Has there been any console pair besides Gameboy and Gameboy color that had games released that would work on both but behave differently on each? Some carts were black and white, some worked only on GBC, but some (like most of all of the pokemon games) would still be black and white on the original but had unique color palettes on GBC.
Looks like the technical term is "Color-enhanced Game Boy Game Pak".
The color-enhanced Game Boy Game Pak (also known as class B, dual mode, or black cartridges) improved the gameplay experience on the Game Boy Color and subsequent systems while maintaining compatibility with older monochrome devices.
These cartridges can use the full color capabilities of the Game Boy Color and subsequent systems, displaying up to 56 colors simultaneously out of a palette of 32,768 while remaining compatible with the original Game Boy where they were presented in four shades of gray. However, this compatibility comes at the expense of not being able to utilize the handheld's increased processing speed and memory.

Compare that to GBA, which had GBA games but could also play Gameboy and Gameboy Color games. But there were no GBA games that could run on Gameboy or Gameboy Color. That weird middle ground might be why they count them together.
And they lied about it on the award application, but yes.
Sounds great, bud! Do it!
Did you see the one where someone trained bots to do crystal pvp on 2b2t? It was fascinating and actually "AI" (not LLM AI but what we would've called AI pre LLM/gen AI lol). I don't remember much else. Basically the bots actually saw the screen, not at full resolution, but enough to really see and move and attack players in a very advanced way. (Crystal PVP involves putting down end crystals and detonating them, it's much more involved than just clicking with a sword or aiming arrows.)
Sort of already exists as Baritone. https://github.com/cabaletta/baritone I'm not sure what all it can and can't do but it's pretty sophisticated.
Edit: Note that, as far as I know, none of it is AI in the modern usage of the term.
AI took that too! Oops all joblessness! 🤩
If you're applying for an award that asks "were toxic ingredients used at any point while making this cake" because part of the culture of the award is not using toxic ingredients, then yeah, you need to disclose that you used toxic ingredients.
Space Station 14 is a blast. If you're really interested in hosting it though you might need a larger friend group. I think you'd need maybe 10 or so people before it actually feels interesting.
Edit: There are plenty of public servers to play on too.
Remember when the argument for self driving cars was that they don't need to be perfect, just better than humans?
I don't know anywhere you can actually sell it back to the network, usually they just give you credits that deduct future payments, so you can't ever get money out of it. But maybe that's only some places.
