How is having somebody play this modified tetris better than having a computer do it, (and do it thousands of times faster too)?

    Great question. It's not better, but it's different. And different is useful for drug discovery, where you need to create a rich portfolio of possible designs.

    Humans play games in unique ways. We link the Tetris game to DNA design, and the more diversity we can harvest in high-quality Tetris play, the more diversity we can explore in high-quality DNA design. So we will combine AI play and human play at the end.

    And tbh partly it's to help get more people on the platform.

Nothing is crazy in 2025.

Have you considered reaching out to the existing tetris community and having them donate their 2-3h runs to science? There has been great progress lately in some godly players reaching and beating the kill stage that's been around as a show stopper for years.
