What ever happened to the OpenAI/universe GTA sandbox? Is there any reason Rockstar shouldn’t support research using their game?

For some reason they really didn't like GTA being seen as a research platform and C&D'd projects.

Perhaps because it could lead eventually to the most undetectable cheats yet and undermine their Skinner box cash extractors.

Great job, love it. Do commercial solutions use simulations and stuff? Sounds like a great way to bootstrap is to use some of these more realistic games to get some initial work. By the way, I found this part funny: > ...if it doesn’t make sense to you think about it and try to understand it. We had a teacher once who'd say "If you don't understand, try to understand". Haha!

Yes

Here's a random news article on it

And to me this is the essence of hacking and hacker culture, not “how do I create MVP from my idea and become an entrepreneur” or “this and that in company XYZ” mindset. So glad to see people doing silly things that in fact require skill. This is why I come to hackernews. Keep up great work with this wonderful attitude!

Not sure why you need to put down entrepreneurs while praising this kid. Hacking a company together is really hard. Like tech hacking, it requires intelligence, creativity, and persistence. There's no reason we can't read about and respect both on this site.

The concern is in the appropriation of the term 'hacker'.

He's not putting anything or anyone down, he's saying that this is hacking, and MBA posts of acronym soup aren't.

I think his implied conclusion is probably wrong-ish (both are arguably right for HN, even if I vastly prefer this), but he's right in that this is hacking.

Interesting the idea that the original plan was that your votes count for more if you vote for the right kind of stories. Would seem to create an echo chamber effect where what’s already popular stays popular and new stuff doesn’t.

It's impossible to say without trying it, and we never did. (Edit: actually I remember a conversation with pg where he said he did experiment with it, but dropped it. I don't remember why though. Maybe I'll ask.) You could make the opposite argument: the "right kind of stories" includes being unpredictable ( https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... ), so up-weighting votes from users who are go…

I'm up-flagging the up-flag idea.

I mean. Can you imagine the shit storm that ensues if someone use GTA for autonomous training data and caused deaths IRL. I don’t even want to think about that news headlines.

Howdy, I came here from http://discord.comma.ai . littlemtman, what related source code is available? How about more details and the code for connecting to the XBox controller interface, is it open?

I'm not sure what OP used, but definitely look into FreePIE.

Comma.ai which is used in the demo is a for-profit company that makes a sellable product.

Yes the comma two https://comma.ai/shop/products/comma-two-devkit . If you have a newer Honda, Toyota etc. you can try it in real life ! Won't be working on your Aviato car, I am sorry :)

But please don't try it on a real road. Find a spot where it can't endanger fellows. It's possible to find those places.
