@@MajoraWaffle Chess really isn’t that difficult of a game nor is it too difficult to learn. You can learn to play on your phone by just moving the pieces around for a few rounds before you really get a feel for how the game works. Honestly though, that move isn’t particularly noteworthy for people playing chess. I’m guessing it was noteworthy, because they finally got the computer to play like a person?

I'm just curious why you thought your opinion on this topic meant anything.

I thought i would go "wow what an interesting end to a game of the greatest chess master and a chess computer made by passionate engineers!" But it was so depressing by the end that i just never wanted any of these people to lose nor win

It would have been cool if it was a fun rivalry of a team dedicated to beating this one very impressive guy, then this guy wanting to beat this unpredictable computer and it just ends with a friendly handshake of each parties still wanting to beat the other but it did not go that way at all, i was naive as hell

For real. Seemed like it was the Deep Blue team trying to build a CPU that could beat the best chess player, but IBM just wanted the publicity of winning, regardless of the means.

That is corporate America in general, nothing matters but the bottom line.

Yea, unfortunately and unsurprisingly corporations are only ever driven by profit

Yea, seems really shitty, underhanded and unsportsmanlike. If Deep Blue were a professional chess player then its games would have been publicly available for Kasparov to review and analyse, it can't really be said that IBMs machine was truly better given this unfair advantage. Nevertheless, modern chess programs would absolutely demolish any player, so i guess it was an inevitable victory of machine over man

The problem with his position on chess/AI is sadly all too common. A good person finds it very hard to see what a bad person can do with that sort of tech. While a bad person knows full well how much good it can do but prefers to make automated armed drones. But neither of them see the possibility of emergent behaviour, the complete potential independence of concepts and "thought" in a suitably advanced AI (or even just a world class bug). Imagine a national AI energy control system, that balances needs and systems across the country - notices that certain facilities have high energy uses and bugs out, providing old peoples homes, or hospitals with *its* assumptions of the power they need, based on similar sized utterly unrelated facilities, in a Canadian grade winter... The last words of the human race will be along the lines of "it shouldn't have done that...". Because the people who design this stuff are always under the control of others who in the relatory functional sense are Baboons with delusions of grandeur and a company car... Witness IBMs behaviour. I don't like our odds as a species..

@@rosiehawtrey the real tragedy is that such computer controlled systems could potentially turn our world into a utopia.

given how glitchy and unstable it was going into that game (combined with IBM playing dirty outside the match, and it being set up with preloaded opening moves as a crutch), you could argue its even worse- that it never really ACHIEVED its intended purpose to begin with- heck, that it was incomplete-never to be even finished ;(

@@3takoyakis I feel bad for Hsu and his team as well since they seemed to be more than willing to cooperate with Kasparov. The fact that they wanted to, but were unable to, provide logs both through sheer bad luck from the computer as well as IBM's interference is very sad. If Kasparov was able to contact Hsu or another member of his team directly, rather than having to go through IBM, I feel like it would've been significantly different. A legendary man lost a match he likely could've won, and a legendary team won a game because the house made sure deck had been stacked in their favor; I'm sure that nobody aside from corporate big wigs were content with the way things shook out and it must've left a bad taste in their mouths. IBM should've been ashamed.

It makes sense - all programs have bugs; oversights. I'm sure that kasparov could have found a dumb, basic pattern or scenario the programmers had overlooked, and exploited it. I'm sure that's what IBM feared most of all; their million dollar computer going from a world class chess player to a bumbling rookie due to an exploit

I disagree that it was "dishonorable". Knowing what an opponent has done in the past is FAR more predictive of what it will do in the future for a computer player than it is for a human player. It almost makes me wonder if maybe they shouldn't build in some fuzzy logic. Like, evaluate the top N moves and assign them probabilities based on their relative strengths, then roll the dice to see which it uses just to prevent an opponent from knowing with certainty what it will do in any given situation. That's actually almost what happened in the second competition; Blue was making errors due to bugs but since Kasparov wasn't aware of the bug he thought the computer might have found a truly inspired line of play that he just wasn't capable of seeing. Had he had more games to analyze he might have realized "Oh, in this situation it ALWAYS makes this mistake" and then been able to capitalize on that.

personally i would just go with fuck corporations. both the deep blue team and kasparov were at least trying to operate within good faith, afaict

I mean, fair but also that's the role of a teacher/mentor. To present the problem and let the student figure out the solution. In theoretical studies and development it pays to be open to radical ideas despite the risk they can carry. Hsu pointed out a logical method of reducing cost and producing a better machine that was revolutionary (if not a bit radical given that decentralized processing was initially faster) and when denied decided to take his idea and run with it.

