Could you give me some advice on a related problem I have? I want to make a "game" which is more of a game environment sandbox. something kind of in-between game engines and actual games. I want to be able to create the feel of

I understand that frustration, but there are layers to benefit of the doubt. Sometimes giving BotD involves changing the conversation topic because an understanding is not going to be reached on the current one. the best way to think abo

Oh definitely.. but a good leader could still fall into some traps of thinking they can offload some of their good leadership decisions into targets. and then employees feel judged rather than seen

In addition to this, metrics do not need targets. repeating for emphasis: metrics do not need targets. You absolutely need measurements and data, and to highlight trends.. but target metrics are almost always bullshit. It reminds me of a

thank you, this is pretty much what I was trying to say. Especially the narratives part. there are plenty of instances of humans finding winning moves in positions that the computer did not 'see' the advantage of until after it

I think you are misunderstanding. His sentiment seems to be one of "I am burnt out and unmotivated to continue BUT the idea of playing against a young upcoming GM could be motivating enough" So it isnt the most important reason,

you're missing the point of my post. yes the computer prunes, but fundamentally it is attempting to review all possible scenarios indiscriminately as opposed to a human who is trying to make some sort of sense of the position. withou

while true, it is still fair to say Carlsen views nepo as a waste of time. While it would be easy to dismiss this as hubris - i think the bigger point is that he doesnt gain anything from beating him again. It's not that Nepo has no
