New model uses Rock-Paper-Scissors to illustrate tech disruption pitfalls

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new research paper proposes a model for technological disruption using a modified game of Rock-Paper-Scissors, incorporating a "Dynamite" move. The study found that giving this versatile move to only one player in the game resulted in a marginal increase in win probability and was rarely utilized. The research also highlighted how new technologies can render existing strategies obsolete and offered insights for developers to avoid creating mere capabilities without actual value. AI
