17 Aug 2026, 9:05 PM	Import AI	6.0	Import AI 469: Science AI; RSI simulator; and Zuck's technological pessimism Import AI 469 covers DiG-bench (Discovery in Games), a new benchmark of 70 text-based games where rules and objectives are hidden and must be uncovered through interaction, designed by researchers from Oxford, Princeton, MIT, Inria, KAUST, Swiss AI Lab, and Thinking About Thinking (including Juergen Schmidhuber). Most games are kept private to prevent contamination, all are human-beatable but difficult, and current frontier models cannot solve them — measuring whether AI can infer environmental mechanics through curiosity-driven exploration rather than being told the rules. Why: If you build AI agents that operate in novel environments, DiG-bench gives you a concrete way to test whether your agent can discover unwritten rules through exploration rather than relying on explicit instructions — a capability gap that today's frontier models still fail at. The private game set means you can evaluate against uncontaminated tasks at digbench.ai rather than benchmarks your model may have already trained on. ai-benchmarks ai-agents evaluation rule-discovery
