Playing Chess without letting it write a chess engine.

I can't wait for an actual competitor to the M chips from apple. It's frustrating.

Can we please go back to letting experts lead departments where expertise is paramount, you know, like leading scientific funding?

Am I reading it right that they are claiming about ~%15 word prediction accuracy?

I guess there is this dream that AI will help us finally close the Linux driver gap, and maybe even conquer the android phone closed hardware driver conundrum making almost every phone locked down. One can hope.
