>I am reminded of this video podcast from Emily Bender and Alex Hannah at DAIR - the Distributed AI Research Institute - where they discuss Galactica. It was the same kind of thing, with Yan LeCunn and facebook talking about how great their new AI system is and how useful it will be to researchers, only it produced lies and nonsense abound.

Strange that they would name it "Galactica". The battlestar Galactica ship famously didn't even have networked computer systems, much less AI, since they had already seen what happens when computers become too intelligent. Pretty soon, they develop a new religion and try to nuke their creators out of existence.
