Don't let DARPA find out about this or we'll have a public-private partnership between Valve and Raytheon operating functional manhack arcades in the next half life installment.
This reminds me of the time DARPA crowd sourced sub hunting drone testing in Dangerous Waters.

They already funded MMO's like EverQuest through Sony Online Entertainment / Verant Interactive, Inc. This was to facilitate the research for live battle "simulations" using the same technology for "theater operations." When I was researching this, I found a surprising amount of DoD/DARPA related funding into 3D graphics, and games.
It kind of gave me an uncanny valley vibe of irony, in the sense that my mind went to a place of a cosmic joke that the Demiurge was an AGI born out of these efforts and it's been live for who knows how long. But yeah, that's just my crazy side on the second part...

I know not with what weapons Half-Life III will be fought, but Half-Life IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
Ha ha, just kidding, they'll never make Half-Life 3.

Yes very useful because bottleneck in nanoparticle and organic chemistry research is definitely a shitty online metaverse, now CERN researchers can finally come together to innovate!
What is the motivation for gaming companies to use this “thin layer API” in their games? Do they get a cut of some funding pool, or just some good karma?
Could this be implemented as a Captcha? From what I've heard bots can solve current image based versions better than humans anyway.
If you can turn the problem into a game you've already solved it.. don't see the value here (except saving compute time by using humans for pattern recognition instead of computers).
Not necessarily; take protein folding for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foldit#Accomplishments
might want to rethink the logo if they don't want people to think it's a microsoft project

Interesting example of a “the more you read the less you understand” website!
The video has more information, but even the video has a lot of filler, so start from 2:12.

Reminds me of Daemon by Daniel Suraez
but is it possible to try this outside pay-to-play games?
