Is there any strategy or alliance too complex for its ruthless intelligence? Meta AI made a groundbreaking announcement with the launch of CICERO — the first-ever AI (artificial intelligence) capable of winning at Diplomacy, a multiplayer strategy game that calls for mutual trust, compromise, and teamwork. This marks a significant milestone in AI evolution.
South Korean Go champion Lee Se-dol has retired after being beat by DeepMind’s AlphaGo software. He told Yonhap news agency his decision was influenced by the fact that artificial intelligence (AI) “cannot be defeated.”
An entity that cannot be defeated
“With the debut of AI in Go games, I’ve realized that I’m not at the top even if I become the number one through frantic efforts,” Se-dol told Yonhap. “Even if I become the number one, there is an entity that cannot be defeated.”

Meta stated, ‘AI has come a long way, demonstrating its capabilities by beating grandmasters at chess, Alpha Go, and even poker.’ With CICERO, they have achieved building something that can apply groundbreaking intelligence across different tasks.
Someday soon, we’ll speak entire universes into existence.
This article is a guide to the companies building the generative artificial intelligence technology that will lead to these virtual worlds (games, simulations, metaverse applications).
Existing market maps describing the landscape for generative AI lack a convincing organization, instead seeming to be random boxes based on functionality. Since most of my readers are interested in the technologies and companies powering things like games, simulations and metaverse applications — you’ll find this map helpful in charting who is moving these specific experiences forward.

Persons with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) often engage in video gaming, one of the most common leisure activity in this population. Escapism, aimed at the avoidance of negative experiences or self-development, is considered as one of the main gaming motivations. Furthermore, escapism is a self-regulatory strategy used while suffering from autistic burnout, consisting of exhaustion, reduced social skills, anhedonia, and withdrawal. The goal of the current study was to determine predictors of escapism in video gaming among adult gamers with ASC. It was hypothesized that two types of escapism – self-suppression and self-expansion – would differentiate gaming motivations, affective outcomes, anhedonia, and autistic burnout rates. A total of 189 persons participated in the study (Mage = 27.52, SDage = 7.25), including 105 females. The results obtained indicated that self-suppression escapism was predicted by introjected regulation, positive and negative affect, and hedonic tone (F = 8.760, p < .001), while self-expansion was predicted by identified and integrated gaming motivations, hedonic tone, and positive affect (F = 23.066, p < .001). PLS-SEM analysis revealed good fit of the model with autistic burnout predicting self-suppression escapism. These results acknowledge the two-dimensional approach to escapism and highlight potential risk factors of self-suppression, especially among persons presenting symptoms of autistic burnout. Future research and clinical application directions are outlined.

The opposition to gaming took a more formal route after teenage boys set fire to an internet cafe in 2002 after they were thrown out. The incident claimed 25 lives and injured 17 others, South China Morning Post (SCMP) said in its previous report. China has also attempted to ban devices like gaming consoles but with only partial success.
