First, we will need an AI. |
|
|
Or even a couple of commas. |

I have no idea what he's talking about. |
|
|
Or it could be like in Kind Hearts and Coronets, with
Alec Guinness playing most of the characters |

Well, I did some searching, but no high ranking military officer with that last name turned up. I probably didn't search enough... |

Is he a mate of Corporal Punishment ? |

We should also have mentioned that we have the address of Kernel Exception, but it's in hexadecimal. |

Take conversation as an example. When you make conversation, you subconsciously put yourself in the shoes of the other person and in how they will understand the message and anticipate how they will respond (and then how you will respond in turn). This requires looking several 'moves ahead' (to use a chess analogy). A failure to do this 'optimization' will result in robotic and unconvincing conversation. |
|
|
By mapping the branching possibilities of an AI task (e.g. conversation) into an iterative 'game', you can efficiently optimize it (by eliminating the unsuccessful game branches) to find the best 'move'. |

The idea was presumably inspired by the computer that recently beat the world champion in Go. |

|
And just where are all the Generals ? Someone should make a map. |
