You can apply to come to our annual conference and
you know, I think increasingly, not, you know, not just AI researchers like Jeff Hinton, Yoshio Bengio, but also I think, you know, writers, Brian Christian, for example, has a nice book called The Alignment Problem.
And he's looking at it from the outside.
He's not
or at least when he wrote it, he wasn't an AI researcher.
He's now becoming one.
But he has talked to many of the people involved in these questions and tries to give an objective view.
So I think it's a pretty good book.
So my program never beat me at chess.
I actually wrote the program at Imperial College.
So I used to take the bus every Wednesday with a box of cards this big and shove them into the card reader.
And they gave us eight seconds of CPU time.
It took about five seconds to read the cards in and compile the code.
So we had three seconds of CPU time, which was enough to make one move with a not very deep search.
And then we would print that move out, and then we'd have to go to the back of the queue and wait to feed the cards in again.
How deep was the search?
No, I think we got an eight move, a depth eight with alpha, beta, and we had some...
tricks of our own about move ordering and some pruning of the tree.
But you were still able to beat that program?
Yeah, yeah.
