There have been at least two attempts (that I know of) to create a competitive (6v6 singles) battling AI, although they were a few years ago and relatively primitive by modern standards. I expect that the relatively limited official support for competitive play would make Pokemon less appealing to the types of institution doing AI research, so you're limited to what a handful of amateurs can do.
I'm in brisbane, australia, and this seems to be the case here as well. There has been huge increases in property values and rental returns. Recently though they're has been a high rise building boom and sure enough rental prices seem to be dropping and there's an over supply. There is a general property slow down occurring to, though how far its going to go no one knows. The supply side of the demand / supply seems to be increasing.

Another theory that seems to be going around recently is its the availability of credit that causes these bubbles, which on the face of it seems to make sense. If credit isn't available then prices wont increase, if easy cheap credit is available then people will leverage up, which pushes up house prices and the circle continues.
I disagree partly. Cuda is defacto in DL at the moment, and is very well designed. It has academic roots and the neat ideas shine out.

Why did I say partly? So many optimization layers exist already (e.g. BLAS/cuBLAS). One may not really need to get down to the CUDA level.
There’s a low-hanging fruit element to new languages as well. Reimplementing is a lot easier than improving, since improving a well understood algorithm requires invention and redoing something only requires research.

Facebook and co hire psychologists to make their data collection as painless and humanly possible, most of the time people only ever fully realise the extent of the data collected once they get pinpoint accurate ads, at which point they even resort to accusing facebook of listening to your conversations. The point is, the average person can't assess what exactly you can accomplish with the data you share. You might, but that's typical HN preaching from the ivory tower shit.

I very much wish incentives were aligned this way. However, as the ad tech sector has shown, consumer apathy is pervasive enough that you can push the envelope quite hard against them before the costs near the benefits. Couple that with the uncertainty of an ever-changing tech landscape (especially considering impending government interference), and optimizing for short term profits is "rational". That's "rational" about money only, morality and sustainability be damned.
We have had a huge swing in results, we can show that, but we’re simultaneously improving and testing a lot of things across the entire company (we’re 18 months old and are iterating in everything quickly), so it’s not like we have a well-designed study that isolates this as the only cause.

We could do it now I suppose, but you begin to run into ethical questions that don’t mesh with our vision: “let’s give n students a subpar experience to prove a point” would be a tough sell.

AI That Decides What You Should Eat Based on Sentiment
If you look at the distribution of gender in the field, it is very heavily skewed towards men. One can argue about why this is the case, but if you don't believe that women are inherently "dumber" or less capable of doing scientific work then celebrating one of them reaching such success is a great way of inspiring other women and girls of attempting the same.

In practical terms, imagine all humans have similar potential. If this is the case, then you must realize that the potential of nearly half the population is completely wasted. Indeed an entire gender is underrepresented in the tech & science field. Thus your best way of action should be to alleviate the issue and normalize the gender distribution. Inspiring younger women to enter the field is a step towards this goal.

Of course, if you cling to the notion that women are not capable enough of doing this demanding intellectual work and should rather stick to doing menial labor surely it must be a fantastically rare statistical anomaly to have a woman win the most prestigious scientific accolade, and thus mentioning it in the title makes complete sense.

The issue with this logic is that the AI is being held to a subtly higher standard than a human.

Consider this - how do _you_ know that there is a next trainer if it is off screen?

I'd guarantee you didn't figure that out from the context of the game, because then you'd have the same problem as the AI - it isn't data that is provided in the game.

I don't deny that, but I believe the best way to stop it, is to stop giving so much attention to gender/race of people. That's why so-called "diversity" reports of companies make me sick. If you believe that all races/genders are equally capable to achieve greatness (as I do), then you should hire the best, give awards to the best and never spend a second thinking about their biological background. If we stop making big deal of these things, it won't matter anymore.

