I am very bad at these kinds of games, so I want to believe this.
Meanwhile, I’m going to go hover around this light bulb until someone turns it off or I die from dehydration.
My cousin works on similar stuff, and she says that knowing the connectome (which neurons connect to others) is practically useless for understanding how the brain actually functions. You don’t know how strongly the neuron activations are correlated, and you can’t tell a regular neuron from an inhibitory one. In other words, you can train it to do anything you want, and it will have nothing to do with how the brain actually thinks. She told me about this study where some scientists trained the fly’s connectome to act like a fly, and then another paper trained it to play a game (it might’ve been this one).
Someone i knew who was really academically excellent without any effort, he loves/loved rhythm games. I think people are drawn to games which fill a void of what they can get out of their own life, so someone who doesn’t play a musical instrument or sports for instance can get that from rhythm games.
I’ve also know rather intelligent people who love rhythm games. Something tells me anon is doing a little projection here.
John Carmack also loves beat saber IIRC and I hear he’s pretty smart
I know there’s likely no actual consciousness there, but this is next level I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.
I Have No Fruit And I Must Fly
I have no saber and I must beat.
I mean, you can’t really KNOW that
