    Oh no! Stratego had been on my mind as something we just hadn't tried hard enough to make a winning bot for, including the DeepMind effort from 2022. I was planning to make the first one.

    I thought this was slightly less crank-coded than trying to prove the Riemann Hypothesis, but maybe these days you just ask Claude to do that and it tells you there's a counterexample at 1 + πi that no one ever noticed before.

      I think now it's a good time for people to work on the Riemann hypothesis. There are actually a lot of ideas, no one knows if any of them goes anywhere--but I don't think it's completely impossible to make progress especially with new tools haha.
