Recall many previous singularity discussions, where plenty of us concluded that there was no arrival at the singularity by incremental steps from where we are.  The singularity requires some breakthroughs in understanding somewhere, probably several of them.  If the Chess AlphaZero experiment turns out to be real, as defined by it showing up at the next TCEC spanking everything in sight, then I would say DeepMind has provided one of those breakthroughs on the path to achieving machine intelligence.
