A rhinoceros wakes to find itself in a room with no doors or windows. All four walls of the room are made of hollow cinder block, but three of the four walls are reinforced with rebar and cement filling rendering them unbreakable. Utterly confused, the rhinoceros studies the room for a moment and then tries ramming into the first wall to get itself free, but is stunned to find that it won't budge because it is reinforced and completely solid. The rhinoceros shakes it off and tries ramming the second wall to knock it down, but only managed to break off a few small crumbs because it, too, is reinforced. In a total daze, the rhinoceros tries ramming the third wall, but then falls over unconscious from trying to ram yet another reinforced wall. After a few minutes, the rhinoceros regains consciousness and slowly pulls to its feet. Both exhausted and completely unable to withstand ramming another reinforced wall, the poor rhinoceros sinks its head in failure and has all but given up hope. ...but then, with a sudden stroke of genius, the rhinoceros stands on it's hind legs, clears its throat, and asks you, the reader, "Should I try breaking the fourth wall?"
We have truly entered the next stage of smm2 where we have walls that don't exist, invisible walls and stuff appearing and disappearing out of nowhere!
I was gonna say that the fake blocks are one of the most groundbreaking tech inventions but at the same time Carl is still falling for spikes with semisolids behind them
I can't wait for someone to build an AI that makes troll levels by being fed levels from Wizulus'' site only for the level to be titled STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
FUN FACTS about what makes "purple" vs blue in that level: the two colors in On/Off blocks are 237 and 239 (hue), the spaceship animated into the background of the anti-softlock is 238, the bright background pieces are 240, P-Switches are 241, all considered "blue." The "Boo" button is 248, considered purple. That is a VERY slim distinction, but we now know that the border between blue and purple is between 241 and 248.
That was a weird distinction I think for the level creator, using the "Boo" as purple. I would probably say 248 is still on the line of purple vs blue. In this kind of level, I would avoid using anything near that vague range.
@@AnotherDuck The problem is not that it's unclear if the level considers the "boo" button purple. The problem is that declaring it purple makes it less clear what else in the level is considered purple vs. blue. (Sorry if this is a repost - TH-cam says there are 3 replies after refreshing but only shows me 2.)
@@cQunc The unclearness prior to that is actually what makes it work. If it had been a known all the time, you could at any time just have paused to reset without bothering about the rule, since you'd see purple every time you pause anyway, and thus had to reset, which would've gotten rid of the need for any and all anti-softlocks. But it happened at the end of the level, so there wasn't anything left at that point. As such it doesn't really matter.
That's because all sounds used in classic Mario games are somehow related. The themes are slightly rearranged or pitched depending on the mood (underground, under water, etc) Same goes for the classic death sound in SMB1
the geek version of the dont hold left level played a bit differently. Failing the jump to cp2 dropped you down a poop chute that ended right where the door at the start leads. fast forward to the end of the level, which instead said something along the lines of "only nerds follow rules. start over and grab flag", at which point the speedrun teleport to the other side of the flag triggers, furthering the nerd insult. Geek's response to being told to break the rules was "nah, i'll just turn the remote upside down and press left that way. i still followed the rules, f*** off!" So we come to the not geek version, where "only nerds follow the rules" became "flip remote 180 degrees", turning geek's spite into the correct answer. XD
I liked the rotate controller more than forcing the player to break the rules. But having the level become an auto level when holding "right" on the rotated controller would have been amazing.
The first level actually would have been an awesome feature to add to SMM - the ability to restrict some player actions for the entire level. You could have all sorts of unique levels with that.
As a Carl fan, I can see why you think that is a good idea because you only look at it from a perspective of good troll levels. But this is a stupid idea because of the number of unplayable levels that would greatly increase in endless runs.
@@nintySW You completely missed my point. “Unplayable levels in endless run.” To get in endless run, they have to be beaten by the creator. But creators can literally make it damn near impossible to find the solution which is why it’s basically unplayable for the end user unless they want to spend hours finding the solution. (e.g. looking for a hidden block) or are aware of the program that reveals the entire level layout which most people playing don’t know exists.
@@SirDubbs Except this already exists with or without this option regardless. See example: dev exit levels as you noted. This function wouldn't really increase the number of players making dev exit levels, AND it's just an evolution of the "fail on not meeting critera" stages regardless.
I don't know why, but as soon as there's an ominously shaped thing consisting of a shaft and two rounded objects, I can hear geek in my head saying "that's a shween!"
