To Joseph Spinden, The article is old and I wonder if you play the game. I ran a Go club at the University of Manitoba and can tell you strange stories about a time before Hassabis.
I swear I never won a game in 5 years but I kept playing anyway. I guess I am bloody minded. Eventually I discovered that my handicap was being reduced and suspect I was close to 1 Dan at the time. I was told that was harder than a Ph.D. So I went for the degree and sloughed off the game. There should be a few players in the congregation, let them speak up. vib -----Original Message----- From: Friam [mailto:friam-boun...@redfish.com] On Behalf Of Joseph Spinden Sent: January-28-17 8:32 AM To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group Subject: [FRIAM] AI advance Of interest to some: https://www.wired.com/2016/01/in-a-huge-breakthrough-googles-ai-beats-a-top- player-at-the-game-of-go -JS ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ by Dr. Strangelove ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ by Dr. Strangelove
