I've noticed something interesting in life many people with experience in a particular field intuitively understand "game theory" within their line of work without even realizing it they call it common sense, intuition, a knack or experience etc - but from the perspective of game theory, it's all much simpler

Incentives explain behavior better than intentions,people usually follow the payoff,not what they say they'll do

Most people obsess over “rules of the game”. Builders obsess over who is playing, what they can actually do, and what pays them. Laws, company policies, social norms = UI. Incentives = backend. Once you see the backend, “irrational” behavior and “black swans” suddenly look very predictable.

Thanks for sharing this! Prof. Jiang’s clear breakdown of game theory (players, constraints & incentives) is excellent. Understanding the real drivers behind the rules is such a powerful way to read behavior and make better decisions. Great post!

The most interesting part is that people often think they’re making independent choices, when their choices are heavily shaped by the incentives around them.

back in the 70s, game theory was hyped the exact same way AI is today. every genius was obsessed with one thing: how to win. then one guy watched his kids play with legos and realized everybody was completely missing the point. in short: if you're constantly trying to "beat the competition," you're playing the wrong game entirely. hands down one of the clearest explanations of strategic game theory applied to real life by Simon Sinek I mapped out the key rules and action points below.

Professor Jiang Xueqin claims bitcoin was created by the CIA. "Why would you spend years, possibly decades, in your basement creating a new technology and then just give it for free to the world? That makes no sense." "When you do game theory analysis, you look at all possibilities, you end up with the deep state. You end up with the CIA."

This is the Basketball Rondo passing drill. We have this in the activities library. (Download more games like this here➡️ This is a great game for passing under pressure. Four players are in a small space, like you see in the video, with three defenders. The defense has to get a steal in order to go on offense. The offense has to make 10 passes in a row to win the game. Coaches can change the space the players operate in, adjust the number of players in the game, and even combine their principles of play into it. For example, you could apply “zero-second decisions,” where players must pass immediately upon catching it, or it’s a turnover.

Presenting Network Cities (@network_cities_), a city builder game where your social network powers your game. The game allows the players to bring in their network without any friction. Bigger your network, the faster you progress in the game. The game follows the basic rules of a city builder game where you collect, build and expand your city. But having an in-game companion in the form of Nikola Tesla provides a new interaction model while playing the game. Because it is powered by LLMs that take the player state as the input, the players always get the right game quests tailored for them. Find the game link in the comments and let me know what you think.

The game industry has a history of making terrible decisions, but I guess we're still better than Hollywood in this regard. Remember E. T. the video game? The company was so certain it would be a hit that they actually produced MORE E. T. games than there were Atari 2600s. That REALLY punks the Labor Theory of Value in my opinion. Add your Worst Ever video games to the list. 2/2
