      Honestly, it’s fucking relatable. A place I worked used to round the time clock to the nearest quarter hour so I would dick around a minute or two so it rolled up instead of down.

        A friend of mine has their large corporate company telling everyone they have to show up to one of their offices on at least two days each week. Now a few people just walk there at 2355, clock out at 0005, and spend the rest of the week at home.

        Silly conditions -> silly behaviors

        The place I work at now rounds by quarter hours so if you punch in early at 8:53 it’s the same pay as punching in late at 9:07. Guess who has never been early to punch in but has been late quite a few…

    lmao that’s great.

    One time I asked GLM to run a test on a piece of code, and it wrote a python script that printed “Test Successful!” to the terminal but didn’t actually do anything. These things are so incredibly bad at times.

      In some ways yes, but this effect would appear with any kind of reinforcement learning whether it’s neural networks or just fuzzy logic. The goal is to promote certain behaviors and if it performs the behaviors that you promoted then the method works.

      The problem is that, just like with KPI:s, promoting specific indicators too hard leads to suboptimal results.
