Nice, this link from that site is also interesting, though I don’t like the language they use in the articles when they talk about AI. When I hear people talk about what an AI “is thinking” rather than “how it works” to me it always suggests a basic lack of comprehension on their part of what our current AI really is. But that’s probably just me 🙂 [https://futurism.com/researchers-develop-a-new-algorithm-to-teach-ai-to-learn-and-how-to-adapt/](https://futurism.com/researchers-develop-a-new-algorithm-to-teach-ai-to-learn-and-how-to-adapt/) ---

I was thinking about this idea a little more recently. So to elaborate on it a bit (shameless bump) I was thinking of maybe a total of 40 licences as in game items. They could originally be distributed as an event reward & be a salable in-game item, repackaging would wipe previous training, contract sales of an un-repackaged one would retain prior training. I was thinking of a hard limit of 1 active licence per corporation & 2, 3 or 4 per alliance. You might use corp member actions through a special API key to provide the data for potential actions to give the trainers some control over what they “might” learn. CCP can have 1 of their own as an in-game AI ambassador & there could be another kind of “open access” one live streaming that anyone in or out of game can chat with & in exchange for donations (ISK, cash or both) vote to effect it’s personality sliders, this last one could potentially provide us with some good publicity & promotional opportunities if done right. We could have a new section of the alliance tournament for them, I think that would be fun, you might not of course 🙂 So that would be a total of 42 in game, not enough to unbalance anything but enough (I’d hope) to provide some interest for those of us who like this sort of thing. ---
