for the longest time, i did know that game theory did not have anything to do with "games" and that it is somehow connected to the prisoners dilemma, but the concept as such wasn't very clear to me. If you are like my former me, take 30 minutes out of your day and visit https://ncase.me/trust/ to learn and play around with game theory; it's a great webpage and it's pretty good fun all around.
We have game theory as an a elective at my uni, the amount of people who signed up for game theory instead of game design is staggering
Those people would benefit from game theory then. Game theory is all about using the information available to make the best possible choice.
If you want to learn about games you want combinatorial game theory. Traditional game theory isn't completely divorced from real games either, but comes up more often in economics.
Why would I play game theory when I can play actual games?? It’s like reading about sex positions when your horny naked fwb is right next to you, I tells ya!
Some people definitely need to read more fucktheory.
I'm indifferent to the content, but I fucking hate that they took the name Game Theory. I can't talk about this genuinely fascinating topic just about anywhere without kids screaming about the channel.
I was actually kinda disappointed when I found out that Game Theory had nothing to do with games, and was actually just math. 😩
This is why you should read Ender's Game before you're allowed to watch YouTube.
Game theory final exam:
You will receive full marks if you answer all questions correctly and at least 70% of the class chooses the "Full Marks" strategy.
If you answer all questions correctly but fewer than 70% of the class chooses the "Full Marks" strategy, your grade will be 90%
You will receive half marks if you answer all questions correctly but at least 30% of the class chooses the "Half Marks" strategy.
If you choose this strategy and the class distribution aligns as specified, your grade will be 50% irrespective of the correctness of your answers.
You will receive a failing grade if you choose the "Fail" strategy or if your answers are incorrect and less than 30% of the class chooses the "Fail" strategy.
If you choose the "Fail" strategy and at least 30% of the class also chooses the "Fail" strategy, you will receive a special incentive: Automatic 'A' grade in the next course module, regardless of your performance in this exam.
Additionally, if more than 70% of the class chooses "Fail" or "Half Marks" strategies combined, everyone will fail regardless of individual choices.
I think you need an inverse incentive:
If you are the only one to use "Fail" strategy, you finish with 100% and everybody's result will be mutliplied by 0.8
It’s gotta be a joke. I hope.
I took the lambdas in the username to mean theyre a functional programming fan, pretty sure they're joking.
it could also just be a fan of half life and they actually don’t know any better
possibly also just greek I guess
Alex McNeilly is about as Greek as it gets
Lambda is also a symbol of queer activism. Don't know if that's the intention here, just the first thing I think of.
It is the joke.
I took Game Theory and the professor's first name was Patrick. Some ID for something related to the course (that he chose himself) was "patmath".
It's been a thing for a century, YouTubers didn't invent words.

That's what I hoped, but none of the commentors seemed to be in on it.
Imagine the disappointment of a young Anarchist after joining a Chaos Theory class.
The game theory course at my university was called "Poker 101"
