Demoscene videos are pretty fun and criminally under viewed. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRQwR4-_0PR9HBI_GZs1nTn7q5LTkGeCN https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRQwR4-_0PR9HBI_GZs1n... I wish there was a channel like retro game mechanics that break them down with good visuals.

When we solve AGI, I'd love to see demoscene for intelligence. How much could you compress it? From there, how small can you make a world of mutually intelligent agents? Edit: all these downvoters - don't you dream? There are so many crazy and fantastical things that await.

    Another[1] relevant short-story! Also, I don't think MMAcevedo qualifies as an AGI, he/it is rather a VBI (Virtual Brain Image). [1] https://www.fortressofdoors.com/four-magic-words/ https://www.fortressofdoors.com/four-magic-words/

      True, but it heightens the moral horror of the situation- but really, the morality of treating an AGI like that is arguably the same, or at least similar.

    Holy cow, thank you! I read this once, a year or two back, and have been trying to find it again but without luck. What a cool text.

  Nostalgia Nerd's video on .kkrieger [1], produced with a help from original developers, would be a good start. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD1wWY1YD-M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD1wWY1YD-M

Watching YouTube videos of demos feels like cheating but happy they exist as I'm a bit more reluctant to download & run random exes than I was 20 years ago! Before the videos were available you had to wait quite a bit whilst it unpacked and processed before you were either dazzled or disappointed. We used to watch quite a lot of demos as part of our chill out sessions as they were the perfect accompaniment to our mental state.
