AlphaGo Zero
I invite the members to share any thoughts about the recent achievements of Alpha Go Zero applied to Chess.

AlphaZero is another step towards the singularity.

I think the far bigger step towards the singularity recently is AutoML, but maybe that's just me.

AlphaZero beat Stockfish 8 with a record of +28=72-0 in a hundred game match after having only spent four hours learning the game. That is crazy!

Stockfish 8 has a rating of 3400ish (for comparison, Magnus Carlsen is at around 2800). Although, it seems that Stockfish was running on inferior hardware and without the benefit of an opening book, but I think AlphaZero still would have won the match overall.

"I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords."
-News Announcer on "The Simpsons"

As a chess player, I am astonished. An amazing development. For what it's worth, chess is a good measurement as it is well understood and there are reliable gates with which you can assess a computer's performance.

Now, if we can harness this AI for helping a flawed human society make smarter, objective decisions (actually based on data (like a ches game)) in a complex world, we should be better for it.

This AI is going to be used almost entirely to sell shit on the internet. That's what basically all data science is used for.

Some data science is used for scientific research, i believe...

But then, would we want it to be big govts making scarey decision with AI enhanced data science? Is it a good thing that public trust, being what it is, has forced this tech to be used mostly for selling shit?

Or should we be wortied that it is also being used to win elections?

What Defines A New Player?
Hey everyone i was just browsing the new games to see if there were anything interesting that i could join when i stumbled across a game that had the requirement of 'New Players Only' and i was wondering how to make 'New Player' quantifiable. What is the time between you join till you are considered not a 'New Player.' Or in essence are we all new players?

Why it is always German player
That never pushes ready in Gunboat games?
Like every single time if there is a player that saves his orders early on and waits 24 or 36 hours without pressing ready? Is there any rule that you should not slow game down? Or it is up to players if they want to iritate all others by making a retreat in full turn, and then disbanding the same army/fleet just after that in next full turn?

More gunboat musings, this time about opening strategy.
I hope some of the many GB players that are better than me have opinions about this, especially if they differ from mine.

I just finished my thoughts on the Western countries, I'll discuss the Eastern ones in a follow-up.
