Games are the dominant form of entertainment for younger people, it's extremely difficult to craft good AI for games
Games like Dota 2 have 118 heroes, you need a decision tree for each hero and you need to change all of them for each patch! 5/n github.com/adamqqqplay/do…
Games are datasets where you can create agents that are tested end to end on their language comprehension skills, strategic skills, vision skills etc..
Any game you can imagine or have played can be used as a dataset 6/n
Unity also has the benefit of being the only publicly traded game engine company 8/n
Roblox owns its own store, make it trivial for others to deploy games and remix games - it's a platform reminiscent of repl.it that has the potential to move fast
Epic has more advanced lighting and physics but is still far behind Unity in ML 9/n
However, Reinforcement Learning is not sample efficient, you need tons of servers to get anywhere. Servers which AWS, Google and Microsoft own in abundance.
The only game engine with a real moat seems to be NVIDIA with GPUs, CUDA and gamer mindshare can cut out the competition entirely developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-omniver… 13/n
Game engines are synonymous with data
If data is oil then Game engines are free energy machines

I just finished watching @NetflixTheQG and wow did it bring out some feels.
I was never particularly good but I spent the better part of my childhood playing Chess and reading Chess books.
I was about 12 years and "Searching for Bobby Fischer" was randomly airing on TV. 🧵
I remember being so captivated by the moving pieces even though I had no idea what was going on. My older sister offered to teach me, she showed me how the pieces moved, after losing the first few games I would ask for just "one more" until I was able to win consistently.
My older sister was so happy and mentioned to my dad that it sounds like I'm pretty good. I played a few games against my dad but no matter what I did I kept getting crushed and I remember being so frustrated and angry.
