Hey, remember when people were all "sure, CHESS is solved, but Go is a game where a human will always be better than a computer"?
Google Deepmind is playing Lee Sedol, a 9th dan professional Go player widely considered one of the two best players in the world. And it won the first game.
Worth noting, remember that program that finds fucked up faces of dogs in everything? Also Deepmind.

Date: 2016-03-09 09:56 pm (UTC)AlphaGo will only get better even if it loses against Sedol and other top players. Anyone who claimed master-level Go was always going to be the preserve of humans was talking out their ass. The really neat thing is the approach the AlphaGo people have taken in developing their engine which has few similarities with previous computer Go programs, some of which are based on algorithms developed from successful chess programs such as Monte Carlo and alpha-beta tree pruning.
