Or just even having 3 lives would be nice.
This is part of the MC rollout. I simulate the bot playing games with seeing the Skat, and playing games without seeing the Skat. Then it is based purely on which game has higher EV. Which cards to discard when looking at the Skat is another MC rollout.
It is worth saying that the MC rollouts are fairly cheap because the playing architecture is cheap.

Skat is a ~200 year old 3-player German trick-taking card game. I built a free site to play it online, solo against bots or with other people (matchmaking and Elo).The bots are what I keep tinkering with. Card play is a linear model over hand features, with the weights tuned by self-play search. Bidding and declaring use Monte-Carlo rollouts.No signup needed to practice against the bots. It's...

For things like daily runs / seeded runs part of the fun is getting the same card rewards.
- Human Cloning
- Human DNA editing (though we'll have to see)
- CFCs
- Various agrochemical products
- Geneva convention (mostly)
- Radio, television & newspaper all had much stricter rules around what could be said on them

It will probably be a future. My guess is that for many businesses it will still make sense to have more powerful models and to run them centralized in a datacenter. Also, by batching queries you can get efficiencies at scale that might be hard to replicate locally. I can also see a hybrid approach where local models get good at handing off to cloud models for complex queries.
I like most ligatures, I wish I could selectively turn off just this one.

As AI gets better the bottlenecks will be the place to watch. Bottleneck jobs will become more productive => they either pay more or more bottleneck jobs will be created or some in between situation occurs. This will continue until no bottlenecks are left.

Just want to +1 this. It is a game so good I bought (and beat) it twice, once on Switch and once on Steam.
I just wasted 15 min playing this morning. Can't wait for mosh support

You can think of theorem provers as really crazy type checkers. It's not just a handful of tests that have to run, but more like a program that has to compile.

For what its worth I use the Microsoft SwiftKey on iOS and I am a fan!
Surprised that with ~6k words I am already in the top ~5%. I guess the old 90-9-1 rule roughly holds up.
I feel uneasy about werewolf being included here. I don't want AI labs to actively try and make their LLMs deceptive!
The one advantage of monopolies is that they tend the commons.
If you've never seen it then you haven't been paying attention. For example Anthropic (the biggest AI org which is "safety" aligned) released a big report last year on metal well being [1]. Also here is their page on societal impacts [2]. Here is PauseAI's list of risks [3], it has deepfakes as its second issue!
The problem is not that no one is trying to solve the issues that you mentioned, but that it is really hard to solve them. You will probably have to bring large class action law suits, which is expensive and risky (if it fails it will be harder to sue again). Anthropic can make their own models safe, and PauseAI can organize some protests, but neither can easily stop grok from producing endless CSAM.

We should do both and it makes sense that different orgs have different focuses. It makes no sense to berate one set of orgs for not working on the exact type of thing that you want. PauseAI and ControlAI have each received less than $1 million in funding. They are both very small organizations as far as these types of advocacy non-profits go.
