Rigging the ship…
AN ADVENTURE IN INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS · SIX VOYAGES
The Northlight lighthouse has gone dark. Your ship has an AI mind that nobody has tested. It has an old sea map, the chart, and a crew waiting for orders. Sail the ship. Tell the AI what is true. Connect its tools. Decide what it may do alone.
A game to help you understand AI. Every part you give the ship’s mind is one real idea about how AI systems work, and every voyage shows you why it matters.
