gollark: I don't think you saw the number I just posted.
gollark: Unfortunately, it has to run in your browser and I don't have much compute, so I can't use very state-of-the-art methods like muzero. Not that I know how that works in much detail.
gollark: If people keep winning, I WILL be forced to actually implement a good AI.
gollark: Well, my computer doesn't have enough memory to hold those, and it would be hard to generate the optimal moves for each of them anyway.
