Is it just me or is it really lame that Google isn't going to pay Lee?
From the article:
> Lee was competing for a $1 million prize put up by Google, but DeepMind's victory means it will be donated to charity.
So Lee provides Google knowledge that only he is capable of providing due to his extreme skill in the game and Google won't even pay him?
- asherkin 11y agoHe's getting $170,000, $150k for playing the 5 matches, and $20k for winning match 4.
- nickjj 11y agoAh. I wish they included that in the article. I'm all for open source and unleashing Skynet, but I was concerned someone as important and skilled as Lee will be to improving AI was going to go unpaid.
- tyrust 11y agoUnless the agreement was "we'll pay you to play us", this seems like a fine result.
- JibberMeTimbers 11y agoI can't find any sources but supposedly he got 150k to participate and 20k for each win he got.
