> And for perspective, AlphaGo was what...4 years ago? Just look at the growth of compute available cheaply in the cloud since then How would we know the difference between a problem that was interesting to solve but was hard versus a problem that just needed Google's money to solve? Besides, since when was cloud compute was getting cheaper? I'm pretty sure, considering how increasingly profitable it is despite the "discounts," cloud compute has gotten more expensive, in the sense of increasing margins for the seller. I guess we'll all find out what OpenAI does with its Azure credits.
