Transcription of a recording made with Tomoya Tachikawa on 2019-08-15, transcribed on 2024-03-15 by [Have Claude 3 Opus summarize

- Tachikawa and Nishio first played the board game "[[Spaghetti Code]]". - This game is a competitive programming game that challenges your logical thinking skills. - During play, Mr. Tachikawa suggested that it would be more interesting to watch the advanced players play rather than actually play this game. - Mr. Nishio agreed and suggested that we hold a competition for this game.

• Next, Mr. Nishio reported on his business trip to Shenzhen.

  • The robot battle competition “RoboMaster” was particularly impressive.
  • A team of Chinese university students was playing an advanced game against each other using AR technology and other techniques.
  • Hearing this, Mr. Tachikawa suggested that such a convention should be held in Japan as well.

• Nishio also found an interesting system at a library in Shenzhen.

  • Users select a book of their choice at a bookstore, the library pays for the book, and the user borrows the book for a certain period of time before donating it to the library.
  • This is said to make the library’s collection more efficient in terms of the books that users need.
  • Mr. Tachikawa said this should be incorporated in Japan as well.

• Changing the subject, the two of us analyzed the mechanism of “awareness” that Mr. Tachikawa has recently felt.

  • I hypothesized that when I felt “I see” about a certain matter, I would notice similarities with my own past experiences.

• Finally, we played a cooperative game, The Game.

  • During the play, Nishio and Tachikawa actively communicated with each other and worked together to understand the intent of each other’s comments and proceeded with the game.
  • Although we exceeded the time limit, we were able to reduce the deck to the remaining 9 cards.

This is a summary of the entire dialogue between Mr. Tachikawa and Mr. Nishio. Thought-provoking discussions were held on a wide variety of topics, including board games, robot competitions, library systems, and analysis of thoughts.
