Curated. This first writeup came out 2 and a half weeks after the experiment was suggested. I am excited about a world where researchers can suggest tests and people will quickly start testing and publishing them (even when a lot of the value in the experiment was in the rhetorical effect of suggesting it, and not just in the execution of it).
Also, this is a pretty enjoyable post. I am a big fan of the Darwin Game, and the D&D.Sci series (with frequent contributions as participant and author by aphyer, a participant in this game). I don’t know chess, so was only able to follow the vague details, but it still gave me some intuition as to what happened.
It seems early to draw any conclusions from this game, but I look forward to reading more experiments!