I was disappointed at the end when the level didn't do anything while Carl had his eyes closed. I wish a skull platform carried him offscreen and when he opened his eyes he'd see "HOLD UP" written in purple letters. Biggest missed opportunity of all time
After the rotate controller part and Carl's confusion after that, I like to remind myself and everyone reading this that this man has a PhD. Hope you have a great day.

Over the moon to see Carl finally make a correct prediction. Tears. Edit: I paused to post this and came back and he immediately softlocked I take it all back
I just finished catching up on several Carl videos...and just in time to catch a new one. Happy day! Big thanks to Dave the editor for his amazing work making Carl shine....without getting the shinys.
I love GPT4... the prompt was "write a satire about carlsagan42" In a world where Mario Maker 2 was the epitome of high culture and the pinnacle of artistic expression, there existed a man whose brilliance in crafting troll levels was unparalleled. This man was none other than the infamous carlsagan42. Carlsagan42, or Carl for short, was a man who possessed an uncanny ability to create levels that filled players with equal parts awe and dread. His creations were a testament to the sheer power of human ingenuity, taking the humble tools of Mario Maker 2 and transforming them into veritable masterpieces of digital deception and diabolical delight. Carl's troll levels were a sight to behold, each one meticulously designed to exploit the very fabric of the Mario universe, bending the laws of physics and logic to his twisted whims. The denizens of the Mario Maker 2 community would gaze upon his creations with a mixture of admiration and terror, knowing that to attempt one of Carl's levels was to dance with the devil himself. Indeed, Carl's brilliance knew no bounds, and his name became synonymous with the most devilishly difficult and mind-bending troll levels in all of Mario Maker 2. Players would flock to his levels, eager to test their skills and mettle against the seemingly insurmountable challenges he had laid before them. But alas, the very gift that made Carl a legend would also be his undoing. For in his relentless pursuit of troll perfection, he became trapped in a cycle of his own creation, cursed to forever push the boundaries of his diabolical designs. The tragedy of Carl's genius was that, in his quest to create the perfect troll level, he began to lose touch with the very essence of what had once made Mario Maker 2 such a joyous and lighthearted experience. The game that had once been a celebration of creativity and fun became a battleground where players waged war against the cruel and unforgiving levels that Carl had so skillfully crafted. As Carl continued to push the limits of troll design, the Mario Maker 2 community found itself torn between their admiration for his prodigious talent and the creeping sense of dread that accompanied each new level. The world of Mario Maker 2 had become a darker place, its innocence lost to the unrelenting ambition of a man whose brilliance had turned to madness. And so, the tale of carlsagan42 stands as a tragic satire, a cautionary tale of a man whose genius led him to create levels that would forever change the landscape of Mario Maker 2. In the end, Carl's legacy would be one of both awe and despair, a testament to the incredible power of human creativity and the terrible price that can be paid when it is pushed to its limits
I think the biggest blame the second one didn't sell as well, nintendo was more aggressively banning players; not much stifles creativity like knowing your work can be destroyed at any time for any reason. But anyway it's interesting and amusing to see what happens when you get to fiddle with glitches!
Carl is going to need a therapist after the purple level Therapist: tell me Carl, what is it that troubles you? Carl: PURPLE IS DANGER, PURPLE IS DANGER! OH NO PURPLE PEN! RESET RESET RESET RESET!
The ChatGPT segment at the end had me in tears and laughing out loud, unfortunately it’s currently 2:30am 😂 Also, as a person with Thalassaemia Major (similar to sickle cell) the final part of the video was exciting to hear! Love your content and your science stuff too 😁🙌
Carl Discovered the boo being Purple on the pause screen. Then clicked the boo button instead of love which meant he had to restart later in the level.
10:50 Well, Mario Maker 1 sold 4.02 million copies online whilst Mario Maker 2 has sold around 7 million copies. It has many reasons more to get higher sales numbers, but I personally don't think that the fact that a subscribtion is required is the main factor stopping it.
When Carl talks about extracting a sample using Crispr then re-inserting it... I keep seeing someone yanking his leg off... deep frying it... then reattaching it --"That's fixed!" The leg was made crisper.
In the room with the claws and music blocks, in the background the UFO was purple aswell, so there would've been a reset aswell before falling down to see the purple lava lol
I actually love the idea of more troll levels with rules like this. It lets the creators impose an entirely different failstate than just killing the player, such as the slow rise of the purple Soup. Which can make room for so many new ideas and trolls. That's awesome.
