A few notes: I know this is not the kind of content you subscribed for. If this is not your cup of tea, don't worry! This is just a one off. There were a lot of uhs and ums and a few stumbles, so I know I have a lot to improve to become an actually good public speaker. Keep in mind this was my first ever experience like this, in a second language to boot. You may also notice that I rushed the last 10 minutes of the presentation a bit. This is because I ran over schedule: the talk was scheduled to last about 45 minutes. I missed earlier time warnings and only noticed the 2-minute warning when I had about a quarter of the presentation left. Thankfully, the timeslot after mine was the lunch break, so I didn't cause any delays, but this is why the last section goes by a bit too fast. Finally, yes, the pandemic and full time work from home haven't been kind to my shape in the last 3 years... 😳

Clarke's Three Laws: 1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, they are almost certainly right. When they state that something is impossible, they are very probably wrong. 2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. 3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

I've long thought of TAS as being a very, very niche branch of mathematics. You're given an algorithm, and your goal is to find a set of inputs that will get the algorithm to output the desired result. The A Button Challenge can be summarized as, "Does there exist a sequence of inputs with zero A presses that can complete Super Mario 64?" (for varying definitions of "complete"). Real time speedrunning is obviously more of an athletic thing, but TAS is pure theory.

I'm only 20 minutes in, but I wanted to leave a comment before I forget: When I heard that you'd be doing a presentation on the science of speedrunning, my first thought (coming from a machine learning/AI background) was that since speedrunning is an optimization problem, it can demonstrate a lot of ideas relevant to optimization in general, which is applicable to basically any field. For example, something very relevant to machine learning is the idea that the optimal policy usually brings you to the edge of the configuration space; in other words, extreme actions (glitches, exploits, etc) are disproportionately useful. This is extremely important in machine learning, because you usually don't want your AI to "break the game" when it comes to real-world applications, but it is essentially the default in things like physics simulations that it will be disproportionately rewarded for misbehaving (free energy from rounding errors, for example). I think it's really, really cool how glitch hunting is directly relevant to cutting edge scientific research nowadays. Personally, it's an improbable confluence of ideas I'm interested in!

The history of the A button challenge series is something I would deeply reccommend you to watch, it's incredibly well made and explains a lot of Mario 64's mechanics, plus the limitation of reducing the uses of the A button to a minimum can lead to incredible discoveries that you otherwise wouldn't have found. It's also very interesting when it's the other way around, with discoveries unrelated with the A button challenge being applied to it

Whenever my parents or friends see me watch a speed run, their first question is usually "How do they manage to find this stuff." The answer I always give is "They have the same knowledge and skills as the people who MAKE the games." I know that's not always true since some people accidentally find them, but I feel like when it comes to full glitch hunters and theory-crafters, that's a decent quick answer to give.

Absolutely! And in some cases, glitch-finding requires skills outside the regular toolset of a game designer/game programmer. For example, ACE requires computer security / infosec skills, i.e. binary exploitation & software reverse engineering.

@@tbotalpha8133 it's also exponentially easier for consumers to accidently find something going wrong by the virtue of the player number. What 100 QA testers can do in 100 hours will most likely be outdone by the 100000 general consumer in the first hour or two. Which is part of the reason why open beta used to be so popular (now replaced by the "release first fix later" policy)

I was skeptical about the premise of the presentation, but you won me over at the end with the "toy model" concept. Each video game is it's own little universe with its own exploits which can be discovered and we can use to our advantage; just like how we have discovered fundamental properties about our universe, and exploit those discoveries to our advantage (modern technology, medicine, etc). Great presentation Bismuth, happy to see you expanding your channel like this.

Excellent talk. One criticism: I think the last part slide about gaming not being useless could be expounded. Personally, I know tons of other software engineers who got into computer science because of important interactions with games as a child. I remember the MissingNo glitch being the coolest thing as a kid. Or waking up daily to Halo2/Halo3 forums to see if any cool new glitches (e.g. super bouncing) were found. Even less coding-based challenges in gaming, like optimizing a build order in StarCraft. So this got me as a kid interested in how computers work, then playing WoW and being amazed and interested in how the in-game macro system worked (through Lua-based APIs) got me actually "coding" for the first time... and then eventually I became a software engineer. I think something along this lines would really tie the knot on the talk. How it can be inspiring to kids, and how it can develop a mindset that sets them up for success in the future. As stated, the perspective is more how it gives an interesting outlet for adults/people already with the skills, when I think the perspective should be shifted to how it can develop and introduce these skills to people--these skills that are usually despised by people who grow up thinking math is boring and that they hate it, but they see that it can be fun.

