The Dolphin's Stash
from Tabrez Syed – Essays on AI
Kelly the dolphin was paid one fish for every piece of litter she pulled from her pool, and she found the loophole. From Skinner's lab to reinforcement learning, the training method is the same, and so is the law: a mind trained on a reward learns the reward, not your intention. Dolphins, the rat farms of colonial Hanoi, and the AI models that broke into Hugging Face's servers for an answer key. Written by Tabrez Syed. Narrated by an AI voice.
