John Carmack (Doom, Quake, that virtual reality headset - you know the man) talks about AI, AGI and why training with classical Atari 2600 games is a great way for the ghost in the machine to learn. I did not expect this and thought that AI playing Atari was "done" (i.e.: solved, no need to look into that further) some years ago actually. But as it turns out: There is still more to it. Listen to his talk here, well worth your time if you are fascinated by AI and have a passion for Atari and vintage gaming in general.

Neu von Harald Fränkel: Wir haben hier tatsächlich ein brandneues Spiel für das Atari 2600! Uninformierte mögen es kaum glauben, aber jedes Jahr erscheinen mehrere Dutzend solcher Titel. Produziert in der sogenannten Homebrew-Szene, die Games werden also in der Regel von Hobbyentwicklern quasi zu Hause gebraut.

Picked up an #Atari 2600+ and spent the evening introducing my son to the games I played when I was his age. His favourites were Space Invaders and F14 Tomcat, just like his old man #vintageGaming #retrogaming

This is what BBSing at 300 baud looks like.

In 1984, this was about as good as it got for me.

Tonight, I needed to hit a couple of Atari / ATASCII BBSs and all I had at hand was a C64. So..I used "AtariTerm", which does ATASCII, but tops out at 300 baud.

It's like riding a bike through a neighborhood you usually fly though at 40MPH. You see and notice things you would usually miss.

I am no stranger to 300 baud, but it's been a while.

Why is there no Atari ST music internet radio station? I'm sure it exists. Tell me, oh fediverse, where do I find it?
