GPT-2 is done It took a LOT, but pretty much every little feature and my thought process are documented, and I learned a ton. It only waits for a full pretraining -- end of week I promise. All credit to @karpathy , I only added comments making it 2head accesible.

@ZFellows_ This is such a dangerous lie, but also an important life guidance.. Always struggle to be the best you can, put in the hours, sweat and tears. But also know, that it will not be fair, and there will be people putting way less hours, way better than you.

@onxydeux @perrikaryal In principle: 1. You record a lot of EEG, and synchronized game controls 2. You either train a neural net or build a heuristic that differentiates between different types of recorded brainwave events and map them to control inputs 3. You test and tweak it 4.