6:43 Nobody going to talk about the Goomba's sudden spiraling death from the sheer "How am I going in this hole?" stupidity? My theory: It jumped into the spike because of the Stevo Kaizo.
On Ultraviolet Trolls, if you like the level, the boo gets greyed out. If you boo it, it's permanently purple and you have to restart any time you pause.
I feel like that prediction in "Failing the seven seas/Red coin underwater nightmare extravaganza" where you predicted the placement of the row of kaizo blocks except the one gap was your first perfect prediction.
ChatGPT and other AIs (such as image-generating ones) are quite horrifying, but if used humorously, they can be quite incredible and entertaining. Either way, they are interesting; we just have to hope that they are used for the right things I suppose!
My main worry is that people will settle for "good enough" ai writing and ai art, fire all the writers and artists, and we'll start to get stuff like news stories with stroke-inducing writing matched with "photos" that can't decide how many fingers people have and that think that artifacts are a feature, not a bug.
This is absolutely my fear as well, especially when not crediting artists can be rather common outside of art communities and people seem to have no idea of how much time and effort it actually takes humans to make any type of art. There exists a disconnection between the consumer and artist that would lead me to believe that people would be entirely willing to accept work from an AI and see little issue with the implications of it.
@@Zeforas the brief answer, as a mathematician qualified to speak on the topic of machine learning, is that barring a fundamental conceptual breakthru, no, it isn't. in terms of identifier accuracy, we've already peaked at what current techniques are capable of. in fact, we peaked about a decade ago. what we're currently doing, in terms of what's getting results, is just tossing more memory, computation, and data into the training set. I said a long time ago, and I still stand by it, that Eliza passes almost all of the tests we currently consider critical for LLM's. And it's not like they're above her in synthesis! what we're currently experiencing, which has happened before I'll add, is a lot of boosterism and investment in AI and datasets which requires selling a product to pay off; so there's tons and tons and tons of marketing in different ways, and a lot of money being put towards convincing people that hey, current AIs are good enough, and where they aren't, they'll improve tomorrow! because AIs learn over time! spoiler, they do not in fact learn over time. They "learn" over data, which is often accumulated over time, but we've shoved literal petabytes of information into them already . . . they're already in the maturity of their possible learning cycles given all the data that exists on earth. what can happen is that the programmers can build better or more efficient models under the surface, or more focussed models. or, they can do as they're currently doing in many areas, and operate a puppet show based on specific data poisoning, (feeding specific answers/responses to specific questions/stimuli). As chatgpt 4 has shown us already, without data poisoning, chatgpt cannot pass a single codeforce question. Not a one! since its prior results were passing *every* codeforce question, that gives us a very clear idea of how much of a role data poisoning played in that prior result, and therefore how much specific puppetry was going on behind the scenes.
There's a lot more that AI can do aside from art and creative writing. AI can write code, or even control other AI. With the right tools, AI can navigate the web, enter in information, order and deliver groceries, send posts on social media, create its own videos and upload them to TH-cam, etc. The possibilities are almost endless, but it can also be quite horrifying indeed '' '
My favorite part of this is that it sets you up for each troll -- like, it shows you the half-height fake block, then it hits you with it again in a new way for the next troll. It'll like the 1-1 of troll levels.
This is a stupid technicality, but in the purple level, at 39 minutes in the video, when carl was in that claw anti, there was a purple spaceship in the background that he could have used to restart. again, that is a stupid technicality that probably wouldn't have counted, but I thought that I would mention it.

14:29 Cloudy with a chance of Luigi fall
5:48 Could've just dropped down too....🤣
I missed the last vid so now I get 2 new Carl vids in one day, this is glorious
That Thumbnail is brilliant: We have seen purple so we need to start over!
On Ultraviolet Trolls, if you like the level, the boo gets greyed out. If you boo it, it's permanently purple and you have to restart any time you pause.
Yea but who actually would've enjoyed that level enough to give it a like? As the level creator I can confirm it was not good enough to get a like
39:07 you can start over now because purple ufo in background top left
39:05 you definitely could have reset, the UFO in the background was purple!
The new meta is sending a thwomp to the player irl. Call it a life-lock 😭 cant play the level when crushed by a twomp 💀
30:58 if you like the level, the boo botton goes black and white!
I asked ChatGPT to write a story about Carl beating "Why Are You Stealing From Ruins?"
It said, "404: File Not Found," and then exploded.
You have discovered SkyNet's true weakness!
