The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense.

@@Omnicrom Fiction has to make sense? Ok on a surface level I get what you MEAN but like. No. It doesn't. There are plenty of works of fiction that don't make sense. Course there is an argument to be made for the difference between intentionally vague vs just bad writing. And anything inbetween. (It's 3 am where I am. Im doing good to keep my thoughts together atm so sorry if im not making much sense.)

@@Guardian-of-Light137 You're being kinda pedantic but I like pedantry so here's some argumentatin': Fiction has to make sense because of the suspension of disbelief-- I guess you could say fiction has to have _internal_ consistency, or else it'll lose the viewers/readers/players if it just randomly pulls "AND IT WAS HIS EVIL TWIN SABOTAGING HIM BY STEALING HIS FAME ALL ALONG!!!!" In fiction, if you pull that off, you're either going to delight your audience as they suddenly remember a bunch of foreshadowing that was eyebrow-raising and maybe for vindicating their theory, or you're going to get roasted for being a worse hack than Uwe Boll or something. There isn't such a threshold IRL: we hear something that's _improbable_ and we tend to assume it's impossible and call it fake (sometimes for good reasons, sometimes because we don't want to). --unless someone's a conspiracy theorist but those idiots believe in secret illuminati satanists eating adrenal glands from children like in that one 70's sci-fi book and that aliens built the pyramids with dinosaurs.

@@Guardian-of-Light137 Even fiction that doesn't make sense has to have certain consistencies within itself and its inconsistencies or it isn't well written. If stuff just happens without any consideration for what's happening it ain't good fiction. In writing even nonsense has to be sensible even if it makes no sense.

@@neoqwerty yeah, it's clearly oversimplified at first, for example a codemy of error has to no make sense in multiple instances. But it make sense in the way it delivers a clear message.

@@blizyon30fps86 nope, saying Dreams run was 1 in a quadrillion chance(which dream disputes) does not prove its cheating. You have to prove its impossible like was done here(in this case they generated all possible chests). This actual cheater calling Dream out actually makes Dream only more believable as cheaters often want to discredit legitimate runners.

​@@gabrielallen6827 The reason why it cannot be completely proven is because all evidence is empirical. It is legitimately impossible to say whether Dream cheated without a shadow of doubt just off of the footage from the runs when it comes to events that are purely probabilistic(drops from blazes). So yeah, they can't "prove it" because it cannot be proven with the data that the verifiers have. However, you can be pretty goddamn sure that it was cheated when the odds are as bad as Dream's were. Also, the 1 in 1 quintillion had to do with the raw empirical data, which is derivable using simply binomial theorems. The verifiers did a solid and brought that number down to a 1 in 7 trillion iirc using more advanced statistical methods. Anyway, it doesn't matter because Dream has already confessed to it.

@@gabrielallen6827 Dream legit admitted to cheating how tf is that "not proven"??? It's fully proven and the odds are so high no one could possibly be that lucky!

youtube commentator discovers statistics

Welcome to statistics

intuitively, it totally makes sense. if you have a minute or two, you can understand it quickly if you imagine it like so: if while playing you achieve something that has 5% chance to happen , then you're now in the "reality where you know that this 5% event occurred in the game". now, after that insane achievement, you continue playing . after a few minutes, you achieve another insanely lucky event that has 5% chance to happen in general , and this event is entirely independent of the first one. this makes it that, intuitively, you've achieved a 5% success chance event inside the "current world", the one in which you KNOW that the 5% first event occurred, so you actually need 5% INSIDE the world that ALREADY NEEDS 5% to happen, so its 5% of 5%, making it 0.0025, or: 1 in 400 attempts. so it basically escalates so quickly because, as explained above, you intuitively (and mathematically) end up needing to MULTIPLY the odds, which are fractions. do that for a 5% event that happens 100 times in a row and you get 5% to the power of 100 which is a really really, small number, so yeah. its important to note that the 2 events need to be independent of each other for this to work. if they're dependent somehow (if one happens then the odds of the other one happening gets higher/lower) then this explanation remains the same except for the part where you multiply 5% by 5%, you'll multiply 5% by something else, depending on how the relationship between the two events is. note to the mathematicians: this is actually the multiplication rule in probability, explained intuitively, yet on independent events, so it ends up as the normal independence definition formula.

How is this even considered speedruning if new records are 100% dependent better rng than record holder lol.

Dream may not even have been cheating intentionally, is the thing. Apparently his evidence of how he came to be using an illegal mod without knowing it at the time is reasonably persuasive to many. Me, I don't know. But it's a possibility. The rest is certainly true.

@@BlueCyann even if that were true, he would have easily noticed early on that there could have been a mistake. But instead he tried to cover it up with his bad faith "study" that he commissioned instead of just apologizing.

