After his life if of crime, Dingus was punished by the god Asmodingus to push a boulder up numerous hills. After finally escaping his divine tormentor, Dingus swore off crime, instead choosing to assist a struggling pizzeria in protecting their property overnight.
Dingus parole notes: "His low level of intelligence is a challenge, but also lends credence to an argument for low risk of recidivism. Parole is approved.

Yeah, I'm interested in the reinforcement learning and game design stuff, but high-strung enough that even this parodic version startled me pretty badly a few times. Guess I just don't do well with suspense and sudden movements/noises. Which makes sense -- earlier tonight I spotted a spider about a meter away from myself, just innocently climbing out of a container on my desk, and the noise I made _scared the spider away_ somehow. It dived back into the container and hid, which made me a little embarrassed as I picked up the container and (keeping eyes on the spider the entire time so it couldn't climb up onto me) brought it outside to shake the spider out. Ah well, there's a reason why I avoid most 'horror' games and similar (really, I would classify them more as 'terror', as in the acute startling reactions more than the overall creepyness. FNAF is an extremely straightforward example -- it's _all_ 'jumpscares'. There's a few horror media that are more restricted to horror proper that I can handle better, think Fear and Hunger or other games that try to disturb rather than startle).
SMH my head, 0/1000 didn’t even add Gilded Freddingus. Jokes aside, I love how Dingus even picked up things like human paranoia along the way and felt the need to always shine the light down the hallway even if he’s checked every camera a character could be on.
@@username5155 The way you worded the last part ("even if he's checked every camera a character could be on") implied you thought the characters always had to be visible on the cameras.
cant believe you named bonnie dongus instead of the (superior) bingus (i was there during the stream, i remember what the chat was like, people were calling the characters bingus, chingus, and fingus, it was fun!!)
Based on the AI Hide and Seek experiment... I'm guessing by Round 200 it definitely becomes a Tom and Jerry episode with the shenanigans they pull off.
I believe the problem with the doors was caused by reward confusion (specifically, unbalanced rewards): there's a positive reward for closing the door on an enemy, but not negative one for opening it on them. Thus, it is in the AI's interest to open and close the door as many times as possible once it's figured out an enemy is outside. I don't know if Dingus allows you to weight rewards, but if you can: I'd recommend weighting actions that interfere with survival as higher than those that enable it. Thus way, Dingus' first priority will be to not do anything stupid with what it's already set up.
Yeah apologies, I wasn't super clear about rewards and how I handled them. You are correct that I can apply weighted rewards, there is a negative reward for opening the doors when it's unsafe, just like how there's a negative reward for checking other cams when freddingus is at 4b and he eventually seemed to learn that, and the negative reward is higher than the reward for closing the doors when it's dangerous outside (otherwise he'd just spam the doors open and close), but it is interesting how it took a long time for him to stop opening the doors when danger was in front of them compared to how quickly he learned not to check other cams when Freddingus was at 4b.
@@Dingus_Labsperhaps it was just easier to understand that specific scenario was leading to a negative of losing. Opening/closing the door could be leading to a positive or negative or a bigger negative from losing? Just from experience of fnaf I think for a person at least it’s a lot easier to learn say Foxy’s mechanics than any of the others. You know if you look at the camera then you must close the door asap and can open it again right after* Compare that to the others who will appear at the windows or cameras and you have to check those then close the door and when they go is more guesswork than anything else. My two cents is that spamming the door was harder to learn the background mechanics of. For us humans we’ll probably just close the door then wait to check it’s clear and then open it. The AI is having to take many attempts to build that correlation between the mechanics and that spamming is the least optimal strategy.
It would be cool to two ai's learn side by side to get better at a particular pvp challenge and see what strategies they eventually settle on. Steal or split, fps, cops and robbers, zombies vs humans. Lots of potential
You could also go for a adversarial network approach. Not sure if whatever machine learning system Dingus is made in supports that, but I'd love to see that if it does.
I have to admit I feel the same, I did program it as per my understanding of foxy behaviour but I'm starting to wonder if I've gotten the behaviour slightly wrong (wouldn't be the first thing), I will have to look into this further. If there's a glitch it would be with the "lock" during cams mechanic and how resuming movement checks work. It's definitely much more aggressive on night 6 so it's respecting the movement check and level mechanics
My question is - does dingus have a way of understanding sound cues? Does he hear them like we do or does he act based on registering a line of code that activates said sound cur

Put dingus in a desert with very few materials with him to survive, he has to survive specific periods of time, first: small map not to speed out materials and time, last: beeg map with very spread out materials, even going up a ramp and longer time to survive

awesome vid! but can auto english subtitles be enabled? I struggle to watch videos without them, so I would really appreciate the accessibility, thank you >
they SHOULD come online soon, there can be a lag between when youtube publishes the video and when it finishes creating and making the subtitles available!
i wonder if dingus could do a full continuous run of the game, or what would happen if a more advanced dingus retried the first level. would a dingus trained on night 5 be able to beat night 1?
I believe it would, except maybe with an AI that learned to perfectly play 4/20 mode as certain behaviours become consistent then (like the time an enemy remains at a window), honestly I should just do it and see when I've got some time
i think something that made the ai worse is it was being rewarded for closing the door again and again when an enemy was at the door, leading to those games of chicken.
He was punished worse for opening the door when an enemy is in front of it, so playing chicken is a net reward loss. But yeah this quickly ballooned into a super complex project in terms of tweaking rewards, keen to revisit in the future.
I know you do it this way for CONTENT, but cycling Dingus back through the previous levels for every new victory would heavily reinforce the learnable behaviors so he spends less time accidentally fumbling to victory and getting stuck.
It’s also funny learning that fnaf is just DnD but the GM really hates you so the goal isn’t having a fun adventure but surviving the sessions against enemies you can’t fight.
It is an almost completely random and different mechanic from the rest of the game. It would happen at some point but since AI doesn’t react on emotion Dingus would just flip the cams without even knowing what really happened.
@@porterbrown836 @comedyatitsworst answered the question above my reply. Also, if G. Freddingus also rewards AI’s it could accidentally ferment and complement bad decisions.
@@Mayflower-Yev ok, however, counterpoint - dingus could have been very unlucky and never encountered him - what if he doesn't reward him though, like think about it, there's no reward for finding golden freddy aside from bragging rights. he also flips cams up enough to be able to deal with him easily. i don't see the problem with it 👍

Because the AI tought spamming flash at animatronics outside doors is good, they did that instead of closing it
Maybe if he had it on a time limit, like only getting rewarded once every 5 seconds, or only once after seeing an enemy
Lol the ai must be thinking it’s fnaf 2 withered foxy
Yeah my guess is the reason it kept opening and closing doors on animatronics is because it was farming the reward for closing the door.
