This phony BS again? Nobody has talked about this grift for months with good reason.
Hooking up a meatwad to a "shoot" button and a left/right sensor is not "learning to play 'DOOM'". The video doesn't even show the meatwad playing except maybe for a few cherry picked seconds.
The "biotech" grift preceded the "AI" grift but neither ever ended.
Look, if you don't like the meatwad, there are plenty other wads available!
Video sure looks like this, but they have the tech, they describe it like something that can actually be used to divide screen into NxM areas and send representation of each area to neurons for example. And even that would be extremely naive approach ofc. But that's beside the point. To me the most concerning thing here is that they already have this setup and it sounds like they even provide API to use it for external projects.