I did something similar a few years ago as part of an assignment for English Composition. The assignment was about making an argumentative essay as part of learning how to avoid some composition mistakes we don't usually notice, so the essay's theme wasn't very important. My theme was about how video games can be an educational tool and how they can teach everyday skills better than books. Parts of my argument were that books only give theoretical knowledge, as they don't always provide an environment where you can put the skills learned into practice, and how plain text alone doesn't retain the reader's attention very well, which means they don't remember the information they just read. I used Overcooked as an example of a video game teaching you life skills. I said that Overcooked won't teach you how to become a cook, but it will teach you teamwork, how to divide tasks to maximize efficiency, and how to deal with unexpected situations, and it does so not by spelling it out to you, but by making you practice those skills constantly. My teacher loved my essay and I got a high grade for it.

What you're doing for speedrunning as a whole, and specially for TAS is going to have huge effects for sure, at least that's what I really hope. I'm saving this video for whenever I need to fully explain why I love TASing to someone lol

I think the topic and content of this lecture was really good and relevant! Some constructive feedback would be: Spend more time emphasising how speedrunning works as a toy model rather than spending almost the entire talk on specific speedrun examples (I'm aware of the timing mishap though, this may have been the intention). It might be best to structure the talk as definitions > speedrun example > educational implication > second speedrunning example as sample lesson plan. You could also have spent much more time on examples of people/commenters going on into science from a speedrun background. Additionally another section that may be relevant is on games like chess, checkers and go, and how the process and techniques developed in solving/optimising computer play have been applied more broadly. On that note it may even be worth fleshing out how general research, even on things that seem useless of trivial, often find their application in unexpected ways down the line, and this also applies to the process of developing TASs

Amazing talk! More than uhms and ahms, work on avoiding the rising intonation (uptalk) if you want to sound more confident, but don't overthink it, you did great! One suggestion is, when mentioning that speedrunning is "meaningless", to add that sports are also meaningless (nothing happens when a soccer ball touches a net), yet humanity has formed a culture around them and they have pushed scientific pursuit nevertheless. Developing optimization algorithms and developing more aerodynamic suits for swimmers to break new barriers is within the same realm of competition, science and testing human limits. :)

I would love to watch more like that. I'm not speedrunning myself but since I saw Summoning Salts Video on Mario Karts Choco Mountain shortcut I'm fascinated by Speedrunnning itself so I really appreciated the talk and would love to have more content regarding speedrunning in general.

Ok as a young indie dev and someone who plays games with small Speedrunning communities, this is one of my new favorite channels, I love it so much

This is an amazing presentation that has a lot wisdom baked in which people may not intuitively recognize if they're already part of the community. It has me thinking about applying the same scientific approach used in speed running to the topic of educational communications. Hear me out... Imagine, if you will, lectures such as this one being treated in the same manner as an individual speedrun- the broader community learns from it and builds upon it, suggesting tweaks to the script or alternative examples to give in the presentation, with the ultimate goal of making it as clear, as concise, as engaging and as entertaining as it can possibly be (perhaps using text to speech instead of having a physical presenter being recorded, to aid in faster iteration). I know an approach similar to this is taken by university professors and school teachers who are repeating the same lessons year after year for new groups of students, however this video has me thinking about how this could be applied in a wider sense to teach just about anything to anyone. Imagine how useful an open source, community curated, video version of Wikipedia would be, where you can reliably find the most up-to-date, agreed upon information being conveyed in the most efficient and effective way, where anyone can apply a suggested improvement to an existing presentation without needing to first become an expert in public speaking and video editing, and everyone else can further build upon their work.

been skipping this video over for days now. "Not for me," I thought. "I'm not thaaat into speedrunning what could possibly be in this talk to captivate me for an hour?" I thought. Well, this is awesome and I am captivated
