Thank you Koen. The video by Stuart Armstrong linked in the DeepMind paper is pretty close to what I wanted to do :( The DeepMind paper also does similar things.
While I might be able to improve a bit on these examples, I’m thinking that this probably isn’t the best place for me to invest my efforts. Thanks for letting me know about these.
I’m interested in your solutions, I’ll send an email to you privately about it.
Good observation. I would bet that the trade-off you suggest is indeed the original reason, however, our social structures have evolved around our pain, physical and emotional. One way to put it is that degraded performance is a bug on the individual level but a feature on the social level. It would be difficult to have a friend who doesn’t have insecurities.
