I had read this as "modify the game implementation so that the AI running the computer-controlled opponents is superhumanly good" (perhaps another game class falling to the onward march of AlphaZero), but it turns out to mean "modify the game rules so that there is a tech-tree node labelled 'superintelligent AI'".

Date: 2018-01-22 03:35 pm (UTC)Blackadder 4 isn't the best season, it's the most serious season. Not the same thing. If they think serious is best, they shouldn't be watching Blackadder. (Best are 2 and 3. 1 is underrated.)
Buffy 4 isn't the best season, it's the season with the best individual episodes. They actually acknowledge this. But it's not the same thing. (Best are 2 and 3. 1 is underrated.)
