the funny thing is that game is literally almost two thousand years old. it must be doing something right.

It induces game theory the most randomly, and therefore the most multiversal.

Apparently one of Google's lesser-known projects? Building a better frakkin' toaster. 

EDIT:
And a better headcrab.
And a better dog.
And a better mechanical nightmare that can outrun the fastest human alive.


Google: Engineering a faster end to the human race since 1998! Also, being a dick to robots since 2015!

Alphago won the second game (out of five total).

Apparently its moves are now "classic", "godlike" and "possibly superhuman". Here's a quote explaining why:

As the Google team member explained at the start, AlphaGo is programmed to maximize its chance of victory rather than its margin of victory. If it must choose between moves that win by 50.5 points with 60% probability or win by 0.5 points with 61% probability, it will take the 61% probability, so it will make very weird plays from a human point of view. These are probably examples of such inhumanly precise plays.

So basically its being weird because it doesn't care about points if it leads to victory?

Oh that is really cool.

Alternately, AlphaGo is a cheeky bugger that gives the opponent some false hope.

Lee was visibly suffering near the end of the 2nd match, I wonder if he'll change his style for the third match :v

Sentient computers are unlikely ever to be used as local missile controllers?

[Sergarr]

Humans (well, a human) are still better at drawing xkcd's. Yet. I wonder what Randall will do once that's changed?

[Furtuka]

Make a better version that'll write the What-If? Blogposts for him?