@@NihongoWakannai Oh absolutely. Assuming his ultimate self-defense is more or less true, he still handled it terribly. Refusing for even one second to entertain the possibility that that the mods could have it right -- despite that he himself had commissioned work to do exactly what he was he was being accused of, for use in other contexts -- and continuing to slander them for literal months. None of the potential explanations are good.

@@reanaa I've been saying that before the truth was even outed. He shared his minecraft folder with the speedrunning mods. It was clear he thought he was clean! And so did the mods, initially.

I've maintained for a while that there are bound to be dozens of very well hidden cheated runs in the top 100. As a programmer, it'd take me a couple of days, maybe weeks if I was careful, to make a hacked client that does some subtle thing to make a WR very likely. E.g., on the 14th run on April 27th, 2023, inject a "random" seed which is actually an FSG seed, unseen by the runner, with everything necessary to get a WR, and a few RNG tweaks. Of course since I'm not a speedrunner the lack of skill would make it obvious, but there's bound to be plenty of fairly skilled speedrunners who know how to write some Java and don't mind breaking the rules. The most advanced cheaters we've caught don't show how advanced the cheaters are, they show the limis of our means to detect them.

Yeah, I’m still surprised what lengths some people could have gone to for marginal clout. I help maintain a list of records for hardest maps completed in another game, and we recently exposed a guy with a really elaborate scheme to cheat. Which he used on the easiest map on the list. Due to be knocked off in 3 days. The funniest part is that he never uploaded anything else, that one map was his only submission for months, which is why we took so long to find him ;-;

@@Kitteso To be fair, I think they're probably getting better. They definitely have more tools than they used to.

@@BlueCyann Also, videos like this have significantly changed the atmosphere around cheating in speedruns.

Now, youtubers make videos that get very popular harvesting the drama around cheating, making the wider community take more notice. This has sort of forced the community to begin taking cheating more seriously.

@@CuriousKey i have never heard of a single example of such cheating being ok

@@SirTylerGolf Have a look at the history of Goldeneye speedruns for some examples - plenty of people caught cheating who weren't banned from TheElite in the early days iirc. That's the kind of community it generally happened in - small, relatively isolated communities. The massive growth in size and popularity has caused a shift against the acceptability of cheating, and an increase in verification (both existing at all and in the standards used - many early records were trusted literally on faith).

It’s not the only way to check possibility. You can use LattiCG to do it. But generating all of them is easier and is more compelling to general public.

@@DerToasti I know nothing about minecraft, but was there even a benefit for him to get the records other than pride? Like there's no cash prizes or anything right?

This is one of the reasons why I'm not a huge fan of RNG-based speedruns. In deterministic games like Mario, Portal or Mirror's Edge speedrunning comes down to having an optimal route, and the skills to execute it. Usually it's also pretty simple to detect cheaters, because you know what to expect from a run and any anomalies are apparent. In RNG-based games: 1. To get a good time you need to get very lucky, or instead be very good and have tons of patience to grind 100s if not 1000s of runs - this also encourages people to cheat, because you know that you're definitely the best runner, you just aren't getting the luck you needed to get the top time 2. Cheating is harder to detect, because depending on the game you can often do modifications that will be indistinguishable from being very lucky - sometimes a deep dive (like simulating all the chest combinations mentioned in this video) is the only thing that can bust a cheater, sometimes it's literally impossible unless the cheater admits his guilt And then even if we take cheating out of equation, I feel like leaderboards make sense when they rank people by skill, not skill and luck combined. It's possible that for every RNG-based game there's a best speedrunner who has never held the WR because of bad luck.

@@johnr797 people know who you are -> clout -> more subs, more subs = money. that's basically it there's a lot of people who blew up because they speedrun something

"RNG" speedruns are the only interesting ones because they allow for creative expression.

@@tkienjoyer This. There's a top runner I watch who was added to the mod team a few months ago and I love how the way he talks about cheating did a 180 from before to after. From "it's so frustrating, it's so easy to cheat, anything can get through to "nah, nobody can cheat without getting caught. Won't happen." Neither is really true. But the perception that there is a chance of being caught is important, as well as concealing the exact details as much as is practical. (Source: many years ago in another life I was moderator of a Civilization competition. At one point we introduced a new cheating detection method, didn't publicize that we had it, and promptly caught a distressing number of top performers cheating. I can only imagine how many there would have been if we had let them all know how easy the previous system was to hack, instead of them finding out by taking the risk of doing it and only figuring out after that it went undetected.) Obviously when someone as big as this is caught, some of the details have to come out in order to be persuasive that the steps then taken are necessary. For smaller fish it's not necessary though.
