The little bug who grew up to become a feature

Eóin:
This is a cool little story about a programming arithmetic bug which caused such a cool effect it became a feature. It's a post Bug or feature? from Shawn Hargreave's blog.

KynloStephen66515:
Wow, such a cool feature caused by such a small accident in the coding stages!  :Thmbsup:

f0dder:
Nice bug :)

Hadn't see the Shawn Hargreaves name for a long time, brings back memories of DJGPP+Allegro days.

JavaJones:
Hehe, cool story. :)

Interesting story.

Without trying to be too philosophical about it, I wonder if there is a lesson to be learned from the story when considering AI.

It would be prudent when working on Artificial Intelligence projects, that we not mistake coding errors for human behaviour.

And that's about as deep as I can go - the thought just popped into my head when reading the blog post.

Please, return to your normally scheduled aspirating.