I feel like that prediction in "Failing the seven seas/Red coin underwater nightmare extravaganza" where you predicted the placement of the row of kaizo blocks except the one gap was your first perfect prediction.
39:07
a purple UFO appears on the screen, allowing carl to reset.
That arrest sounds like a fitting punishment for what Bearware did with his levels.
In some random universe, carl actually died to an irl thwomp suc
@9:53 the perfect carl box
Please, do not the block! 24:46
We’re finally getting back to the mm1 black hole tier glitches
ChatGPT and other AIs (such as image-generating ones) are quite horrifying, but if used humorously, they can be quite incredible and entertaining. Either way, they are interesting; we just have to hope that they are used for the right things I suppose!
My main worry is that people will settle for "good enough" ai writing and ai art, fire all the writers and artists, and we'll start to get stuff like news stories with stroke-inducing writing matched with "photos" that can't decide how many fingers people have and that think that artifacts are a feature, not a bug.
This is absolutely my fear as well, especially when not crediting artists can be rather common outside of art communities and people seem to have no idea of how much time and effort it actually takes humans to make any type of art. There exists a disconnection between the consumer and artist that would lead me to believe that people would be entirely willing to accept work from an AI and see little issue with the implications of it.
@@Zeforas the brief answer, as a mathematician qualified to speak on the topic of machine learning, is that barring a fundamental conceptual breakthru, no, it isn't.
in terms of identifier accuracy, we've already peaked at what current techniques are capable of. in fact, we peaked about a decade ago. what we're currently doing, in terms of what's getting results, is just tossing more memory, computation, and data into the training set.
I said a long time ago, and I still stand by it, that Eliza passes almost all of the tests we currently consider critical for LLM's. And it's not like they're above her in synthesis!
what we're currently experiencing, which has happened before I'll add, is a lot of boosterism and investment in AI and datasets which requires selling a product to pay off; so there's tons and tons and tons of marketing in different ways, and a lot of money being put towards convincing people that hey, current AIs are good enough, and where they aren't, they'll improve tomorrow! because AIs learn over time!
spoiler, they do not in fact learn over time. They "learn" over data, which is often accumulated over time, but we've shoved literal petabytes of information into them already . . . they're already in the maturity of their possible learning cycles given all the data that exists on earth. what can happen is that the programmers can build better or more efficient models under the surface, or more focussed models.
or, they can do as they're currently doing in many areas, and operate a puppet show based on specific data poisoning, (feeding specific answers/responses to specific questions/stimuli). As chatgpt 4 has shown us already, without data poisoning, chatgpt cannot pass a single codeforce question. Not a one! since its prior results were passing *every* codeforce question, that gives us a very clear idea of how much of a role data poisoning played in that prior result, and therefore how much specific puppetry was going on behind the scenes.
There's a lot more that AI can do aside from art and creative writing.
AI can write code, or even control other AI. With the right tools, AI can navigate the web, enter in information, order and deliver groceries, send posts on social media, create its own videos and upload them to TH-cam, etc.
The possibilities are almost endless, but it can also be quite horrifying indeed '' '
Looks like Chickiew was right on the money.
9:32 I'm sorry, you're supposed to what now? xD
When mario maker 3 glitches get out of hand "off screen thwomp" will mean the thwomp comes off the screen and kills you irl.
Wooo! Carl finally manages a perfect prediction! Then promptly falls into a softlock. xD
Carl isn't nearly observant or diligent enough to start adding extra rules that he has to remember to follow.
My favorite part of this is that it sets you up for each troll -- like, it shows you the half-height fake block, then it hits you with it again in a new way for the next troll. It'll like the 1-1 of troll levels.
6:36 carl says this like we dont remember the canon cp from his Evil #4 level
He Called it, I too would have gotten MM2 if not for the repetitive subscriptions/fees
HE DODGED A TROLL ON PURPOSE HOLY SHIT
The Perfect CarlSagan42 prediction. I'm so happy to have seen it. ^_^ You sir get the best thumbs up and the highest of fives.
Made extra perfect by falling for the simple troll immediately afterwards?
This is a stupid technicality, but in the purple level, at 39 minutes in the video, when carl was in that claw anti, there was a purple spaceship in the background that he could have used to restart. again, that is a stupid technicality that probably wouldn't have counted, but I thought that I would mention it.
RIP CarlSagan42, squished by a Thwomp, so close to the end.
...did ChatGPT just inform us Nintendo basically said "if you think you can make a better game, here you go. Here are the tools" and then we didn't?
