Fair enough. I forgot the name of this ruleset, but there's a very simple D20-based game ruleset which is designed for beginners but IMHO is more fun even for everyone, as it focuses on creativity and storytelling! The rules are very

That’s a very good argument but unfortunately it doesn’t apply to machine intelligences which are not sentient (don’t feel qualia). Any non-sentient superintelligence has “no skin in the game” and nothing to lose, for the purposes of your

I don't know this field very well so I might be misunderstanding, but I think this is different than "infinite tape" in Turing Machines. As I understand it, the proof of universality for Rule 110 required that the program co
