I'm thrilled to share that I've joined @ARCPrize to lead model testing and analysis for the ARC-AGI benchmarks.

I'd been spending a lot of my free time building and evaluating agent behavior in grid-based games, wishing I could do it full time. So when @GregKamradt reached out asking if I knew anyone who'd be a good fit for this new role, I replied that I might be, and thankfully it turns out I was.

If you're interested in measuring or contributing to progress toward AGI, check out the ARC Prize if you haven't already.

Excited to get started!

Me: I wonder if the domain name I have in mind is for sale, let me check

Website: $11,111

Me: That's a lot, but it might be worth it

Website: No, check again

Last night I asked my 10-year-old daughter to try the new AI product I've been working on.

I half expected her to test it for a few minutes and then want to go do something else, but she wound up playing for over an hour.

Shortly after she started, my 11-year-old son came in, saw what she was doing, and hopped on another computer to play too. He kept at it for the rest of the hour as well. When I finally told them it was time for bed, they asked to stay up later to keep playing. I let them :).

That was more time than they've spent using AI in their entire lives.

And mind you, it's not just for kids. I've spent many hours playing it too. All it requires is a little imagination.

So, yeah, feeling pretty good about this thing. DM me if you want to try it. There are still a few rough edges I want to polish, and then I should be able to share it on here sometime next week.

Some stellar feedback from @sneed_and_feed who tested the new AI product I've been cooking:

> Mind successfully blown. If I had this as a kid, I wouldn't have ever put it down. Runs about as well as it could on my machine, latency is great and it's a heck of a world model. So, so fun, even in alpha/beta.

I'm looking for more beta testers before sharing it more widely. DM me if you're interested and I'll send over a link.

Happy Veteran's Day to all my fellow vets out there! 🇺🇸🫡
