   What a heartbreaking waste of talent. Trust takes a lifetime to build. But can be demolished in an instant. I think what happens is more funding comes from the private sector. It's just where the money and momentum are. MIT feels more

   I love perusing GW's National Security Archive! And this doc, a declassified "study" from the peak of the Cold War, is the reason why. History from primary source material. The most infamous file from the same period is Herbe

   This is what makes OpenGOAL and video game archeology so mission critical. It isn't just preservation of digital culture. I think there are real insights to be gained. Next step is to make a cookbook of classical Game AI techniques (mo
