Training

How can you win, if you don’t know what the limitations and objectives are?

Based on this Idea, I play a game with my children where we start a game that they don’t know the rules to. I award points to them until they deduce how to win. The person that figures out the rules first usually wins.

It is very similar to training AI.

What is interesting about this game is that acquiring points early in the game is not very valuable, they are just data points. Learning what does and does not earn points is the real value.

So making mistakes and finding limits is really valuable.

The point of the game (life) is to figure out what the rules (expectations) are. Once you understand how the game is played, you have a distinct advantage over all of your competitors.
