So apparently AlphaGo came back with a vengeance and has been demolishing 9d players left and right. What does sci think about this?

If it starts doing mathematics I'll be killing myself.

I've watched the majority of the games played by Master(P) on Tygem and Master on FoxGo. While there were some suspicions that Master was AlphaGo, many of us thought that it had been developed in Korea. We also thought it would be crazy for DeepMind to name their bot "Master" of all things.
It's interesting to know that it was, in fact, AlphaGo this whole time. Watching it mow down the pros one-by-one has been fun, if not a little depressing. I wonder what the future holds for Go, and if we'll be able to find a way to catch up to AlphaGo someday.

>DeepMind to name their bot "Master"
I didn't find it that strange; they named the AI "Alpha"Go, for example.
I wonder if this theme will follow on with Starcraft AI.
>I wonder what the future holds for Go
I wonder what the future holds for many learned professions.
Are there any English commentary videos for the recent games?
John Gutierrez
No English commentary that I know of, but if you're 5k+ (KGS rank) then you can follow along pretty well as a spectator without it anyways (that's what I did).
I think calling something "alpha" is different from calling it "master," especially in the context of technology.

would be more interesting if alphago was purely a neural network
Robert Jones
why?
Hudson Jones
if i remember, it's still uses typical search strategies. it just uses neural nets to direct the search
wouldn't it be more interesting it it only used a neural net?

you should learn how AI works, m8
it's not even difficult desu, at least the basis/theory
and I say this as a dropout who didn't even pass 2nd year of engineering
