Interesting that it worked in China and not here. I'd like to read about the difference rather than a bland apology.

- eganist 11y agoIf I had to venture a hunch, it likely has something to do with a difference in culture.
- Quinner 11y agoAlso the whole government control and censorship of the internet thing.
- Nutmog 11y agoThat wouldn't be an issue for just offending people, but only if it became political. Don't forget the US also has government control and censorship - try posting child porn on Twitter and see if the government leaves you alone.
- wodenokoto 11y agoI think the Chinese likes an Internet prank just as much as anybody else and are just as capable at using social networks to organize one.
- bliti 11y agoI meant technical differences of implementation.
- kolme 11y agoAlmost only Chinese people speak Chinese. However, many people speak English (I come from Spain, for example), so in this case you can hardly pin it on a single culture. I think in this case it has to do more with 4chan's culture than a regional culture.
- BWStearns 11y agoI kind of read the "... but it worked in China soooo...." bit of the announcement as somewhere behind a kind of sad sigh and an angry scowl. Maybe Mandela got it wrong, maybe a society should be judged by how it treats its chatbots?
- TheOtherHobbes 11y agoThat's what happens when networks get social.
- pdenya 11y ago> Unfortunately, in the first 24 hours of coming online, a coordinated attack by a subset of people exploited a vulnerability in Tay. I think it just didn't get a coordinated attack like this. I'd guess this type of attack needs to happen close to launch to be a high percentage of it's interactions to influence it so strongly.

- rasz_pl 11y agodick jokes resulting in concentra^^^Reeducation camp might have something to do with it.
- cpeterso 11y agoIt sounded like XiaoIce was a chatbot hosting individualized conversations, so it wouldn't be a platform for rebroadcasting bad stuff.
- twoSeats 11y agoWhere exactly is "here" though? Twitter is global remember? Anyone in the world, including Zambia where I am could have interacted with Tay. That's a very different proposition to "China".
