    If you teach an AI to play video games by letting it press whatever buttons it wants and rewarding it for maximizing point totals, then it comes up with an interesting strategy for Tetris.

    It pauses the game. And it never loses.

      If they apply the same strategy to Global Thermonuclear War I’m willing to give them Tetris.

    Against whom did you play?

    If single player: can one even win?

      I think there was a version (NES maybe) that would crash when you got passed a certain level and a counter went out of bounds, called a kill screen.

    Many have tried and failed, and yet here I stand, propped up my seldom seen long piece…

    I bet you were blocked from winning. In fact, if you look closely at this conspiracy theory you’ll see that all the pieces line up!

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

  • what is this thing?
  • No Stupid Questions
  • Ask Lemmy
  • Self Hosted
  • Mildly Interesting

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
