After populating block world with AIs, how can we prompt them to create and share a language? Humans have created many languages throughout history. Today, we have many healthy young language projects, mostly related to the computing industry. So, how do we nurture and encourage blockworld AIs to do the same. In OpenAIs research, they mention creating an environment that encourages cooperation through learning and teaching. Being the contrarian that I am, I put my money on the opposite. Competition can also drive communities into a creative process. So, firstly, I will assume a predator/prey state of mind to be our goal. Second, . In block-world, compute blocks are the most valuable thing in the world. The only difference between a worm, a pest, and an ape, are the number of compute blocks inside their tiny one voxel head. establish a food chain Third, establish voxel physics and sub-voxel physics. This is an open problem and the largest currently open question for my . The idea for voxel physics is to encourage a rogue-like nature to gameplay. The goal of sub-voxel physics is to encourage emergent intelligence from each agent. Red Yellow Blue blockworld game With all of this mixed in the right quantities, it is my belief that natural language models can be independently developed by automatons. This would be a novel result in and of itself. Here’s to hoping. At the very least the game should be halfway fun to play.
