The wisdom of crowds a.k.a. doing your own experiments
Matt has developed Mosaic Challenge, an interactive multiplayer game that demonstrates collective intelligence. In the game, players are asked to choose whether a tile is black or not in real-time. The wisdom of crowds becomes apparent as the image gradually forms with each player's input. However, challenges arise when there is no clear goal, leading to random decisions and loss of detail. Matt has shared the code on GitHub for others to try and experiment with. He is curious about how this game would work in larger groups, such as at a conference, and invites feedback from those who have tried it live.
