Show HN: Jev Plays Pokémon Red

Hey HN! Wanted to share a fun project I've been hacking on. Given Jev can make decisions really fast (but not fast enough to play Doom yet sadly), I wanted to try and push it to play a more complex game than Tetris. So I went with Pokémon.I've spent endless hours playing this game as a child so building this was a ton of fun.I open sourced everything in case you want to hack on it yourself here: https://github.com/christianmat/jev-pokemonThe game is being streamed live including the tokens and cost - hopefully we get all the badges and don't get stuck in a cave :)

Did I miss something? I thought one of the demo videos was it doing pretty decent at the first level of Doom?

This is kinda chill to have in the background. I wish there were livestreams showing live reasoning of top models which are currently trying to solve cancer or whatever. Imagine the pogs in chat when it does.

People need to be live streaming their AI more!

Looking at the diagram in the gh repo, it looks like this is entirely jev. Are there any examples of people having a big model like Fable handle high level goals?

That's actually fun to watch. Did you experiment with nicknaming before you turned it off? I'd be a little curious to see how it behaves.

Jev can't come up with original text, but I did consider giving it a list of hilarious names.

with such a fat harness, this is more like watching a walk thru play the game.
