So arguably the Pac-Man ghost logic is the exact opposite of “AI”.
It’s extremely well defined behavior based on very basic deterministic algorithms that are so simple a 8-year old player can understand them and anticipate them correctly for those high-scores.
The game actually is famous for the simple enemy logic and studied by games designers for it.
Pac-Man enemy behavior:
deterministic, well-defined algorithm that can easily be executed on the most primitive* computer hardware
“AI”:
black-box algorithm with indeterministic behavior that requires a metric shitload of compute
—
*By “primitive computer hardware” I mean that the Pac-Man arcade machine runs on a Zilog Z80 CPU with 8,500 transistors.The CPU in the phone you are reading this on has (latest iPhone as example) 15 billion transistors or so (almost 2 million times more) and runs tens of thousands of times faster.

Jake Adelstein on Instagram: "The Salaryman who once sustained the Japanese economy is a thing of the past. His beloved pomade, Mandom, is no longer. But somewhere in Kansai, Sakamoto Koseido (阪本高生堂), a company with a longstanding history in barber and salon products, is keeping the dream alive. COCK⚡️GREASE can be purchased easily for rockabilly fans, goth rock stars, or the few remaining salarymen with uncontrollable hair who need a no-nonsene gel. Your hair: COCK⚡️GREASE will "Keep it up all day!!" It's XXXTRA HARD. The pomade is pineapple scented. But don't cry tears of joy when you use it; it's water soluble."

I was late to pick my daughter up from camp because #NYCParks closed a huge portion of Corona-Meadows Flushing Park. Apparently for some kind of music festival. There was, of course, no bike detour. The area has highways running through it, and the bridges over the highways are cordoned off. How do you get to

View from an overpass bridge sidewalk, showing a chain-link fence at the end completely blocking access to the park. In the background, trees and the big.. I don' t even know what they are, sculptures?
A sign for KeineMusik Soulection, saying "there will be restricted park access july 21st - july 31st to the following areas: skate park, festival grounds, ny state pavilion, garden of meditation, and surrounding areas. The map shows an area of the park bordered by the Long Island Expressway (a highway) on one side, the Grand Central Parkway (a highway) on another side.
A pedstrian overpass entrance, showing 3 offset chain-link fences close together so that you can barely fit a bike (or stroller/wheelchair, for that matter).

Louvre: Relaxing Hardware Requirements of Quantum LDPC Codes by Routing with Expanded Quantum Instruction Set
Generalized bicycle codes (GB codes) represent a promising family of quantum low-density parity-check codes, characterized by high code rates and relatively local qubit connectivity. A subclass of the GB code called bivariate bicycle codes (BB codes) has garnered significant interest due to their compatibility with two-layer connectivity architectures on superconducting quantum processors. However, one key limitation of BB codes is their high qubit connectivity degree requirements (degree 6), w…

I started the morning with the objective of putting the plants we brought from our old house into our new yard. But I quickly realized all the tools I needed were sprinkled throughout my disorganized garage. So I spent 3 hours ripping out old cabinets left by the previous owners to make some space and then hunting through our piles of stuff to find the garden tools. Got most of it organized, so at least I can actually put my hands on stuff. A small step forward.
