Isn't that what happened here?
- thih9 2y agoThat’s what I’m saying. I.e. that “programmers accidentally wrote a language that could treat real world abstract art as valid input” - and to me it’s more interesting than what grand-grandparent is describing.
- drdeca 2y agoNot just valid, but does a not-nonsense task. I think in this case, there is a coincidence on both sides? Like, the language or the painting could have been different such that the painting would run, but what it would do wouldn't be a recognizable task.
- satvikpendem 2y agoWas it an accident though? Seems like they were targeting the same style of art so of course some would become valid input
