AI learns how to play Super Mario World

[wonder]

A program called "MarI/0" teaches itself to play the SNES classic Super Mario World. Better that than learning mankind's weaknesses so it can take over the world.

i saw it in Vsauce, quite scary as Susu says, the IA was tested against Tetris, after a few rounds and teaching, when the IA knew (understood?, had a rational thought about the consecuences of his actions?) that it was going to lose, it paused the game.

the logic behind that action was, "the best way not to lose, is by no playing"

Holy cow... that was some serious thougth...
