Building A.I. That Can Build A.I
Sure it&#x27;s exciting stuff for those handful of researchers who currently work on projects like AutoML.<p>On the other hand, I feel sad for myself because me and many others left so far behind. I have strong feeling that such technologies would lead to concentration of power of such mega-corporations like Alphabet as well as complete monopoly for any creative work. So very few of us who managed to become cutting-edge researchers would be proud to be creative humans, others will do just a monkey job using <i>magical APIs</i>.<p>In 80s, two people could create state-of-the-art game written in assembly with it&#x27;s own tiny game AI (hello to Elite [1] which has intelligent opponents who engage in their own private battles and police who take an active interest in protecting the law).<p>In 90s, a small team could create state-of-the-art game written in pure C with some cool AI (hello to Quake III Arena [2] which has pretty strong bots [3]).<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Elite_(video_game)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Elite_(video_game)</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Quake_III_Arena" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Quake_III_Arena</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.researchgate.net&#x2F;publication&#x2F;240430519_The_Quake_III_Arena_Bot" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.researchgate.net&#x2F;publication&#x2F;240430519_The_Quake...</a><p>In both of these cases, you don&#x27;t have to be genius to be able to understand whole thing alone.<p>I&#x27;m 33 and I progress very, very slowly. I feel I might be on the level close enough to understand Q3A entire source code. I think I would have great future if today is 1994. Unfortunately for me today is 2017 and I do realize that I don&#x27;t have any exciting future at all.
