I was present; David Doshay said that in ten years, it would be reasonable to expect computers to play even games with pros.
Reporters tend to be a bit sloppy at times. In the Oregonian, David is reported as "the author of Gnugo" -- I've heard his spiel dozens of times, and he has never said anything remotely in the same ballpark as that. The fault was not his, in any way, shape or form. Terry McIntyre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> “Wherever is found what is called a paternal government, there is found state education. It has been discovered that the best way to insure implicit obedience is to commence tyranny in the nursery.” Benjamin Disraeli, Speech in the House of Commons [June 15, 1874] ----- Original Message ---- From: David Doshay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; computer-go <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 9, 2008 10:04:05 AM Subject: Re: [computer-go] Re: mogo beats pro! I tried to explain this to Chris Garlock about his misquote of what I said, but he kind of shrugged it of in the name of "getting the article out on deadline." The mini-interview with me that he mentions in his article was what happened when he asked me to proofread an earlier draft and then we gabbed for a moment. But he was right, I was very stunned and at a loss for words. He has agreed to run a correction, but the original article is what people will remember.
