So, AlphaGo wins.

Post by Sakura » March 22nd, 2016, 11:20 am

Anyone else reminded of "Hikaru no Go" when reading the article of how "godly" AlphaGo plays? After all Hikaru was possessed by an ancient Go player whose only wish was to find the "godly move" and now the worlds best 9-dan player proclaims that she is playing "godly". Hmm. :thumb:

AlphaGo sounds somewhat similar to AlphaMeow doesn't it? Just my $0.01

Always better with a kitty in the mix.
Dogs have owners, Cats have staff

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

Everything's better with a kitten. Remember if every general in the world has a purring kitten in his/her lap, World would be a better place.

If I remember correctly...... Bloefeld, in the James Bond movies, always had a cat with him.

Bloe-what? Which episode? We have plenty of James Bond movies recorded from TV but I rarely watched any.

Ah I see it's one of these "black + white" supervillains... like the Bates motel guy in Psycho :thumb:
