Having once spent some time learning Go, this is a frightening accomplishment for AI.

I really don’t want machines being able to think for themselves. The dangers involved are there for all to see.

Terminator was a fun but obviously unrealistic film when it came out.

maybe not.

Heck the adds for Watson from IBM during the AFC playoff game this past weekend were scaring the heck out of me as it was. We seem to be on the road to making ourselves obsolete. Just have to hope the AIs decide to keep us around for quaint entertainment.

AI was a popular topic back in the day. Maybe the 80s. But then it never really took off.

Now it seems to be talked about constantly again. And this time, they seem to have real accomplishments.

I’m starting to get worried. An actual AI would change things the way that the printing press changed things.

This is a landmark achievement. I frankly never expected to see this level of development in my lifetime as Go is a seriously hard problem to crack. Kudos to Google for this.

The implications for the development of so-called "Strong AI", however, now need to be taken seriously.

I, for one, salute our new computer overlords

Go?

Is that like Othello?

I wonder what the machines will think when the grid goes down.

“Poof?”

I’m probably the only freeper who found the movie AI sad and heartrending
