iiuc, GP’s point is that these models, in their current form, can’t guarantee confidence in their ability to reason about a scenario exhaustively. “Give it time” and other dismissals are beside the point. The point seems to be that these mo

In the subset of competitive video games known as fighting games, like Street Fighter, there is a slang term for a very similar tactic, called an “option select”[0]. Put simply: you’re maximising the expected value of your decision, by expa
