Author here! Happy to answer any questions people might have about Zelda 1 or the upcoming SDK features.
I've seen a few of your posts, but never understood how your system works. Is it a random walk over a fully controlled program (with save states)?
I’m not totally sure what you mean by “fully controlled”, but we make the system under test fully deterministic and then choose “save states” to randomly explore from; the upcoming SDK features are intended to give users more control over determining which save states are worth further exploration.
Am I the only one who’s tired of antithesis marketing passed off as HN blog content over and over and over ?
I'm obviously biased, but if I imagine a world where I had nothing to do with Antithesis, I actually do think an autonomous system playing and beating Zelda is the kind of thing I would enjoy reading about on HN.
That's because it is!
This was an interesting post. It's a shame it somehow lost its front-page status.
Your nickname is so cool, I love it.
So what is wrong with a company talking about its tech product in their blog post? In this case it's a particular person from the company...
If it's not interesting, it wouldn't be upvoted.
