Google's 'superhuman' DeepMind AI claims chess crown
Google says its AlphaGo Zero artificial intelligence program has triumphed at chess against world-leading specialist software within hours of teaching itself the game from scratch. The firm's DeepMind division says that it played 100 games against Stockfish 8, and won or drew all of them.
The research has yet to be peer reviewed. But experts already suggest the achievement will strengthen the firm's position in a competitive sector. "From a scientific point of view, it's the latest in a series of dazzling results that DeepMind has produced," the University of Oxford's Prof Michael Wooldridge told the BBC. "The general trajectory in DeepMind seems to be to solve a problem and then demonstrate it can really ramp up performance, and that's very impressive."

What about, create the emptiest sim possible, then? Let trolls and people interested in its failing build resilience into it by trying to break it. Whatever in the sim is possible or not should be determined by data like opencyc as an estimate and approved by consensus- blockchain style. One could start a sim on an alternate ethereum chain or, if inefficient, use the chain for the rules and the random data generation only, and let the sim status being univocally determined by that.
In other words, the blockchain contains the rules, the contracts and the random data, the client builds and updates the state from that and manages meta aspects like communication between sim players.