This is how adversarial justice systems are supposed to operate. The idea being that you get lawyers advocating in the best possible way for either side, so the argument is 'fair'. This is in comparison to an inquisitorial system, where one party is charged with investigating the case and exposing the 'truth'. This is more prone to bias and ability on that one party but it does generally mean that the level of resources each side has matters less.

>Eventually the truth does come out

Why does the truth eventually come out? Or is this an assumption?
I don't really appreciate the debate tactic of pretending that I made a stronger claim that I actually did. In particular, I didn't claim or imply that re-implementation of things was "free." It is much much easier to demonstrate that claim as ridiculous as opposed to the more measured perspective that I actually expressed.

> real software is not built this way

This is a bullshit say-nothing phrase. You're using "real software" to presumably denote some dichotomy of software that doesn't exist. If you asked 10 people to define what "real software" actually meant, you'd get 10 different definitions. They might agree on the extremes; but there's a whole mess of crap in the middle that we could endlessly debate about.

> New languages become old, and software needs maintenance. So what you get for free (supposing you're right) is not worth very much and not what counts, anyway. Most of the cost and value is in prolonged maintenance, which has to be done for multiple implementations in parallel.

This isn't clearly true at all.

I mean, if you're going to talk about maintenance, then you also need to consider the impact of improved tools on the costs of maintenance. If a tool makes maintenance easier or less costly, then it's pretty hard to say anything definitive about long term costs. New tools can and do impact the usage of old tools, which in turn can have a direct impact on long term maintenance costs.

> It's reasonable to assume that work is never really free. But if we're hypothesizing about alternate realities, you may as well imagine that instead of new languages something else is invented to motivate you to do free work.

Absolutely! But that's not the argument I'm countering. I'm specifically countering the notion that new language development can be "irresponsible" because it "could" divert work away from other projects. What I'm saying is that it is not necessarily true at all.

There is a more measured argument to be made here, but the OP did not make it.

New ideas should be born and die in accordance with the resources of folks willing to keep them alive. We don't need some grand notion of "responsibility" to control the ebb and flow of ideas.

In 2014, I wrote a minimax-based AI to play games on Pokemon Showdown. We adapted Showdown's battle simulator for our tree search. The hardest part was syncing the local simulator state with the actual game state - the battle state in Pokemon is both complex and partially observed. Bugs in this process could result in the AI using Protect twice because the state wasn't updated with the fact that it used Protect the previous turn.

The minimax AI was able to use tactics like Pain Split, Spikes, and Magic Guard.

It’s very common for PhDs in technical fields to pivot to data science once they hit a wall in their career from the oversupply problem. I’ve had a couple of friends make this jump - but they either came from a computational background or devoted at least a year to learning the necessary programming skills and math. Out of curiosity, did the overcredentialed people you interviewed have any actual experience applying analytic techniques, or were they just people with advanced degrees blindly trying to move into a hot field?

Artificial Intelligence: Myths and Realities
We have always been fascinated with the possibility of creating a machine in our image, but this fascination is often accompanied by apprehension. We fear losing control of our creation and suspect that it could possibly turn against us. This duality, this conflict between the desire to create and fear of the consequences of creation has always been exploited by writers and artists alike. So what was the goal of AI?
MYTH1: AI can make sense of any and all of your messy data
Which is not true at all. AI can perform very narrow and specific tasks and hence require related input data to provide a viable output. Data is the most important input tool for an AI. Bad data will provide bad results no matter what the system. careful content curation is an absolute must. AI Norman the psychopathic AI was created just to prove how biased data can create biased AI.

MYTH 2: Do you need big budgets and an army of experts to create or explore AI?
The answer to this solely depends on the kind of AI application that you want to create. As complicated tasks and internal understanding might require some heavy lifting that only a Ph.D or help from an expert would allow you to do.

There are several AI tools and applications available that are open source and readily available for public and business use. Take Tensorflow, for example, it is an open source machine learning framework developed by Google. Google and Uber are also working on AI that doubts itself in theory. In reality, they are merging two branches of AI namely deep learning and machine learning. Thereby creating a system that gives a measure of how certain it is.
