An AI couldnât beat humans at StarCraft, so it decided to cheat
www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/1004543/openai-gpt-cheat-starcraftIâm so sick of the humanising language used in these articles.
An LLM doesnât âdecide to cheatâ.
If you instruct a model to try everything, then inevitably, after n million iterations it will do something you didnât expect.
If you train a model to copy code bases and augment them, then when you instruct that model to develop a bot to do whatever thing, is it really that fucking surprising when it does exactly what it has been created for?

âOmg the digits of pi contain the binary digital code of an mp4 of me taking a shit this morning! Circles are seniientâ-ass language

But wouldnât that be amazing if THAT was the thing that proved pi contained the whole universe - I mean, the first thing they âunlockedâ. lol.
Disclaimer: I donât think pi contains the universe, just love to think about things like that occasionally for fun.

Technically it does as the infinite set contains all possible subsets, or whatever

as an infinte random string of values, the digits of pi will, sooner or later, contain any specific string of values.
i think it was Saganâs âContactâ where aliens sent a message to read the digits of pi from the x th place to the y th place, and that stretch could be read as instructions on how to build a machine to reply.

It is believed that pi is âabsolutely normalâ in the strict mathematical definition: that in any base numbering system, any finite sequence of digits appears as frequently as any other sequence of that length. If thatâs true, then yes, a particular binary string, including one that corresponds to a particular digital file (like a particular mp4 file), can be found in pi.
That said, it hasnât actually been proven that pi is normal. If itâs not normal, then the number can be infinitely non-repeating and still never hit that particular sequence of digits.
