  This comment is absolutely crying out for more elaboration. I tried to do a little searching on my own, but couldn't find anything close.

    There's a netflix doco that you'll enjoy. But essential AI beat the game of go and the world wobbled for a moment but kept spinning.

    The game is deeply connected to philosophy in China (Chinese philosophy), as in placing value of a mystical nature on mastering the game. AlphaGO made the pitch of deep wisdom can be found in go questionable. Just my take. https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/in-the-age-of-google-deepmind-do-the-young-go-prodigies-of-asia-have-a-future https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/in-the-a... https://news.cgtn.com/news/3d51544f3341444e/index.html https://news.cgtn.com/news/3d51544f3341444e/index.html

      > AlphaGO made the pitch of deep wisdom can be found in go questionable. Well sort of, but perhaps what it made questionable is the stronger pitch that wisdom translates to mastery of go.

        It goes both ways, my take is how it was perceived by some is as improve in go=improve in wisdom
