And the real take-home message of diplomacy is that, you know, if people approach diplomacy the right way, then war is ultimately unsuccessful.
The way that I see it, war is...
inherently negative sum game, right?
There's always a better outcome than war for all the parties involved.
And my hope is that, you know, as AI progresses, then maybe this technology could be used to help people make better decisions across the board and, you know, hopefully avoid negative sum outcomes like war.
Well, I feel like this isn't a question that's unique to diplomacy.
I mean, I think you look at RL breakthroughs, reinforcement learning breakthroughs in previous games as well, like AI for StarCraft, AI for Atari.
You haven't really seen it deployed in the real world because you have these problems of it's really hard to collect a lot of data.
and you don't have a well-defined action space, you don't have a well-defined reward function, these are all things that you really need for reinforcement learning and planning to be really successful today.
Now, there are some domains where you do have that.
Code generation is one example.
Theorem proving mathematics, that's another example where you have a well-defined action space, you have a well-defined reward function.
And those are the kinds of domains where I can see RL in the short term being incredibly powerful.
But yeah, I think that those are the barriers to deploying this at scale in the real world.
But the hope is that in the long run, we'll be able to get there.
Yeah, and that's why I do think that diplomacy is taking a big step closer to the real world than anything that's came before in terms of game AI breakthroughs.
The fact that...
You know, we're communicating in natural language.
We're leveraging the fact that we have this like general data set of dialogue and communication from a breadth of the internet.
That is a big step in that direction.
