Hi,
Prolog and Haskell dream the same stupid
old farts symbolic only dream. With the
power of giants such as Simon Peyton Jones
and Guy Steele, there is even an attempt
for a new language "Verse" sponsored by a Game
company and a game developer CEO. Wikipedia
wants to delete the article, for lack of
notability:
Verse (programming language)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verse_%28programming_language%29
But the AI inflection point also hits the
game industry right now. Intel Meteor Lake
seems to be more a blown up Smartphone CPU
than a shrinked down Desktop CPU:
MSI Claw 8 AI+

The CPU has RTX (Ray Trancing) and AI Accelerator
(Intels take on an NPU). It seems it can run
XBOX games. But it opens a door to a new breed
of games. Traditionally, all game AIrCofrom a Goomba
in Mario to the diplomacy in CivilizationrCohas run
on the CPU. Developers had to be very frugal
with AI calculations because they were competing
for CPU time with physics, game logic, audio, and more.
In Modern "Simulation-Heavy" Games, The AI for every
single "agent" (car, pedestrian) is relatively
simple, but simulating tens of thousands of them
is a massive CPU load. The future might see
pretrained agents, similar like AlphaGo was built,
or even better AlphaZero. It moves game AI from
being a scripted actor to being a genuine opponent.
