Game ON: the end of the old economic system is in sight:

"Google is a pioneer in limited artificial general intelligence (aka
computers that can learn w/o preprogramming them). One successful
example is AlphaGo. It just beat this Go Grandmaster three times in a
row.

What makes this win interesting is that AlphaGo didn't win through
brute force. Go is too complicated for that:

...the average 150-move game contains more possible board
configurations — 10^170 — than there are atoms in the Universe, so it
can’t be solved by algorithms that search exhaustively for the best
move.

It also didn't win by extensive preprogramming by talented engineers,
like IBM's Deep Blue did to win at Chess.

Instead, AlphaGo won this victory by learning how to play the game
from scratch using this process:"
