AI Learns to steal

[@bitblit]

I imagine Dingus was given no memory which explains why Dingus immediately moves on when objects fall out of view. With that in mind, going up the staircase and jumping off is actually a brilliant strategy because that path has more visual coverage than anywhere else in the room.

[@cardboardking577]

Dingus hasn't developed object permeance

⁠AI learns to get around short term memory loss

[@Yesnaught]

I think it's more likely that he recognises moving valuables is rewarding, but does not realise he gets *more* for completing delivery.

[@Bulldogg6404]

I am on board with this theory @bitblit, also in supposing that there's rewarding going on for exploration. It seems that Dingus does not know where all the valuable items are from the start and must first locate them, which would suggest that any maneuver which drastically gathers information about where the valuable items are (such as eliminating the most space without valuable items) is rewarding enough to do repeatedly.

[@ToonedMinecraft]

I'd be interested in seeing Dingus try to rob from completely different buildings with this same training.

His addiction to boulder rolling has led Dingus to a life of crime.

[@SkillfulLupus]

if i ever see 3 stairs i will now purposefully avoid the middle one at all times even if it's an easier path

[@neoncreeper1287]

all future dinguses should be granted small rewards for doing sick flips from staircases because those really were some sick flips

[@McTuber42]

I wonder if Dingus would be able to easily generalize to new maps, or if he's just learned how to beat these particular maps. Future video idea?

[@Dingus_Labs]

It's a good question, I'm curious myself, my guess would be he'd likely need to learn a wider pool of maps if new ones were substantially different. But I have a trained model now so I can stick it into some new maps and see how it behaves

[@justletmefailinpeace9099]

@@Dingus_Labs That might make a decent follow up video to this one. Just following the adventures of Dingus the Thief as he robs a liquor store of all its speakers.

[@Squarepy]

@@Dingus_LabsI feel like you shouldve added a guard that also trained like dingus but catching dingus instead and the guard traine dsame rate as dingus and was named "Bingus"

[@enjoyestenjoyer]

I think the reason he kept going down the stairs was because he got rewarded for going fast, and falling was the fastest way to move in his reality.

[@No_thanks_you]

Looking back at it now it looks like an addiction

[@Fighting.Flower]

I love the part where Dingus starts chugging wine and shoves the speaker as far as he can under the table. I can picture an actual incompetent thief getting wine drunk and violently proceed to force the electronics under furniture.

[@vrchhu4066]

I have a feeling the stairway loop has something to do with the reward system in some way. Maybe pushing down a valuable generates a high reward value as opposed to just nudging it like in the beginning, since it travels much closer to the car, thus leading Dingus to associate the stairway with that rewards spike.

[@kolmo3182]

I think your right... Is the moving items closer to the door working right? It looked like he would get close enough to git the reward and then run off 😅

[@Dingus_Labs]

could be right there, I tried to keep the "move the object towards the entrance" reward low so that it wouldn't overly impact later behaviours in training that got much higher rewards, but it may still have had a long term impact on his behaviours.

[@kolmo3182]

@@Dingus_Labs sounds like it's going to be a reset, go back a save, or remove the reward and penalty for moving it until you can bend hem back some. but most of the time unless it's part of the mission to keep the IA's memories intact it well take 5 or 6 times longer to unlearn something then restart sadly

[@vrchhu4066]

@@Dingus_Labs maybe if you make the hitbox of the van for putting away the loot really tall and have dingus track the closest path that could solve it? Then the items descending due to gravity wouldn't generate as many points

[@punishedkid]

9:13 Reminds me of video game speedrun brute forcers that find crazy tricks like this by testing every possible permutation of inputs. Very cool discovery.

[@FeverBonus]

iirc, this also happened in the Open AI hide and seek demo. The seekers learned to abuse the physics engine to launch themselves over obstacles, even though they only had directional inputs to work with.

[@Dingus_Labs]

I remember that vid, such a classic.

[@r.henryjr.1533]

Sounds cool, what's the video?

[@icebreaker690]

If he struggles with this imagine this with guards

[@emilygordbort7300]

You should've told Dingus he was an artist, he would've figured out how to steal 50% faster

[@zacharymacleod1146]

I want to see one with two competing AIs training concurrently, like a cop AI vs a robber AI

[@thinkublu]

I actually wonder how that'd go, huh Whether they are even capable of adapting to each other

[@SusDoctor]

I love how dingus was literally just any player of a game goofy around at the start

[@agent4461]

5:10 this just makes me want to see “teaching an AI how to become an alcoholic”

[@nathanreeder9716]

Honestly, I’m surprised it went so smoothly. My guess is that you left out a lot of the trial and error that I know goes into this-I’ve heard of people running simulations for literal days and coming out with an ai that was only slightly better than before.

[@Dingus_Labs]

There were 67 prior runs performed before I had a model that was reliable enough I was happy to make a video with! I had to redesign reward functions and the actual gameplay a few times as part of that and tweak a lot of hyperparameters, I also for the first time needed to increase the number of hidden layers to 4 this time before I saw really good progress. A number of my earlier attempts did yield an AI that could solve all levels, but not reliably enough for my liking!

[@Memer9456]

[@bingusbongus9807]

seeing how high he got id love to see a video that rewards him for height but has no obvious ways to do it too see if he can wall run consistantly

[@ninjakiwigames5418]

So glad I watched your old videos before you removed them. You've improved a lot!

[@Dingus_Labs]

thank you! The old vids are still available on a playlist for the channel, I just wanted some level of seperation because the new content is pretty different in format to the old content and felt them being intermingled could cause some confusion.

[@BobsiTutorial]

Great video as always. Would love to get something like this setup and play around with it in multiplayer. Could be interesting to see the AI having some basic understanding from the beginning, and then see how quickly it can learn. Like a tutorial or intro sequence for us mortalt. So for example a pre-recorded playthrough but with the AI still getting the rewards prior to the AI taking control, just so it got a "taste" of what works and what doesn't. A kickstart one might call it.

I see that these balls keep rolling for a moment after being pushed (with a possibility of getting the off-screen score?). Maybe he pushed something and it went through the entrance (off-screen) while he was climbing the stairs, which created a big bias early on? 😀And made him stairs loving player😀

i think Dingus confused the moving loot closer to the exit with doing sick flips so now he has found a new purpose in life.

i think he kept doing kick flips because he associated the reward not with the wine but instead with the drop off the stairs

[@N3RDZ4LIF3]

I refuse to believe it's a coincidence that the ai is named dingus, the gum was james', and the video was followed by a short video of a pet doing silly things. Please be some sort of dankpods reference.

[@Dingus_Labs]

Oh my god I did not make the james connection until you mentioned it! I discovered dankpods this year after a few sad things happened and am hugely grateful that I did, Dingus already had his name by then, but I'm originally from South Australia as well so we share some of the same slang. The pet at the end is inspired by dankpods though, we got our puppy this year and I had too many videos of him being a complete goof to not add them!

[@N3RDZ4LIF3]

@Dingus_Labs I love that at least one of the things I mentioned was actually inspired by dankpods. If you haven't already, definitely check out all his other channels. I'm sorry to hear about the tough times, but I'm glad you made it through and wish you nothing but the best.
