        https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/07/new-experiments-reveal-that-ai-are-still-terrible-at-naming-paint-colors/

        Several weeks ago, artist and coder Janelle Shane tried to train a neural network to name paint colors. The results were...not good. "Stanky Bean" was a kind of dull pink, and "Stoner Blue" was gray. Then there were the three shades of brown known as "Dope," "Burble Simp," and "Turdly."

            https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/07/11/g20_calls_for_lawful_and_nonarbitrary_access_to_available_information_to_fight_terror/

            From the conference:

            We will work with the private sector, in particular communication service providers and administrators of relevant applications, to fight exploitation of the internet and social media for terrorist purposes such as propaganda, funding and planning of terrorist acts, inciting terrorism, radicalizing and recruiting to commit acts of terrorism, while fully respecting human rights ...

            In line with the expectations of our peoples we also encourage collaboration with industry to provide lawful and non-arbitrary access to available information where access is necessary for the protection of national security against terrorist threats. We affirm that the rule of law applies online as well as it does offline.

                  The ultimate is social engineering (hacking) is when the government redefines the language to hide attacks on their citizens.
