Actually this is false and probably have occurred more than what’s recorded. The guidebook is enough information (although if there’s an AI who can comprehend the nethack guidebook that’s far more impressive than being able to play nethack).

A sufficiently large GPT model could probably comprehend the guidebook, in some sense, assuming they manage to increase the input size enough to ... I guess, let it condense the guidebook to some kind of internal language and then make use of that and now I'm just speculating wildly. ^^;

If I had the GPUs, it would be an interesting thing to experiment with.

However, having comprehended the guidebook, it then needs to also comprehend the nethack terminal client. The pile of obstacles does not cease to grow.
