To add to my comment above: If the game doesn't know the current state, how does it compute the outcome of the next move? Does it replay from scratch again? (Obviously not.) How do they develop it? The developers must have to save and

I think the issue is less winning and losing, and more feeling and seeming real. Game AI opponents do absurd things that break the immersion; suddenly, you realize you're just playing a dumb game on a machine. I suspect LLMs might be a

Why is saving the state hard for them? So many games and other software save their state .... Imagine Excel 'replaying' the spreadsheet to return to the latest state.

For me too, but we can manage keys, firewalls, routing, IP addresses, etc. The issue is a solution for the vast public of end users who can't do those things. Anyway, the vendor could offer the proxy as an optional service, and let you

The answer is to make sharing secure, easy, and with informed consent. The answer is not to impose IP addresses, NAT routing, keys, etc. so that only technical people can give their consent.

That's why I suggest the output would be a prioritized list of documents for the researchers to review; the LLM doesn't get the final say, it just makes recommendations. Yes, things would be missed, but the resesarchers might in t

I hate to say it, but might LLMs transform archival work? Not by replacing researchers, but by inputting everything (or orders of magnitude more than we could previously) and outputting to the researcher a prioritized list of documents &#x2

I didn't say to replace all text with video, but to use the best tool for the job. Sometimes an image, a graphic, an animation or loop, or a video communicate much better. Right now they seem mostly stuck in what they did on paper.

Who lent them the money? Did the government of Venezuela have good credit? It's the creditor's fault as much as - or in this case, arguably more than - the debtor's. The same applies to some business and personal debt: Someti
