- Meta's CICERO AI Wins Online Diplomacy Tournament | Anthony Alford - InfoQ ... Cicero, the first AI agent to achieve human-level performance in Diplomacy, a strategy game involving both cooperation and competition that emphasizes natural language negotiation and tactical coordination between seven players.
Cicero, has demonstrated the ability to play the strategy game Diplomacy at a level that rivals human performance. Cicero can engage in game conversations and negotiations without most human players realizing they are interacting with a machine. During gameplay on an online league, Cicero sent over 5,000 messages to human players, and its identity as an AI remained undetected. Cicero's performance was impressive, ranking in the top 10% of players. The integration of AI into the game of Diplomacy has shown that machines can effectively mimic human negotiation tactics and strategic thinking. Cicero's achievements in Diplomacy are a testament to the potential of AI in complex human interactions. As AI continues to evolve, it will undoubtedly transform the landscape of diplomacy, offering new tools and methods to support diplomatic efforts.

AlphaGo is a computer program developed by Google DeepMind that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to play the board game Go. In 2016, AlphaGo made history by becoming the first computer program to defeat a professional Go player, Lee Sedol, in a five-game match.
During the second game of the match, AlphaGo made a surprising move, known as Move 37, which stunned the Go community and left Lee Sedol speechless. The move involved placing a stone in an unexpected location on the board, which initially appeared to be a mistake. However, as the game progressed, it became clear that the move was part of a complex strategy that allowed AlphaGo to gain an advantage over Lee Sedol. Move 37 is significant because it demonstrated the power of AlphaGo's AI algorithms and its ability to think creatively and strategically. The move was not based on any known human strategy or prior knowledge of the game, but rather on AlphaGo's own analysis and evaluation of the board position.
What would have happened with human-in-the-loop on Move 37?
The move highlighted the limitations of human intuition and the potential for AI to uncover new insights and strategies in complex domains. If a human expert had been involved in the decision-making process for Move 37, they might have questioned AlphaGo's choice and suggested a more conventional move. This could have prevented AlphaGo from making the unexpected and seemingly risky move that ultimately led to its victory.

an open source, unofficial implementation of AlphaGo Zero using Reinforcement Learning (RL) approaches can be massively parallelized, so Kubernetes seems like a natural fit, as Kubernetes is all about reducing the overhead for managing applications. However, it can be daunting to wade into Kubernetes and Machine Learning, especially when you add in hardware accelerators like GPUs or TPUs! This talk will break down how you can use Kubernetes and TensorFlow to create, in relatively few lines of code, a tabula rasa AI that can play the game of Go, inspired by the AlphaZero algorithm published by Deepmind. This talk will rely on GPUs, TPUs, TensorFlow, KubeFlow, and large-scale Kubernetes Engine clusters. Uses self-play with Monte Carlo Tree Search and refining the Policy/Value along the way.

- For a space that is 'populated':
- Each cell with one or no neighbors dies, as if by solitude.
- Each cell with four or more neighbors dies, as if by overpopulation.
- Each cell with two or three neighbors survives.
- For a space that is 'empty' or 'unpopulated'
- Each cell with three neighbors becomes populated.
Donald Waterman: Draw Poker ...1968
Martin Gardner: Hexapawn ...1962
A simple game on a 3x3 grid, where each side has 3 chess pawns. The objective is to get a pawn to the other side of the board, or leave the opponent unable to move. Normal chess rules apply except that the pawns are not allowed a double move from their starting position. Not really intended as a two-player game, it was designed to demonstrate an artificial intelligence learning technique by using beads in matchboxes. (Old enough to remember matchboxes?) Twenty-four matchboxes were used to represent the possible moves. Essentially, there were two phases. The first phase was to "teach" the matchbox computer to play the game, then a second phase allowed the matchbox computer to play other opponents. The learning speed depended on the skill of the opponent in the teaching phase. Martin Gardner first published this in his Mathematical Games column in March 1962, and subsequently in his book, "The Unexpected Hanging". Board Game Geek

- Play against the online version of MENACE | Matt Scroggs
- Playing Noughts and Crosses using MENACE | Richard Bowles
MENACE (the Machine Educable Noughts And Crosses Engine) “learns” to play Noughts and Crosses by playing the game repeatedly against another player, each time refining its strategy until after having played a certain number of games it becomes almost perfect and its opponent is only able to draw or lose against it. The learning process involves being “punished” for losing and “rewarded” for drawing or winning, in much the same way that a child learns. This type of machine learning is called Reinforcement Learning (RL). Menace: the Machine Educable Noughts And Crosses Engine | Oliver Child - Chalkdust
MENACE makes a move when the human player randomly picks a bead out of the box that represents the game’s current state. The colour of the bead determines where MENACE will move. In some versions of MENACE, there were beads that only represented more blatant moves such as the side, centre, or corner. The human player chooses the beads at random, just like a neural network’s weights are random at the start. Also like weights, the beads are adjusted when there is failure or success. At the end of each game, if MENACE loses, each bead MENACE used is removed from each box. If MENACE wins, three beads the same as the colour used during each individual turn are added to their respective box. If if the game resulted in a draw, one bead is added.

Gamification
Youtube search... ...Google search
Gamification is the strategic attempt to enhance systems, services, organizations, and activities in order to create similar experiences to those experienced when playing games in order to motivate and engage users. This is generally accomplished through the application of game-design elements and game principles (dynamics and mechanics) in non-game contexts. It can also be defined as a set of activities and processes to solve problems by using or applying the characteristics of game elements. Gamification is part of persuasive system design, and it commonly employs game design elements to improve user engagement, organizational productivity, flow, learning, crowdsourcing, knowledge retention, employee recruitment and evaluation, ease of use, usefulness of systems, physical exercise, traffic violations, voter apathy, public attitudes about alternative energy, and more. A collection of research on gamification shows that a majority of studies on gamification find it has positive effects on individuals. However, individual and contextual differences exist. Wikipedia

Non-Fungible Token (NFT) - is a unique and non-interchangeable unit of data stored on a digital ledger (blockchain). NFTs can be associated with easily-reproducible items such as photos, videos, audio, and other types of digital files as unique items (analogous to a certificate of authenticity), and use blockchain technology to give the NFT a public proof of ownership. Copies of the original file are not restricted to the owner of the NFT, and can be copied and shared like any file. The lack of interchangeability (fungibility) distinguishes NFTs from blockchain cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin. Wikipedia

Axie was built as a fun and educational way to introduce the world to Blockchain technology. Many of the original team members met playing Crypto kitties, and it was their first time ever using blockchain]] for anything other than pure speculation. They soon started working on Axie to introduce the magic of Blockchain technology to billions of players. The Vision
- We believe in a future where work and play become one.
- We believe in empowering our players and giving them economic opportunities.
- Most of all, we have a dream that battling and collecting cute creatures can change the world.
- Welcome to our revolution.
In short, Axie Infinity is a Pokemon-inspired game based on the Blockchain, where players can battle other players and earn money. Axies are unique digital assets stored on Axie’s’ own Blockchain and owned in the form of an NFT. The most expensive Axie sold to date was for 300 ETH (Ethereum). To create a new Axie, existing Axie owners must “breed” them by spending in-game currency earned within the game or purchased from an exchange. By winning battles, or selling their Axies to another player, owners can earn the in-game currency. Any earnings can then be sold or traded on the open market for money, generating income for players. Released in March 2018, Axie was one of the first to combine Crypto, Play To Earn, NFT’s, and METAVERSE and it continues to grow with a total trading volume that exceeds $2.4 billion.The METAVERSE Is Coming and It Will Be HUGE | Bitcoinist
