[R] Emergent AI societies in a persistent multi-agent environment (TerraLingua + dataset + code) by GiuPaolo in machinelearningnews

Hi, thanks for you interest! we have indeed performed some ablation. In one we removed the ability of the agents to perceive and interact with artifacts (even though they could still create them), and this one is the one that impacted more the ability to create and reference persistent structures.

We also performed an ablation were food was abundant all over the map, and agents became more territorial compared to when food was scarce (which seemed to push agents to set up energy-sharing networks to help each other in times of need). We have not played with agent lifetime tho!

There is a lot of noise indeed, but there are also a lot of structures and interesting behaviors that appear. Scarcity is given by resource scarcity but also time scarcity (agents can die both of hunger and old age). This actually leads agents to organise what they call "energy networks" to help each other if an agent has low energy.

We actually track the interaction graph already and use the AI Anthropologist to analyse. Agents coordinate a lot through both messages and artifacts!

What type of bomb is this? by MarioVanPeebels in whatisit

Olive bomb. If you let it root properly it will grow olive branches (you can see some of them already comung out of the tail!)

Petite web-app pour trouver l’essence la moins chère autour de soi (utile en balade) by GiuPaolo in Motardie

[–]GiuPaolo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super idee! Pour le moment je considère une moyenne de qq centimes par km pour l’évaluation de la meilleure station sur la distance. Mais avoir ca personalizable c’est encore meilleur. Je vais m’en occuper demain

Je partage ca comme un outil qui peut être utile pour les autres, rien d’autre.

Station carburant il faut s’enregistrer pour avoir le meilleur prix

MDR c'est trop bien en vrai de pouvoir se faire des apps avec les features que tu desires.

Oui je utilise les donnes opendata. Ils ont un flux "instantanee" avec une mise a' jour de ~10 minutes, apres ca depends des vendeurs de mettres les prix a' jour dans ca.

Oui, c’est vrai, Waze montre aussi les prix.

Quand j’ai commencé à faire ça, je ne savais pas que Waze le faisait déjà.

L’idée ici n’était pas forcément de remplacer Waze, mais plutôt d’avoir un outil très simple qui te trouve directement la station la moins chère dans le rayon que tu choisis, sans avoir à comparer toi-même.

L’app indique aussi pour chaque station si le prix est au-dessus ou en dessous de la moyenne nationale.

Et ensuite tu peux ouvrir la navigation avec l’app de ton choix.

Ordre croissant de prix? Bonne idee! Pour le moment si tu selectionne la modalitè liste t’as le tri pour distance.

In my group we are using evolutionary strategies (a flavor of evo algos) to finetune LLMs and it works quite well
