I see a lot of negative reactions in the comments, but at least this part seems fair to me: > That advance will be much clearer once their peer-reviewed paper is published (we should not judge science by press releases), and once the tool is openly available to the academic community DeepMind has a tendency for hyper inflated PR (not the only ones mind you), wanting for the scientific process to run its course before claiming victory sounds good to me.

> DeepMind has a tendency for hyper inflated PR Can you point at some? AlphaZero (emphasis: AlphaZero, not AlphaGo) is probably the most significant AI breakthrough of the last 25 years (maybe more - I think it's more significant than AlexNet on ImageNet) and there was very little hype about it. AlphaGo got quite a lot of PR, but a lot of that came from the Go community, especially in Korea.
