Facebook Quietly Enters StarCraft War for AI Bots
Misleading title. FB seems to be taking a self-learning approach, whereas hobbyists are defining bot rules themselves. Hobbyists are winning at the moment with an approach that doesn't scale. Self-learning has a better chance of dominating the field.<p>Edit: HN mods updated title to be less click-baity (thanks). Earlier it said "FACEBOOK QUIETLY ENTERS STARCRAFT WAR FOR AI BOTS, AND LOSES". The "and loses" at the end was misleading.
