Facebook is developing a Go AI

[mumps]

Google Deepmind also made an announcement today which I think trumps Facebooks (no coincidence in timing I think!), keeping their promise of making an exciting announcement.

What a time to be alive!

The timing is purely Facebook's. Google's announcement was dependent on the timing of the acceptance of the Nature paper, so not in their hands.

Uberdude,

How did you find that link? I find it increasingly hard to get urls out of facebook, part of their siloization of the internet.

1) Right click the date/time of a FB post
2) “Copy link adddress”

Has facebook completely abandoned their idea to develop a go AI?
Darkfmcts3 does seem to have played a game on kgs this past month.
