And for example, solving 1-1 Starcraft problems wouldn't be a problem that people have never considered. And can't be put to practical use. So you wouldn't do it? I'm genuinely curious, what makes a difference and motivates to engage into research, rather than playing challenging games.
- c0deb0t 7y agoWell, I used to play a lot of competitive FPS games because I found it fun. I have also done competitive programming problems for fun/accolades. But after doing more practical research, I realized it felt better to do impactful stuff (especially getting recognized). Also, research is nice because I perform terrible at short events (games, contests) under pressure. I think that if I tried something else before research that met the same criteria I probably wouldn't have done research.
