Q: "... everything is okay but when I hit run I alaways obtain weird results..."

A: "Then don't hit the run button!!!"

(Nah, I did not actually say it, but really wanted to 😄 )

You joke, but that's a solution AI came up with.

It was designed to optimise code and it did so by deleting project files, because when there was no project, there were no errors...

I read that some early AI robot vacuums learned that it could score higher if it bumped into stuff, knocked stuff over and cleaned up what fell.

If you reward teams of programmer for the number of bugs they fix, the start making lots of (easy to fix) bugs.

There was a youtube video by SciShow, listing several of these AI shenenigans.

The list includes:

- a spider model tasked with walking with the least contact to the ground with it's feet (the spider flipped over and walked on elbows)

- industrial robot tasked with grabbing a cube, with it's gripper disabled (robot slammed the cube so it clipped inside the gripper)

and several more.

This poster is studying for a doctorate in energy?  HMMMN.. I wonder, perhaps the experiment starts by triggering a thermonuclear reaction?   

Seams like the US doesn't have to worry about that country becoming a military threat.  (A potential humanitarian aid sinkhole, but oh, well. Maybe the EU, or other 3rd world economies will chip in )

Just ran into this one, not about LabVIEW:

Lock Mouse (microsoft.com)

Spoiler

OP:

Hey there, does anyone know how to lock the mouse in the current position?

A:

Step one: Take a pair of scissors.

Step two: Cut the wire that comes out of your mouse and runs into the computer

Done.

OP:

OK you begged for this story, Jim.

Way, way long ago........

I was on the island of Hainan (if you look at a map of China the right way,  it's the chicken's foot)  I was installing and commissioning a weather radar for a new airport..

several things were imprinted about that trip.

• Round was a concept, not a specification for wheels
• Prayer was a integral part of riding in a moving vehicle. 
• The crate we shipped (via "slow boat" to minimize g forces) <yeah the nice lady laughed we we sent it on a slow boat to China> made a nice housing unit for a family of 5
• Alexander didn't get anywhere near there!

Oh yes, X=5 was not solvable to them <it's all Greek to me >  I had the largest crain on the island! And 6 inches to place it in to hoist the 22 foot radome 90 feet!  ( after they dug the axels out of the trench for the ground ring, Avagaodro was Greek too)
