AlphaGo Zero: Learning from scratch
I'm reminded of Eliezer Yudkowski's article "There is no fire Alarm for Artificial General Intelligence." Is this smoke?<p><a href="https://intelligence.org/2017/10/13/fire-alarm/" rel="nofollow">https://intelligence.org/2017/10/13/fire-alarm/</a><p>Yes, this is not an AGI. But the hockey-stick takeoff from defeats some players, to defeats an undefeated world-champion, to defeats the version of itself that beat the world champion 100% of the time is <i></i>nuts<i></i>. If this happens in other domains, like finance, health, paper clip collection, the word singularity is really well chosen--we can't see past this.
