Nice video, but the jump from solving super simple 2d games, by feedback of binary win/lose conditions, to solving tasks in 3d open world simulations will require an un-imaginably gigantic leap in processing and knowledge. Additionally

It's a bit like 3D TV though; that didn't fully succeed or really fail, so it has limped on and people still buy them today.

I thought this was a good summarization of the whole problem, why you should be worried, and what you can do about it. Shame it got marked as [dupe] and taken off the front page by the time I'd read it.

As a gamedev who uses matrices all the time, I don't find this animation useful at all for practical work. Instead I think of matrix multiplication as creating a list of ordered operations (scale x translate x rotate etc) which is just

Actually in the UK votes are counted manually by people in big halls under watch by accredited observers. No voting machine in the process at all.

Why do Americans use voting machines exactly? I mean, it just prints out their choice at the end right? What benefit do they actually gain from having pressed buttons instead of using a pen? It just seems to fuel the hacking conspiracy ever

An expert system doesn't actually make decisions; the programmers made the decisions and then hard coded them in. Something along the lines of 'if (wind_pressure > 0 && rain_density < 0.5) do_something() else etc&#x2

Well we know the brain is incredibly advanced, as evolution has had a lot of time to work on it. It could be that to make something conscious just requires a very complex physical procedure or set of interconnected components. Once humans b

Sure I've meditated for over 4 years now, and find the easiest time to do is when you lie down to sleep. If you think of your mind like a flipbook, and every thought is a page on the book, when you begin it can feel like you are flippi

AI is terrible in games because it's literally such a hard problem. Thinking like a human, working in a group, overcoming obstacles and reacting to dynamic behaviour from the human player. This is far harder that Go which has 100x simp
