I used to get this quite a bit when I was in college and had a lot of bad sleep habits. I noticed it happened a lot more when I would take a nap or go to sleep super late. Definitely freaked me out a lot at first, but eventually I learned

What about finding "Divine Moves"? While an AI Go player may always be able to defeat a human player in points, it still can't recognize or explain a truly beautiful move or strategy, even if it is the one that is carrying th
