Good because unnecessary state is the source of much evil.

Even if we cannot do everything in functional, we should at least strive to clearly extract functional substes in what we do.

Used e.g. by Oxford Quantum Circuits, www.linkedin.com/in/john-dumbell-627454121/ mentions:

Presumably the point of it is to allow simulation in classical computers?

This is a term "invented" by Ciro Santilli to refer to quantum compilers that are able to convert non-specifically-quantum (functional, since there is no state in quantum software) programs into quantum circuit.

The term is made by adding "quantum" to the more "classical" concept of "high-level synthesis", which refers to software that converts an imperative program into register transfer level hardware, typicially for FPGA applications.

This is an important metric, because it takes some time for the quantum operations to propagate, and so the depth of a circuit gives you an idea of how long the coherence time a hardware needs to support a given circuit.

Game AI is an artificial intelligence that plays a certain game.

It can be either developed for serious purposes (e.g. AGI development in AI games), or to make games for interesting for humans.

We define this category as AI games in which agents are able to produce or consume natural language.

It dawned on Ciro Santilli that it would be very difficult to classify an agent as an AGI if tthat agent can't speak to take orders, read existing human generated documentation, explain what it is doing, or ask for clarification.

Interesting layer skip architecture thing.

Apparently destroyed ImageNet 2015 and became very very famous as such.

This section is about ideas that are thought to be part of an AGI system.
