stuff that's taking brain compute — a few concepts/references sparking curiosity for broad study of agent interactions (humans to AI to hybrid) as multi-player games: - Game theory (as in initial posts) offers tools to dissect conflict/cooperation when participants interact repeatedly, have conflicting goals, and make interdependent choices. Yet it addresses solely rational agents, while humans/AI systems have sub/un-conscious, social, emotional dynamics interacting with strategic drives. Mapping these necessitates venturing beyond game theory’s usual abstractions.
