About this page:

The idea and the algorithm are Aaronson's, and the lineage is Hagelbarger's and Shannon's. This page is a teaching version of their work, and it is not affiliated with any of them. Prior web implementations exist and are credited in reference 6.

Built by Spencer Stanton as plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript. No framework, no build step, no analytics, and nothing about you leaves your browser: your session is held in localStorage and nowhere else.

(Scott's name is mentioned at the bottom)

Stanton should say something about how long he's practised to write exactly like a mainstream LLM, surely his effort in resisting the urge to edit this page for length must have been heroic: it is worth a mention.

This is, effectively, the game that branch predictors in CPUs are playing with your code. Except that, in that version of the game, you win when the CPU guesses correctly.

Branch predictors aren’t playing a game in the sense of this game, because the code isn’t adversarially trying to be unpredictable.

I remember a rock paper scissors AI decades ago that did something similar.

Such a cool concept and demonstration, but utterly exhausting to read the claudeslop.

Very much so, this is waay too long. Sadly there's no wikipedia article to link to in its place.

I stayed around 50% for hundreds of presses. Not sure what I did right/wrong.
