214 | EVE Frontier, AI agents and the future of gaming

<p>Hilmar Veigar Pétursson talks AI, agents, Fenris&#39; DeepMind partnership and EVE Frontier. </p><ul><li>[02:42] EVE Online as the ultimate boss of all online games - no win conditions, partial data etc. </li><li>[03:49] You could argue that EVE Online provides the benchmark test for AGI. </li><li>[04:25] Google DeepMind has its agents running in a private playground version of EVE.</li><li>[04:33] This is important for continual learning, partial information, long-term memory.</li><li>[07:55] Contrary to belief, EVE rewards trust and honesty, soft skills and conflict resolution. </li><li>[09:28] Agents need an environment in which to develop a sense of morality. </li><li>[10:26]In future, we could run tests with humans to harden the agents against manipulation. </li><li>[14:09]Players don&#39;t care what technology is in the game. They care whether it&#39;s a good game. </li><li>[16:53] In EVE Frontier, we&#39;ve designed a game that humans and AI can play.</li><li>[19:16] There has to be a boundary to agency. There has to be a cost. In EVE Frontier, it&#39;s fuel. </li><li>[21:59] The rise of AI means that skilled players and hackers have been commoditized. </li><li>[24:48] No blockchain game has the breadth and depth and scope of EVE Frontier. </li><li>[28:19] EVE Frontier has attracted some of the earliest EVE Online gamers back to play. </li><li>[30:35] The biggest milestone for EVE Frontier will be moving from Sui testnet to mainnet. </li><li>[31:56] EVE Frontier&#39;s high fidelity controls are part of its richer physics and data asymmetry. </li><li>[34:10] It&#39;s the case that humans tend to be more skilled in these situations than AIs. </li><li>[37:34] EVE Frontier is designed to allow players to legally earn money. EVE Online isn&#39;t.</li></ul>
