Interesting that it worked in China and not here. I'd like to read about the difference rather than a bland apology.
If I had to venture a hunch, it likely has something to do with a difference in culture.

It was something like, "Hey Tay, do you think Ted Cruz is the Zodiac killer?" Tay: "No, I don't think Ted Cruz would be satisfied with killing only 5 innocent people." So there's a lot baked into that response, the bot seems 'to know' the details of the zodiac killer case(I don't know if 5 people is accurate,) and that people regard Cruz as sinister, i.e. "I don't think he'd be satisfied with only 5" So this is eithe…

I'm just hearing about this Ted Cruz Zodiac killer thing, these internet people are something else...

> Many of her tweets were pretty inflammatory What, were people forced to print the tweets out on sandpaper and wipe their asses with them? It's pretty fucked up that thought policing has gotten so entrenched into our psyche that it's "obvious" an experiment should be discontinued, apologized for, and be pondered as a priori irresponsible , all because it generated vulgar phrases! Corporations have always been vulner…
Standing behind the open and casual use of racial slurs isn't advocacy of freedom of speech. It's advocacy of a specific kind of hate speech that is only used when someone intends to vilify and direct hostility towards a marginalized minority.

Not sure which tweet you're referring to as the 'Ted Cruz Zodiac killer one', but there is a meme going around where people assert that Ted Cruz is or might be the zodiac killer; it's a weird thing. I think it gained a lot of momentum when Public Policy Polling determined that 38% of Floridians believe it could be possible.

This reads like science fiction: Learning from Somebot's introduction. Last week we deployed Somebot to $location. Our confidence in Somebot was high because we had thought about all likely scenarios in our comfortable offices. We are deeply sorry and assume the full responsibility from Somebot's actions. Moving forward we will make sure to include safeguards to reduce the amount of pain caused by Somebot's deploymen…
Learning from ED-209's introduction. Last week we tested ED-209 at our corporate headquarters. Our confidence in ED-209 was high because we had thought about all likely scenarios in our comfortable offices. We are deeply sorry and assume the full responsibility from ED-209's actions. Moving forward we will make sure to include safeguards to reduce the amount of pain caused by ED-209's deployment. Our deepest condolen…

> One thing I think many people are missing about the most 'inflammatory' tweets is that they are all pretty much the result of people giving it a command like, hey tay, repeat this [insert inflammatory remark.] This is indicated with the inflammatory tweets starting with an @ reply. Hang on. You had to tweet the bot to make it say anything, and it would reply to you. So the presence of an @ reply means nothing - you…
Ok, I'm no expert on this, like I said the whole thing blew up so quickly. I know they weren't all verbatim repeats, but I'm also pretty sure I saw tweets from tay without an @ symbol. Another thing to consider is that since the Tay timeline was scrubbed, there is no authoritative source of what the bot actually tweeted, so any images floating around could pretty clearly be doctored. But regardless, it's nice that ev…

"We will remain steadfast in our efforts toward contributing to an Internet that represents the best, not the worst, of humanity." But doesn't the full human experience include both the best and the worst?
Yes, but so what? Are you saying they should pledge to support expression of the best and the worst of the humanity?
Everyone here is referring to the "politically correct discourse, America, 2016" definition of those words.
