The Deepmind Atari player is only 1500 lines of code.
- narrator 10y agoI think that software developers are going to become one of the few professions left and will be massively productive because they just have to hook up the AI training and they're basically done. Anyone who can hack this stuff is going to be able to be on the other end of the wealth divide real quick. Transfer learning is a beautiful awesome thing. You can download ImageNet models trained on huge amounts of data by GPU farms and suddenly you've got a world class image recognizer running on your very own GPU. Reinforcement learning is totally off the hook. You can make a bot for a random board game that you barely know how to play.
