Again not saying I am for patents. Just answering the original question. Did AlphaGo bring anything new to the table? Hell yeah.

  > Did AlphaGo bring anything new to the table? Hell yeah. It is incredible software and deserves the Turning Prize, no question. But what new patentable tech did they invent?

    Patentable tech doesn't have to be from the ground up. If you design something that solves a problem that wasn't solvable prior to your invention - regardless of the tech it is based on - it definitely qualifies for a patent.

If you design something that solves a problem that wasn't solvable prior to your invention - regardless of the tech it is based on - it definitely qualifies for a patent. I asked twice what specific patentable tech they invented and you declined to answer. It is a straw man to suggest I was arguing against about any specific thing being patentable.

        I thought it was clear it was the whole architecture, piping deep neural nets and monte carlo search together and using reinforcement learning on the whole thing is not something that had been done before.
