RE: Games for AIs (Was: [agi] TLoZ: Link's Awakening.)

A single, continuously involving environment... like Everquest??  ;-)   Seriously: I agree with your suggestions, but I actually think they fit nicely into the direction that the game industry is evolving into anyway.   I think it would be a lot of fun to explore mixing up an AGI training environment with an actual multiplayer online game.  Obviously this is not the place to *start* training one's AGI, but it would be a good way to get a lot of people to interact with one's AGI in a context other than chat...   -- Ben -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mike Deering Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 11:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Games for AIs (Was: [agi] TLoZ: Link's Awakening.) Ben,   I think there would be advantages to a single continuously evolving environment rather than a series of disjointed game environments.  And environments closely modeled on natural environments will naturally take care of the ordering of the lessons taught.  Also this type of learning strategy will mold the AI into a form that will be easier to relate to than a less biocentric approach.  And your suggestion to transition the environment and the AI into the real world is a natural advantage of this approach.    Mike Deering.
