I wholeheartedly disagree as someone with 8k+ hours in game.

In fact most people in dota have maxed out behavior scores.

You have to try pretty hard to be muted in the game or have behavior or communication scores lowered significantly.

I can assure anyone that just because you're sitting at 12k doesn't mean your experience is going to be good or an "entirely different experience"


Is that simply cultural? DOTA is well over a decade old. If everyone's toxic and behavior is self-moderated, then toxic behavior is not just normalized but reinforced.


And as someone with that many hours too... Go check a 8k behavior score or below. The system is working. It's just that the depths of hell are deeper than people think.

It could be more aggressive at lowering score tho, true. Used to be. They "buffed" the gain per 20 matches last December, but it was great before (And even lowered the scores of streamers that had it coming).

Which games are those?


The most interesting one is https://store.steampowered.com/app/774541/Species_Artificial... but that doesn't actually do abiogenesis, it starts with a "primordial" species.

There are older games (don't have my steam account on my work computer) that have much simpler starting states but they are abandoned or just not worth the price.

"I wrote a program to evolve life" is a super popular toy programming challenge as well, and you can find good and bad examples on youtube.


Gridworld comes to mind. I'd be interested in learning of others

Also, Dwarf Fortress. :)


OpenAI has been in the news lately because one of the new 4o voices sounds like Scarlett Johansson in the movie Her.

Allegedly Scarlett Johansson was approached multiple times about being the voice, but turned it down, so they just made a voice that sounds like her.

There were some tweets that had very conspicuous timings that accelerated the drama.

It seems that google is mixing in the largest related search terms.


I am well aware of the situation, hence me searching her name.

But that doesn’t explain the nonsense word salad. I would actually be very skeptical to assume that these were taken verbatim from searchers.

You would have needed A LOT of people to have searched that exact phrase for it to be added to PAA.

Google does a good job with People Also Ask, and I have never seen this before. It might be nothing, but I am leaning towards one of their NLP systems leaking.


Google does a good job with People Also Ask?

It's a great service for providing the wrong answers to things I didn't search for, but I admit I haven't yet figured out why I am supposed to desire this.


Yeah that sentence would literally be caught by a rudimentary grammar checker. This is what happen when you apply YOLO-driven design decisions on the basics of your core product.
