Some site feedback, not that I really know what you're talking about here at all, but I use middle mouse click and drag to scroll the page and found that doing that over the top of an image would open the image in a new tab without scrolling. I am not sure if this is something that should be fixed, but I am just reporting it here in case it is. :)

In relation to pac-man's sound (not the siren but the sound he makes when he eats pills) I ran into that when creating my own synthesiser controlled by an xbox controller. I had two sine waves with their pitches doubling every x seconds, controlled by the two thumbsticks. (up would increase and down would decrease their pitches independently). Anyway I found if I held both of the thumbsticks upwards the sine waves would get so high they would overflow the speakers and then keep looping that overflow faster and faster, and it actually sounded like pac-man eating the pills. And thats when I realised it might actually be true, he really might be eating pills and getting that high.

Last time I saw a dentist he told me I had about 4 cavities starting to form and that he could fix them that day. I asked how long it would be until they start hurting if I don't get them fixed now. He told me about 6 months. I said I'll wait for that. Its been 5 years and I haven't seen a dentist since. I am not going to worry about it and don't plan on seeing a dentist at all.

I found that saying two digit numbers like 82, 63, 45 etc was more random... maybe throw a couple double digits being the same in there like 77.

seems more like "this priorisies AGI"

What is AGI to you though?

Yeah it would just be easier and faster to have a Yes/No selection for each word and you just say whether you know the definition or not. That way you can blaze through all 100. Having keyboard shortcuts for each selection would help.

what if it seems ai has literally replaced your thinking? Is there a way to unreplace it? im talking literally.

Do they ever make AIs that are super rediculously expensive to run but get really good scores on tests, and aren't for consumers? Like drag racing for AI?

0.0043, but to be honest, I could probably do better if I changed my monitor's settings. But I have it setup with low brightness for night time lights off viewing that won't wake me up.

Maybe we can nuke a handful of countries and try to go for just a light nuclear winter to get everything cooled down again.

Are you suggesting the voxel grid is attached to the camera, or that the camera moves through the grid?

I like the idea of evolving agents from scratch with no "learning", they just evolve their ability to survive in the environment. Maybe one day it'll be advanced enough to see life evolve.

How does the narrative story generator work?

I played around a bit with NEAT networks, and tried to create a bitcoin trading bot, but the best I could do was a +10% gain over many months. I was hoping for at least 30% each month. Oh well, I guess it doesn't all just depend on past price history.

I thought it would be longer than 30 days.
