Simulating the Evolution of Teamwork
🕑 Added 2023-12-15 00:13:32 +0000 UTCHey Insiders,
Here's the next video! It will release publicly on Saturday, assuming no major edits are needed.
The scope changed a lot as I was working on this one. When it began, I was planning to do a video on conditional strategies and introduce the concept of an Evolutionarily Stable Strategy (ESS). But after working on it for a while, I felt it made more sense to cover mixed strategies first. But after working on THAT for a while, I decided it would be best to focus on pure, unconditional strategies, but explore all the possible types of reward matrices to get the best groundwork around what at ESS is. In a way, this is the video I would have made instead of Simulating the Evolution of Aggression if I had been more experienced with evolutionary bio at the time. Hopefully it feels different enough, and with this video done, I think there's a strong base on which to do more videos about evolutionary games (which I expect to focus on for the next few videos).
Thanks as always for your support! I'll do another post for the December update and yearly retrospective soon.
