Ja.  If they really did what is reported, DeepMind’s paper is very modest and constrained.  In an odd way, this adds to my vague suspicion.  Had I written this code and it really came out of nowhere and performed 140 Elo over StockFish, I would declare myself god and demand humble worship from all geeks.  I would be going around healing the sick (of spreadsheet abuse) offering forgiveness of sins (such as still using DSL) and casting out demons (such as Fortran).

 

Regarding John’s comment, they definitely have something to show.  We just don’t know what that something is yet.  We will soon I hope.
