whats being lost here I think idk is the fact that the robot lost once because lee de-dol exploited a bug in alpha go. lee seems to play it down as “just a bug” but it seems like that might be a pretty good strategy.

Pretty remarkable that all 4 of them engaged in the exact same alleged snooping activity, were all union organizers and were all fired. In a company with thousands of employees, what are the odds.

I mean they kept it around for 10 years before killing it. They certainly tried. It's printing physical paper. It's 2019, does it really confuse anyone as to why they would kill a product that prints paper? Even if it was successf

We still haven’t solved language nor intelligence. Like what is language, what is intelligence? Some of the smartest linguists and philosophers would proudly declare they have no fucking clue. Making Alexa turn on the lights or using Google
