And this progresses to the point where it's like they aren't even built on what humans have done in the past.
A lot of my highlights center around this.
I think this idea is fascinating.
And so at the beginning, it says, if you pattern match what humans do, it's not going to take you all the way to beating the top human.
The system needs to discover new moves which aren't human-like.
We need to build a machine that would search the infinity of permutations in Go and come up entirely novel strategies.
The early version of our ghost system played as a human would.
It rediscovered certain strategies that humans had learned over millennia.
Then it discovered that certain time-honored human strategies can actually be counteracted, so it discarded them.
As the system became stronger, it played like nothing we've ever seen.
It came up with a style that was completely alien.
There are so many examples in the book about this I think are very, very fascinating.
So it goes back to now we're a couple of years into this and everything with Google was going well.
Google had liberated him from the fundraising hamster wheel.
Google allowed him to retain DeepMind's independent culture in London.
Google had even granted his followers privileged status.
People that worked at DeepMind could get into any Google office globally.
But people that worked at Google were barred from DeepMind's premises.
In some weeks, a single research team at DeepMind might gobble up more computational resources than Google's worldwide Gmail network, which had 900 million users.
And so Elon and others see what's going on, and this is going to lead to the founding of OpenAI as a counter to DeepMind and Google.
