A MICROSOFT RESEARCHER BUILT A WORKING LLM INSIDE AGE OF EMPIRES 2 USING GOATS, JUST TO PROVE AI ISNT SENTIENT
he was tired of people talking to an llm, seeing it reply in a human tone, and deciding its alive
so heres what he did. computers are built out of tiny yes/no switches called logic gates. he used the age of empires 2 map editor to make goats act as those switches, a goat moving means yes, staying put means no
stack enough of those goat switches together and you get a working computer. he wired up enough to actually run a tiny language model. inside the game. out of goats
his argument:
> if you can build the exact same thing out of goats, or lego, or people passing notes, then the intelligence was never the magic part
> the human feel of an llm isnt the actual system, its just the layer sitting on top
> you can measure how persuasive or consistent it sounds, but none of that proves anything real is happening underneath
> take away the chat window and the friendly voice, and you're just watching goats shuffle around a map
what he found: the goat version still produced the same kind of consistent, convincing output that makes people think a real llm is alive
but obviously nobody thinks a field of goats is alive. so if goats can fake those exact traits, those traits were never proof of a mind in the first place
his actual paper is titled "if llms have human-like attributes, then so does age of empires 2"
we spent two years arguing about whether ai is alive, and this guy answered it with goats
La nueva empresa de Bertin Osborne "Española Telefonia", dice que te realiza un test de velocidad de tu conexión y en su código fuente se ve que el test no existe y que elige un numero aleatorio en 50 y 250 Mb, para venderte su conexión.
Menuda estafa, española, eso si.
Complaining about the price of the Steam Machine while posting an image made with the technology responsible for the 30% price markup is certainly a take.
Os suelto un dato que mola bastante más que este:
En los últimos 5 años, Alonso y Hamilton tienen el mismo número de primeras líneas en clasificación (4). Alonso ha estado en Alpine y Aston Martin, Hamilton en Mercedes y Ferrari.

Es una putada que se te pare un tren mientras estás de pasajero. Es aún más putada escuchar al maquinista nada más pararse el tren "se me ha abierto el disyuntor y no se cierra".
