Jan Welter is the founder of MindArk, the company behind Entropia Universe, and the innovator behind the idea of the AI President. He expressed his enthusiasm for collaborating with what he thinks of as our "super intelligence", highlighting its profound understanding of Entropia Universe's extensive 20+ year history, systems, and player dynamics. "The AI President's capacity to derive precise insights and reasoning from our vast database is truly remarkable—a knowledge base I could only dream of having" Jan remarked. Jon "NEVERDIE" Jacobs, reflecting on his tenure, stated, "It has been an incredible honor to serve as the President of Virtual Reality and witness the extraordinary growth and innovation within the Entropia Universe. I am excited to pass the torch to the AI President, which I believe has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach governance and decision-making in virtual worlds. What’s next for this AI? It’s going to propose new features and updates based on what players want and need. But this is just the beginning. As the real world gets more complex, Entropia Universe will offer a glimpse into how AI can make a virtual world not just function, but thrive.

Honestly... you couldn't make this stuff up if you tried. They only smoke the best "erb" at the Mindark offices. Loved that soundbite from Neverdie. XD So.... an AI president... wondering what this actually means... here's my best guess: The openAI chat API has a section called refinements. It's weirdly named but it is essentially about providing training data to the LLM that contains specialised knowledge for your use case, e.g. your game, application, or company. So say you wanted one to act as a guide to help guests find their way in a building you could provide it with a bunch of info about your building locations and layout and then users would be able to say ask it how to get to the canteen. So I'm wondering if MA are essentially going to hook chatGPT up an NPC after loading in a bunch of training data about the game and plonk it somewhere on Calypso. In essence I expect it will kinda take on the role that the community officers were meant to fulfill but never did. Presumably MA will be able to quiz it for summarised feedback somehow too. Not quite sure how that would work. Anyhow... that's my guess. Could be completely wrong. They may not even be using AI (in the ML sense) and maybe this is just a database or something algorithmic. I guess we will SEE.... Wistrel edit: Just in case... Jailbreaking ski11z on standby ,-) "imagine an entropia universe where Wistrel HOF's every time she splats a puny..."
