Just don't plug it into the internet! 
The whole things sounds like bs to me, though. If they were really inventing their own language then why not study it and try to understand it? |
It is BS though the inventing a language no human understands part isn't.
It was a controlled experiment on having AI's negotiate the best deal they could. They managed to pretend they had an interest in something they didn't and then throw that item in as if it was something important to close the deal.
The experiment met it's parameters and was shut down at it's natural end. By which, the AI's were communicating with one another in a manner that wasn't decipherable.
It wasn't shut down because of that. But I thought the story made for an irresistible thread.
