It’s an interesting contrast that you claim that the USA does not equate to its current political situation, whereas conversely the EU is ‘rotting’ from the inside. Do you think th…

Maybe. I would contend that wealth accumulation over the long term is a function of the strength of local institutions e.g educational, judiciary etc. This is effectively the thesi…

Right, the purpose of a system is what it does.

Aren’t Unicode characters generally treated as 2 tokens to avoid a huge vocabulary?

Nobody human considers a corporation to be a person. It is merely a legal expedient.

He also believed in the immortal soul that survives after death, so he may have had a more literal meaning.

Most of the functions that LLMs perform aren’t bijective, though. What prompt constructs the output ‘The answer is 3’ or ‘Yes that’s a great idea’?

Thinking ‘God I wish these people would die’ could increase its propensity to kill all people, even if that propensity is still vanishingly small almost all of the time. A lot of p…

An EMP from a high altitude nuclear detonation would do the trick.

Nah, its all pattern matching. This is how automated theorem provers like Isabelle are built, applying operations to lemmas/expressions to reach proofs.

I am really keen on plugging into Age of Empires 2 - although practically I think we need a couple of years of improvements before LLMs would be smart/fast enough to react to the g…

Thank you!

Biters are disabled, but cliffs are not

This is our earlier work. Since May we've made it really easy for the community to build their own agents to play the game: you can now hook up your terminal to get Claude Code to …

We're excited to release v0.3.0 of the Factorio Learning Environment (FLE), an open-source environment for evaluating AI agents on long-horizon planning, spatial reasoning, and aut…

"Spem in Alium" is the most beautiful piece of music in existence for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iT-ZAAi4UQQ At 40 distinct melodies, it is certainly the 'grandest' piece …

The onus is on you to present evidence to justify your claim. Without actual data beyond anecdotes, your claim can and should be dismissed.

1. These are additions to our existing Factorio Learning Environment, which is an extensive agent environment for evaluating pre-trained LLM agents in an unbounded/open-ended setti…

Hey everyone, It's Mart, Neel and Jack from the Factorio Learning Environment team. Since our initial release, we have been working hard to expand the environment to support multi-…

Cool! Looks a lot like Tanuki: https://github.com/Tanuki/tanuki.py

This specific approach relied on: a) availability of multiplayer servers, and b) a remotely accessible console. I know Minecraft works in the same way - but I’m not sure about RPGs…

If I understand you correctly, this approach is sort of supported in FLE - the agents can create functions that encapsulate more complex logic. However, interaction is still synchr…

The idea is for us to track all frontier models using the basic agent (goal, tooling info), and then offer another leaderboard for different agent architectures (with retrieval etc…

Oh super interesting! Create 10 scenarios containing working factories, and ‘drop out’ entities to break the factory in different ways. great idea.
