NYT Story On Go Programs And AI
mykej writes: "The NYT (registration required, blah blah) has a story on Go, the hardest game for computers to play. From the article: 'Programmers working on Go see it as more accurate than chess in reflecting the ineffable ways in which the human mind works. The challenge of programming a computer to mimic that process goes to the core of artificial intelligence, which involves the study of learning and decision-making, strategic thinking, knowledge representation, pattern recognition and, perhaps most intriguingly, intuition.' There are a few throwaway lines about Nash from 'A Beautiful Mind,' although they don't mention the game he invented after getting frustrated with the inconsistencies of go."
People generally use the same "bullshit logins" for everything. I tried test1234:test1234 and got right in! Slashdot should have a link to the NYT login generator.

Hmm...worked for me...
I'd mod you down for slagging off my favorite game, but I can't cos you have the same damned IP address...
