also, yeah that 'statistics matrixy` thing, that used to have the name "fuzzy logic" and i am a big fan of one of its early proponents, Bart Kosko (who wrote the book with that title, as well as a cool cyberpunk book called Nanotime)

i've written several algorithms already that do "statistics matrixy things" namely first two were difficulty adjustment algorithms but right now my main paid gig task is writing one that searches for similarities between gamer's profiles (games, playtimes, achievements, teams, etc) and it's part of an "AI" project and the normies don't know this but fuzzy logic is the foundation of AI

let me repeat that

Fuzzy Logic Is The Foundation Of AI

most of the stuff that GPTs and similar do is literally do a transformation on data that has been statistically analysed and the proximity (how close on a graph) that is to another point on the graph, is a major part of how they make decisions

in fact, i just want to tell a story, back in 1999, i was dreaming up exactly a fuzzy matching graph based algorithm that would do translations between computer languages, it was practically what started me on the path back to my childhood dream of being a programmer

so, yeah

i hate the hype, but the technology is literally stuff that i'm very interested in, and have done several pieces of work related to, and am working on such a thing right now

Childhood dreams are the best. Sounds like you found a way back to them. I assume it's an enjoyable challenge to find similarities between gamer profiles.

Since I'm only used to linking things on IDs, I had to think how this works

Makes me think of 2 things: the gibber link video someone posted of two AIs using tone language to communicate.

And If the video game associates noises with each game action (jump, fire, score) then each player would have their own unique song and rhythm.

Kinda like whale song. communicating into the void to find someone similar.

yup, it's challenging, and at times depressing when people misunderstand what is going on

Gah, sorry if I misunderstood haha

no, not at all, just that most of the people who give me feedback on my work are doing it through a very narrow filter that they don't specify the nature of (but if i interact a lot i have a fair idea where they are coming from)

humans have information systems inside their brains, and the least helpful and most tyrannical people have ones they try to hide from people because they are trying to manipulate people into giving false positive feedback

so, it happens, and your humility is refreshing
