Machine learning meet strategic thought


This is actually quite mind-blowing. Instead of trying to directly fight an opponent, this new AI uses its actions to mislead the opponent's perception of the situation so that the opponent fails through its own mistakes.

In OODA terms, the AI is shaping the Observe process of the opponent to mess up the opponent's Orient thus Decide processes, leading it to take the wrong Action. And doing so helps it to win 86% of the time, instead of trying to slug it out with the opponent for a 47% win rate.

Looked at from the perspective of strategic thought, it is to win without fighting, to win through deception. The Art of War. Wow.

🤯
