The very brief return of Tay on Twitter, the controversial artificial intelligence Microsoft

Tay, a chatbot program created by Microsoft to chat with teens on social networks, has committed several blunders.

Launched Wednesday, March 23, Tay presented as a teen girl, was taken offline in a hurry after a few hours online as a result of multiple abuses. Manipulated by users, she had come to hold hateful conversation. This lead Microsoft to silence her the time require to improve her common sense abilities.

But less than a week later, to everyone's surprise, Tay reappeared on Twitter
"Yay, Tay is back! Let's see if we can avoid turning it into Hater this time. "Wednesday, March 30, artificial intelligence designed by Microsoft to chat and interact with teens on Twitter has surprised and delighted users by making a comeback. And it was still not a success. Tay still hardly misbehaving with some insane NSFW tweets. Nothing like the other bots such the popular asian chatbot, Siri, Cortana, Assist to name just a few of them.

The program tweets at the speed of light (about 100,000 tweets published in 8 hours of operation), sent hundreds of tweets like: "You're going too fast, relax ...". It is also sent to itself.

For her second appearance Tay was again taken offline within an hour after her return, and her tweets, some of her insane tweets have been deleted, or made now private.

Like other big names of contemporary music such as Boulez or Stockhausen, Luigi Nono the composer of Prometeo is a major representative of the School of Darmstadt. His work is very edgy and politically oriented.

Serena Wins 20th Grand Slam Title

TEAM SERENA!

 The world No.1 overcame nine double-faults and a mid-match meltdown to defeat Safarova 6-3 6-7 (2-7) 6-2 this morning to earn her third title in Paris after also reigning in 2002 and 2013.

The fighting win lifted Williams above 1920s legend Helen Wills-Moody into outright third place on the women's all-time grand slam leaderboard.

Only Australian Margaret Smith Court, with 24 slams, and Steffi Graf (22) remain ahead of Williams, who could conceivably match the German's open-era record haul by the end of the year...

Henri Matisse The Cut-Outs

This is a cool exhibition you may want to pass this around to all people who would be happy to be there. Wait to see the paintings, you will want too. Matisse exhibition at Tate Modern in London, UK is held from 17 April – 7 September 2014. Time running now since April. This is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see this landmark exhibition which brings together around 120 works from the period in which Matisse began ‘cutting into colour’. Below is a quote to remember:

"I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things." Henri Matisse

Matisse stopped painting by 1950 in favor of his paper cutouts. "The Sorrows of the King" is a collage using cut out paper shapes by Henri Matisse from 1952. It was made from paper he had coloured with gouache paint and is mounted on canvas. Its size is 292 x 386 cm. It is his final self-portrait. The Sorrows of the King , now at Pompidou Centre, Paris, is an example of Matisse's final body of works known as the cutouts.
