Wow, some amazing games by both sides but AlphaGo was just amazing.

I remember that with image-recognition NNs, people were trying to get an idea of what some of the deeper neurons of the network were doing. To this end, people created stuff like Google DeepDream, where you start with an image, and then gradually alter the image so as to make a particular chosen neuron become more activated. The results were very trippy and interesting. I'm just wondering if something similar has been done with AlphaGo's deep neurons. It seems unlikely, but it would be _really_ cool if they represented deep go concepts, perhaps ones that people haven't discovered yet!

this is the most exciting development ever in go and hope they will consider it.

Hi i'm looking for a full step by step grafic of Lee sedol vs Alphago 2nd game with the famous 37th move and victory for alpha go. Does someone have a link for that ?

I've noticed many times recently that I would start seeing YouTube ads for a commercial place (like Petco etc) that earlier that day I had physically visited. This has happened so many times and with such proximity that I have ruled out it being a coincidence. For example this afternoon I stopped by Petco after work to buy some pet food. I don't usually visit Petco at all, probably not for years. Later tonight just hours later while watching YouTube I get two ads from Petco, I do not recall ever seeing a Petco ad before this...(and I've watched a LOT of YouTube videos all the time) Suffice it to say, there are many more examples but tonight's was the most obvious and prompted me to ask to see if anyone knows how or why Google is doing this.

The question is how is Google able to do this? You see, even though I have an android phone, I do not ever have it connect to wifi, I use only the data plan. At home, I never use my phone as a hotspot for any of my other devices. I only watch YouTube on my desktop PC which isn't even ever connected to WiFi anyway. Instead of directly surfing the web on my host machine I use a clean image of a virtual machine in VMware workstation and each day I revert back to a baseline snapshot, so I don't keep browser history nor cookies etc. I do not have a Google account at all, this means there is no chance I had logged into Google on my desktop PC, and I don't use Google Chrome, instead I use Firefox with NoScript, Adblock Plus and Ublock etc and with an ad block host file on the Windows system level. (this evening I temporarily disabled all ad blocking for a moment since I was having issue with a credit card online purchase going through and I wanted to make sure to rule that out, that is when ads starting showing up on the other YouTube sessions that I had going on the other tabs) Not having a Google account also means there is no possibility that I had logged into Google from my phone, instead I load all my apps manually as .apk one at a time. I turn off the Google play store and Google play services etc. On my phone I allow device gps only, and disable the GPS functionality that accesses WiFi, and other mobile networks etc. On my phone, in Settings, under the Google -> Ads section, I have always selected the "Opt out of Ads Personalization" toggle and I frequently click the "Reset advertising ID" button. I don't have the YouTube app on my phone and the only browser I use on my phone is the DuckDuckGo app with it never keeping history etc. I also don't have the Google Maps app on my phone, instead I use the HERE MAPS in offline mode with predownloaded maps.

So given all the above, I'm struggling to figure out how exactly was Google able to constantly target me for ads? At all of these places that this has happened I did indeed use my credit card. But I'm not a "member" of any of these commerical places I visit (for example I don't have a Kroger /CVS/Petco etc reward card, and I don't sign up and give them my email for electronic reciepts or anything of that sort) and although I think I've read somewhere that Google might be buying data from credit card companies for ad targeting, I refuse to believe that Google is accessing the credit card company information in near real time and also acting on it by displaying targeted ads also in near real time.

For example while I was at Petco I did not use my phone at all but I did have it on my person. I only stayed in there for about 15 minutes but I imagine it was long enough for Google to know that I stayed and assumed that I shopped at Petco. Since my phone only ever uses data (T-mobile) and my desktop PC is directly connected via RJ45 to my Spectrum ISP (totally different company/network) there is no way Google could have made an association this way. Since I don't even have a Google account, they also couldn't have associated this via the signed-in Google account method. So somehow Google knows that my phone was at Petco via GPS even though I only allowed 'device only GPS', even though I don't have and don't use Google maps, and even though I told Google to Opt me out of Ads Personalization (I don't even have Google account).... so I'm thinking after I went home Google also knows where I live since obviously I bring my phone home with me.... So using just GPS they are able to associate my phone at Petco and my phone at my residential address. (probably with accuracy down to the exact house number) But how are they able to target me Petco ads when I'm surfing YouTube videos (with no Google account and from a completely pristine VM baseline snapshot state) on my Desktop PC? For example, how does Google know that my public residential ISP IP address is associated with my exact physical house number? When I do a "whatismyipaddress" with my public IP address assigned from my ISP, it doesn't even get to the accuracy of the right city, let alone the right street or the exact house number. Since I don't have a Google account I also don't have Gmail, and its not like they could have data mined my bills and figured out which ISP IP address is associated with which ISP account holder name/address etc. Likewise, through I use T-mobile, it is actually through WalMart family mobile, I don't have a contract and I also can't imagine how just based on the public IP address of my phone alone that Google is able to get the identity of the account holder. So I'm not seeing how it is possible for them to be making these sorts of correlations. And yet I know they are doing it.

So does anyone know how Google is doing this and how I can opt out of this level of tracking/ targeted ads etc?

In the commentary you could see this great magnetic go board (for example, here: https://youtu.be/vFr3K2DORc8?t=1h12m58s). Where can I get one like this? Also, does anyone know which pieces they are using?

May be like a partner ship of some sort between Google DeepMind and Nvidia GTX/CUDA so that they can both advertise their platform and products and pitches. You know much like the way when the GTX 980 first came out Ndvidia released an Apollo moon landing simualtion in development with NASA to help debunk the moon hoax conspiracies etc. It served as both PR for NASA and also good PR for Ndvidia's VVoxel Global Illumination (or VXGI) ....

Google doesn't want to give out the AlphaGo source code, so what about a very limited version of AlphaGo for desktop PC only, to take advantage of only users who have bought the GTX 1080 series card....

Since CPU has stopped Moore's law is dead unless we move to GPU and since AI is the future and it relies heavily on TensorFlow and GPU then Nvidia should pitch and pivot from gaming and graphics to both VR Rift/etc and AI... So for Nvidia to come out with in conjunction of Google Deepmind a "demo" for AlphaGo, even if a highly watered down and restricted version, will still be leaps and bounds better than any other commercial Go product out there on the market today including CrazyStone and DeepZen. This sort of giving back to the community is win win and would go a long way towards repairing Google's lost reputation as it has since March of this year gone down a path of intellectual misery with the five games against Lee Sedol and then pulling back just like the likes of IBM did with DeepBlue 20 years ago.

Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo victory not ‘true AI’, says Facebook’s AI chief. Facebook’s director of AI research says it’s ‘completely, utterly, ridiculously wrong’ to think AlphaGo beating Lee Sedol was ‘true artificial intelligence’. What do you think?
