Facebook proposes NetHack as a grand challenge in AI research (venturebeat.com) 18 points by phs318u 5y ago ↗ HN
[–] Buttons840 5y ago ↗ Interesting environment. I like that it's turn based so quick and accurate reflexes aren't an advantage, just pure decision making.I wonder if something like Civilization would be a little easier, more popular with viewers, and would still push the state-of-the-art forward?

Since NetHack is literally an ASCII game, all your computation goes in the agent.An environment based on Civilization would be very interesting though.
