I agree with the author but maybe it's bad to miss the pain you get on things like "propagating one property through the system on 5 different types in multiple layers".
These kind of pain points usually indicated too much of or a wrong architecture. Being able to fee these kind of things when the clanker does the work is a thing we must think about.
that's the point! we got so concerned with creating a safe space for everyone that can't possible offend we lost site of the community building intent. The crux is to have people self-select without offending them, but IMO it's not a binary goal.
We made an AlphaGo like implementation for the card game Dominion. Certainly not the same number of cards but similar complexity. I have high confidence the same techniques would work for mtg. In fact possibly better as mtg doesn't lend to large search depths. Though possibly worse as there is more hidden information (though that depends on if the format has open deck lists and/or how much of the meta is provided to or trained by the nn)
I'm not aware of any good ML models for MTG. I'm just using off-the-shelf LLMs with a custom harness. It'd certainly be possible to do RLHF or something using the harness I've built, but it'd be expensive - anybody want to give me a few million dollars of OpenRouter credits so I can give it a shot?
No, just me. As you can see from my long history I always took the time ever so often to comment in-depth on stuff i care about on HN, since its the place with the most interesting spread of content for me, and the place with the highest chance of getting interesting responses. I do admit that i use AI for spell-correction, but that sucks since it peppers my grammar with EM (—), which is obviously makes people suspect it pure AI. And i have to re-edit it to remove them to avoid comments like this. But its just me...
Btw, that is what Caesar said to his friend who betrayed him along with all the other senators. I fail to see how accusing chatgpt of betrayal makes sense here, so I'm assuming you have a misunderstanding of the phrase.
You are not out of touch, I rember in the 90s when people recommended using IRC for Linux questions and I hated it.
I didn't want to ask something and interacting in pseudo-realtime with another human being (that could potentionally laugh at me for asking a n00b question).
News groups were a little better for this, but the real progress was when you could search them or later read the answer in Stack Overflow. And the final step here is a LLM agent that has a web/doc search tool and can answer more difficult questions.
