I’ve been quietly lurking on this website for a while now, reading articles as fast as I can with much enthusiasm. I’ve read most of Eliezer’s genius posts and started to read through others’ posts now. I’ve came to this website when I learned about AI-in-a-box scenario.
I am a 23 year old male. I have a B.S. in computer science. I like to design and program video games. My goal in life is to become financially independent and make games that help people improve themselves.
I find the subject of rationality to be very interesting and helpful in general, though I have trouble seeing the application for the more scientific parts (bayes) of rationality in real life, since there is no tag attached to most events in life.
I would like to pose a question to this community: do you think video games can help spread the message and the spirit of this website? What kind of video games will accomplish that? Would you be interested in working on a game or contributing to one in other ways (e.g. donations or play testing)?
Or maybe instead of writing games I should just commit to S.I. and work on F.A.I.?

We’ve already thought about the possibility of a game. See this page. IIRC PeerInfinity is particularly fond of the idea.
