[A_piece_of_broccoli]

the smiles on their faces when they exploit bugs in the programming is by far the best image of ai learning i've ever seen

[hoanghimself]

"after another three bilion rounds, seeker and hider start to team up and plan to escape"

[pink_lemonade]

programmer: "i didn't say you can do that"
ai: "but you also didn't say that i can't do it either"

[suicideposter]

They didn't have to make this game look so cute but they did.

[Lethal_Spoon]

how to find bugs in your game: force ai to keep playing it until they find every last bug

[mile]

"What is he doing?"
"He's beginning to believe."
4:22

[twohavds]

The fact that both teams eventually started to discover speedrun strats just goes to show that games are made to be broken in the name of speed

[Saidriak]

Holy moly an AI discovering prop flying and clipping out of the map is excellent

[kennywebb]

Huge props to the scholars for taking the time to make these characters adorable :3

[newair]

"After another three billion rounds, the hider realize it is easier to throw seeker out of the game just like the ramp"

[nobodygoodfr]

"Who in their right mind would think of that?"

Speedrunners: "We added it to our Any% guide two months ago."

[DavidGaming]

4:27 the way he was so happy while flying and looking at the camera it's so cute

[AugustSchroif]

Still waiting when they'll learn how to say "gg ez" after a game.

[juneru]

i love how hes just casually like:
"a few hundred million rounds later..."

[madswipe]

When the seeker abused the ramp physics to fly, not gonna lie I was howling

[arturodiaz]

4:27 that smile on the seeker's face, he knows he's done something he's not supossed to

[AbeDillon]

Pro tip for AI paper writers: put goofy faces on your agents!

[DeFiPonzi]

Plot twist: The AI made this video, uploaded and narrated it.

[TriplePalindromous]

"OpenAI learns how to speedrun"

[noprivacyleft]

I imagine game creators will start running AI players to uncover glitches. Or do they already?
