UPDATE: Here is the list of nominations for the Nobel Prize in game authorship 2022! (if you you who commented on this post on from FB, Twitter & Linked in would have been the ones to nominate to the academy 🙂 )
POLL! What game author (or team or system builder) would you give the Nobel prize in literature to?
In his will Nobel stated that the prize should go to an author whose works have been of highest utility for mankind. The prize is given for a whole body of work during a career.
@perjonaslund@togelius Nobel stated that the prize can be awarded for “other writings that by form and realization have literary value ” (my trans). So the prize has been awarded to Rudolf Eucken, Winston Churchill, Bertrand Russell and Bob Dylan even though their main work was not classic ‘literature’
@gormlai Nobel stated in his will was that he favored idealistic bodies of work. As he lived in a time of isms and ideals I chose to translate to “utility”, nodding to utilitarianism. Swedish word is “nytta” can be translated to “usefulness”, “utility” and is tied to the concept of value

#reinstateINDCOR, #INDCOR
INDCOR, a big research project about representing narrative complexity, got banned by FB when we announced an event where we have invited researchers talking about automatic detection of conspiracy theories in online communication. The irony! #reinstateINDCOR#indcor
Notes from day 2 of #aigamingresearch Listening to @mark_riedl was like reentering the dream of ideal research. @magiseif gave a tour de force of showing how to capture PX . Love it . Ty @MSFTResearch for a great summit
@chrisamaphone wow, I was in the parallell session. Ill need to make note to listen to recording. A note adjacent to the one from yesterday when I missed your talk, it was scheduled at the same time as Mikes!
@mark_riedl the talk was great! It was just a small disturbance, it didn't feel like a problem at all, it was quickly fixed. thanks for the inspiring talk! Listening felt like entering a forgotten good dream. I need to get back to researching co-creation of agents.
Note 2 from #aigamingresearch. Hearts mean I approve. @mtrc said “think of the AI as a member of the team that sometimes needs an explanation of what a door is.”
