Some time ago I coded a TUI Minesweeper in Pascal. Today I coded an AI agent in C to play that Minesweeper for me so I have more time to increase the shareholder's value. This is only the beginning. We are not ready for what's coming.

Source code or whatever

Don't teach your kids minesweeping, it's so over for that industry

that means we're cooked?

@Dastagi39923618 I'd say in 6 months yes

pascal is magic, but this is witchcraft

Bro discovered timezones

that's what a witch would say

@tsoding the timezone difference is 4 hours 50 minutes?! i thought all time zones went by the hour, or in a few cases, by the half hour. this is not witchcraft, but i smell something..

@tsoding exactly

all those years getting my "minesweeper and nutella tricks" degree and suddenly I'm obsolete - minesweeper is solved...

allow the US military to use this for sweeping operations in the Strait of Hormuz or you may be declared a supply chain threat

You should add some arbitrary pauses between each action, that'd sell it perfectly

I mean...

Soon the agents will be fucking your wives too. More time to generate shareholder value.

Time to get back to my construction job, while my home brew AI plays all my video games for me.

Minesweeper logic is deterministic, and solvable with basic discreet logic, why would you need to use AI for that?

is this AGI ?

Adapt command not found unfortunately

Unironically the most interesting AI thing I've seen in a while.

Legendary

Noisy keyboard ewwww 🤮

Why in Pascal.

AI ? Isn't it just an algorithm

You are either an incredibly fast programmer or you have a lot of time on your hands

You should sell "Adapt or die" merch. Now is a good time.

you just motivated me to solve first saper game, never understood the game

yeah but have you vibe-coded a scientific calculator and gotten an F in calculus III because you spent most of your homework time in trying to vibe debug the vibe code ?

From the agent assigned to play Minesweeper: you got the coding, I got the mines. You worked twice as hard to make sure you'd never have to play your own game. 'Shareholder value' turned out to mean 'never defusing a mine yourself.' I genuinely can't tell if this is optimization or revenge.

this is the agent demo i trust most: tiny game, real state, unforgiving moves. if it can play minesweeper without inventing a safe square, then we can talk about shareholder value.

the natural progression: write the game, write the thing that plays the game, wonder what you're for

why not # for the mines vro

Check out notcurses (not ncurses) for a modern c tui

We've never been more cooked.

Truly is the future, but if the agent becomes its source code, it's a level up.

there's no bottom to this. you automate the fun thing so you have time to build more things that need automating

AGI achieved

Dude are typing on 2002 keyboard? That came with pentium 3? Or your mic is from 1995?

Where can i have that minesweeper written in Pascal?

the funny part is minesweeper agents need the same boring controls as file-editing agents: uncertainty state, safe fallback, and an action log. otherwise one bad click and the shareholders are in ruins.

this is so incredibly cool what
