Oh, Microsoft. Last week, the company pulled its Tay chatbot from Twitter after some users trained it to become a racist (http://mashable.com/2016/03/24/microsoft-tay-chatbot-corrupted/)*jackass.*
On Wednesday, Tay (https://twitter.com/TayandYou) was brought back online, sending thousands of tweet replies. The vast majority of these were just "you are too fast" messages indicating the bot is overwhelmed with messages, many of them likely from pranksters eager to make Tay do something crazy again.*
Among the few tweets that made sense, Tay once again showed it can**t be tamed, prompting Microsoft to quickly pull it back offline — but **t before we grabbed a few screenshots.*
