SPEEDGATE AI GAME

SPEEDGATE

SpeedGate is a sport that some AI faggots came up with. I wanted to archive the website and link that here, but the website is generated from JS in real time (because that's apparently necessary to describe a sport,) rendering archiving useless. Eventually, I had to screencap the website 18 times and stitch the parts together in GIMP to create pic related.

The game seems alright for backyard fun; thing is, it really wasn't that much work on the part of the software. The sport was dreamed up by a series of ANNs that were being run on an (((Nvidia))) cluster along with many other possible games and this one was the one that made the most sense (others were games that involved exploding frisbees and underwater freerunning.)

Although the sport seems decently fun, it seems that the creators are complete faggots. I'm not sure about my own opinion of this sport, but it at least seems like a technically impressive feat.

Random tech website's coverage of the game:

Humans have employed Al to identify what's in photos, create artificial faces, and evenplay video games betier than we can. For the first time, Al has created a sport. Nvidia anda design agency called AKQA fed neural networks data about sports that already exist,and they came up with a new one. It's called Speedgate, and it's a mix of rugby, fieldhockey, soccer, and more.The team started with the rules for 400 of the world’s most popular sports — that’'s morethan 7,300 individual rules. That data passed through a recurrent neural network and adeep convolutional generative adversarial network. A recurrent neural network usesconnections between the individual nodes to process sequences of inputs in time. Agenerative adversarial network uses two networks in comp:the two generates an output, and the other decides if the output seems “real.” on with each other. One of AKQA and N ran the networks on clusters of Tesla GPUs to generate more than1,000 different sports complete with rules and logos. Of course, machines have noregard for human safety, so many of the suggested games were too dangerous orimpractical. There was one that involved underwater parkour and another based onexploding frisbees. And who wouldn’t want to throw balls back and forth while walking atightrope between two hot air balloons? The humans on the team evaluated the outputsand pared them down to a list of 10 possibilities and then field tested three of them.Speedgate was the winner.To play Speedgate, you need two teams of six players and a few flexible poles to createthe gates. There’s a center gate and one at each end of the field. Three players on eachteam can go wherever they like on the field, but the other three can only cross into theother team’s half when their team has control of the gate. You get control by kicking theball through the center gate, but you can’t step in the center gate area. ( player.vimeo.com/video/329923291?dnt=1&app_id=122963?wmode=transparentYou can toss the ball between players, but you can’t run with it. If you catch the ball, it hasto be passed or kicked within three seconds. If you don’t, the other team can try to snatchit away. You score points by kicking the ball through the other team’s gate in eitherdirection. The winner is the team with the most points at the end of three 7-minuteperiods.There’s a full website with rules, field measurements, and even a recommendation forwhat ball to use (a size 4 rugby training ball). AKQA is looking to make Speedgate a thingin communities around the world. There’s a page on the Speedgate website where youcan sign up to get materials on how to start your own league. Unless that’s just what themachines want us to do.

too complicated

apparently they told their AI that women want to play sports.
This is interesting. They're basically admitting that AI is useless on it's own; it needs a human to do filtering for it. Out of 1000 games, only one ended up being any good. And looking at it, it's clearly pretty ass as well. Recent blogs on AI generated poetry finds the same thing. AI can generate passable, but ultimately shitty poetry, 1/1000 of the time.

This, pretty much. I really wonder how this would compare to just randomly mixing the rules of different games together and seeing what comes out.

It's a literal SJW sport

...

pizzagate?

The biggest issue I see is that awkward foul zone in the center gate

its just stupid with all those poles all over the field. you're gonna crash into them all the time. won't be so funny after a while.
