJpkt1wG #TeamTrees

Lukningen af 24syv er symptomatisk: Når noget endelig fungerer, som er finansieret med offentlige midler, skal det partout disruptes. Når nogen dyrker magtkritikken og satiren, skal de være stille. Når nogen har brugt år på at opbygge viden og erfaring, skal de omstruktureres.

..men jeg kan ikke lade være med at tænke, at vi generelt i stedet for har brug for at overveje, hvad det er for en kultur, vi beder både børnene og os selv indgå i, og hvilken retning den kultur går mod.

Det er ganske fint med børneperspektivet i hele miseren omkring redigerede skolefotos, og da også ganske muntert med alle jokesene og de nostalgiske billeder..

Det er svært at finde en bedre grund end denne til at få gang i sin Twitter igen! #zulucs

[Thomas Lind Andersen @Lindandersen]

Turns out it wasn't too difficult getting the old account back. Not sure if it was the copious amounts of evidence of hacking and/or just a matter of the time passed by since then, but it is certainly a good experience with the Twitter team. Next step: Starting from scratch!
