This is the coolest thing Ive seen in a long time. I wonder if we could use this to train squirrels to not get hit by cars.
That might be easier than training people to slow down and take caution when driving.

> they never go into buildings, the buildings all have similar size, the towns have similar layouts, there’s numerous visual inconsistencies, and the towns don’t really make sense
These AI generated towns sure do seem to have strict building and civic codes. Everything on a grid, height limits, equal spacing between all buildings. The local historical society really has a tight grip on neighborhood character.
From the article:
> It would also be sound, with different areas connected in such a way to allow characters to roam freely without getting stuck.
Very unrealistic.
One of the interesting things about mostly-open world game environments, like GTA or Cyberpunk, is the "designed" messiness and the limits that result in dead ends. You poke at someplace and end up at a locked door (a texture that looks like a door but you can't interact with) that says there's absolutely nothing interesting beyond where you're at. No chance to get stuck in a dead end is boring; when every path leads to something interesting, there's no "exploration".
> when every path leads to something interesting, there's no "exploration"
While this sentence makes sense from current game design perspective, I have to say it strikes me as very unrealistic. Facing dead ends has always ruined the immersion for me.
I couldn‘t get past 4. Either Neal or I don‘t know our vegetables.
A common mistake is to consider a tomato a vegetable, perhaps it might help.
"Teach to the test" started this a while ago - memorizing and then forgetting bullet points vs engaging more deeply with a subject.
If we're lucky, LLMs force people to put more effort into assignments and grading and then that would help kids learn to learn as well.

I'm afraid it might be exactly opposite. Having all the knowledge at hand. all the time will lead to knowledge atrophy. Just like it already happens with ability to travel without navigation.

I'm sure it depends on how much laundry he is doing - his dryer is probably heated entirely by servers.
He can then exhaust the remaining server heat through the dryer vent stack.
Untill the exhaust starts "Feeling leaky" I guess.

If you like Puzzle Hunt puzzles, you might enjoy my upcoming game, Outsider, which contains a MIT-style Puzzle Hunt puzzle. You can complete the game without solving it, but the solution uncovers a whole new layer in the story: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3040110/Outsider
at first glance it looks very interesting. gonna download the demo now.

But in your prompts you're trying to assess knowledge, and this model isn't suited for that use case
as mentioned in the blog post: > "it can execute tasks like text classification and data extraction with remarkable accuracy, speed, and cost-effectiveness."
> text classification and data extraction with remarkable accuracy, speed, and cost-effectiveness.
Out of these characteristics I can observe only speed.

it's really nice (both idea/purpose and execution). what would be really great is having direct URLs for each game so you can share and point your kid to specific puzzle.
