AlphaGo won because it brute forced millions of games and saw the outcome not because it has any innate intelligence.
No. AlphaGo uses heuristics - we're faaaaaaaaaar away from ever brute forcing Go. What is interesting is that AlphaGo uses machine learning to determine how a board "looks" to prune moves before even doing classic heuristics, which is in many ways similar to how seasoned Go players approach the game, and that it learned by playing itself over and over again. All it "knew" to begin with were the game rules.
Playing competitive Go is something that just a few years ago was deemed impossible because it was not a problem which could easily be programmed for. Looks you're expecting "intelligence" in the sense of being able to have a discussion with your computer, a.k.a consciousness, but that's not what artificial intelligence is about. There's plenty of people out there who can keep a conversation but aren't intelligent enough to be competitive at Go in any level.
Not only that; heuristics are horribly complicated in Go. For example, it is possible to score moves in Chess simply by assigning value to pieces and evaluatiing the current state of the board. On Go a seemingly innocuous early in the game can be decisive in determining a match later on.
Net Neutrality is totally a free speech issue. If Internet content starts getting different treatment by owner what you can read and, most importantly, what you can say becomes a function of how much money you have.
AFAIK, it was largely irrelevant. Russia attempted to do the same in the recent French elections: it doesn't matter if what you release is bullshit. If you do it close enough to an election it can tip public opinion.
Point of fact, I still don't know what's so terrible about what the Russians supposedly did..
Attempting to interfere with a US election, according to both the CIA and the FBI. Not only that, what's now being investigated are evidences of collusion with the Trump campaignâ - ostensibly, to hurt HRC.
I don't even live in the US and I knew that much for a while now.
Dude, you're really stretching out semantics. How exactly is police supposed to show up if you fail to register? People move in Switzerland (i did) and police will certainly not knock your door down if you fail to re-register. Again, registration is more related to taxation and local regulations than citizen policing.
Also, i don't know how you came up with the "tight immigration controls" and "border checks". Immigrating to Switzerland is relatively easy if you can prove income and border checks are particularly relaxed. The only time i was checked at a border was when shopping in Konstanz, Germany, and they were more interested on my receipts than my passport and residency card.
Not with the police - with the canton of your residence. The Swiss like to keep track of their residents for a number of reasons but policing has little to do with it.
You should really visit Switzerland some day. It will clear a lot of misconceptions you seem to have.
Laugh it up, but i've been thinking about this and both Trump and Brexit likely played a significant factor in this election, and will affect several more to come in the near future.

I use mainly Chromium these days. It is a far, far better browsing experience than Firefox ever was.
Which goes back to my question :) Define "real intelligence".
This. Very much this.
The only reason this was so blatantly obvious is that these people are even incompetent at lying.

Isn't machine learning an applied form of AI?
It doesn't matter. AI is still pretty much a magic show. No real intelligence.
Define "real intelligence". Can we agree that Ke Jie, the #1 Go player in the world, is a very intelligent person?
Food for thought: AlphaGo learned (literally) Go by playing itself over and over, millions of times.
Go. By a very, very, very, very, very large margin.
I don't think you fully grasp how intractable Go is as a problem. "Strict rules" or not.

I support a more limited, less intrusive federal government..
So.. you chose Trump?
AFAIK, it was largely irrelevant. Russia attempted to do the same in the recent French elections: it doesn't matter if what you release is bullshit. If you do it close enough to an election it can tip public opinion.
Um. How?
Not that I like HRC that much, but I'd love to hear how you think she'd do worse than this current clusterfuck.

The problem with most biometric systems is that we literally leave our password behind on everything we touch.
Biometrics as a sort of user ID, on the other hand...

Looks like he's on the right track if you ask me.
Goes beyond academia. I visit the US regularly for work and traveling with goddamn cellphones has been a concern for months now.
I have no idea what you guys are doing anymore.
Ok, that one was funny :)
Um, are you sure you understand what "racist" means?

In a Hillary Macron vote, Hillary should and would win.
Beware now. I said the exact same about Clinton-Trump, and here we are.
Not by election though but yes, i stand corrected.
