"This idea of a Move 37 comes from AlphaGo, a game that the AlphaGo system, which plays this complicated board game, played with Lee Sedol."
More from Karan Singhal →"The system called AlphaGo, this was a breakthrough before language models, was considered the biggest breakthrough in AI to that point."
More from Misha Laskin →"It's like the AlphaGo thing — when it beat Go, you talk to these Go pros like 'what?' The moves were completely alien."

"Talk about Tesla self-driving. Talk about AlphaFold. Talk about AlphaGo. Talk about Dreamer V3. Talk about Cicero. Talk about Pluribus. Talk about Stockfish. These are all AI systems that do things at a superhuman level — exactly what the techno-o..."
More from Cal Newport →"We use the same approaches basically as DeepMind used for AlphaGo and AlphaStar, using reinforcement learning, and we have an extremely high performance simulator that runs 20,000 to 25,000 times real-time speed."
More from Torsten Reil →"We had the AlphaGo moment — it was the same thing. Frank Chen and I did a podcast at AlphaGo and we had to try to make people understand why it was a good idea."

"We actually saw more original stuff back when we had AlphaGo and other things which had less initial data distribution to model — Move 37 and things like that."
More from Emad Mostaque →"I remember when AlphaGo came out 10 years ago, everyone said next year, you know, clearly we have the algorithm. All we need to do is scale it up."

"When AlphaGo defeated one of the top Korean players, he was kind of like, 'I'm done. I don't find joy in this anymore. If we're playing against machines.'"
More from Tim Ferriss →"I always think back to AlphaGo. That story has so much resonance for so many people over so many years. We're at like the 10th anniversary of the Lee Sedol match and people still talk about that match more so than they talk about a lot of other mi..."
More from Jasmine Sun →"I was aware of AlphaGo, the 2016 model that Demis' team at DeepMind had built which defeated the world champion at Go."
