It's a fun story, but we should remember machine learning is not magic. It's not going to produce a Basilisk, and we are not helpless marionettes manipulated by advertizement agencies and social media. And if somebody was gaming your political system via Facebook and Twitter, then maybe your system is not resilient enough and has to change.
OTOH, I really wonder what would happen if you tried to train an adversarial neural network to produce pictures that make somebody angry, or horny, or to provoke some other very primitive reaction. I guess it doesn't work or people would be doing it already.

- captainmuon 6y agoYeah that is what I was referring to. Pretty chilling story.
- apsec112 6y agoMuZero is a basilisk from the perspective of Go players.
- sushisource 6y agoGo isn't the same as the human mind, though. That said, I think you could argue it's just a matter of time until we have enough power to do such things. But, you could also argue that such manipulation may simply not be possible, brains perhaps are not deterministic machines.
- EE84M3i 6y agoCould you explain this more? It's a basilisk how?
- svara 6y ago> OTOH, I really wonder what would happen if you tried to train an adversarial neural network to produce pictures that make somebody angry, or horny, or to provoke some other very primitive reaction. That is, quite literally, the entertainment industry. I'm only half joking, I think the analogy works pretty well. You've you the same actor/critic dynamic that forces ever further refinement and innovation.
