I don't understand why a Joule-for-Joule "fair" competition will seem like a more important achievement. Computers can trade efficiency for raw performance, humans can't -- it's an unfair advantage. How the AlphaGo team balances those two over time will change, but for now I'm delighted to see what happens when they optimize for something that is beyond human potential.
