Isn't this like saying "Orville and Wilbur wright really didn't do anything that great. Thousands of hobbiests could easily build an airplane that is safer, faster and more maneuverable than the wright flyer, and in their garages on weekends!".
It is the nature of tech to build on what was done before. It's hard to remember that something that now might be laughable, was at one point considered impossible.

- ekiru 17y agoThe Wright Brothers made the first powered heavier-than-air aircraft capable of sustained controlled flight. The subject of the article is a person who wrote a chess program. Not the first chess program. Not the first successful chess program. A chess program. Nonetheless, it is still an impressive feat to fit a chess program with AI into 1k. But it is not comparable to the Wright Brothers' airplanes.