Actually it’s one reason that the Deep Blue saga is so fascinating because it ended up destroying Kasparov’s confidence and completely disoriented him, including his distractions of obsessing over his thoughts of IBM cheating, and wondering who he was even playing against, a computer or a cheating group of people who were feeding moves to Blue. Plus he was trying play-styles that were awkward for him... the psychology of it all really destroyed him toward the end...

@Rock Golem where did you hear that. Also I don't think movies were athing back in the year 1012.

In the grand scale of things, the effects of this whole thing weren't terrible. Hsu and Garry still had successful careers afterwards, and the Deep Blue matches didn't significantly change the game of chess. But it still feels a lot like a tragedy... I don't know, there's something very sad about Deep Blue being worked on so diligently for so long, only to be retired the instant it creates sufficient profit for IBM to justify its investment. And the poor showmanship of IBM during the 2nd set of games. And even the attitudes of the public about it being a "man vs. machine" thing. It never was; the machine couldn't think for itself.

i think that legitimately might be Fred's greatest talent, even beyond his exceptional research and his voice work- a seemingly intuitive knack to explain, describe even the most esoteric or complex/arcane things to an audience who often have little to no knowledge without dumbing down/oversimplifying

Yeah, but IBM lost in the end-the 90s were IBM's twilight years, never really keeping up with business nor R&D, so they wound up eating total shit in the 2000s. Nowadays, IBM is a complete shadow of its former self, betting everything on a few expensive hobby horses-mostly quantum computing and AI-though far more focused on marketing hype than R&D.

Blues Deep

Deep blue

in spy movies/tv shows when someone plays a "deep throat" character it has to be played by a guy because no self respecting movie would call a girl "deep throat" and get away with it.

Blue Balls

@@jimbobbyrnes Naked Gun should have used this code name

Cable tv garbage with its monthly fee

Well, it's hardly for free. For one, it was paid by his Patreons. Also this video is probably monetized, though I'm not sure. Not to undermine Fredrik's work, but I don't think he would have continued if it wasn't for Patreon. He makes about 2600$ a month from it. This video took him 4 months to make, so the budget was about 10000$, which I guess is not bad for an amateur video maker.

Hey, I pay my internet bills to watch this.

It's not really "for free" tho

I just did the same thing, albeit on a dare; it was a very enjoyable experience and well worth the time!

At 1:27:00 when I read this, thanks for the heads up

Deep Blue: Become Human

The ability to be unpredictable is ultimately what makes us human. Quirks in our brain make each of us different.Deep blue was ultimately a brain with quirks which allowed it to in the world of chess make it human.

Only if not hard-coded to make such a move or alter value calculations in certain board positions. In that case it is corralled into calculating moves differently for a turn, then goes back to its normal behavior the following turn.

this is what happens when machine learning plays against humans in video games and board games too. They do really strange things, then it turns out it's a strategy that works. Deep Blue isn't machine learning though...

@@THEFRISKIESTDINGO while the "engineered unpredictability" was a thing back then, modern "Alphas" are naturally creative.

He knew that the programmers had their distinct play style, he knew to watch for it. Which speaking how many programmers there were he would play against makes it even more insane.

Actually, that was his mistake I think in the rematch. Modern evaluations of the games showed that there were winning chances for Kasparov in the rematch games. But he played reserved "anti-computer" chess...or against the programming...instead of trusting his gut. I honestly believe if that had not been the case that Kasparov could have defended human dominance in chess a second time around.

A lot of the opinion you will hear about the match is heavily influenced by the person's opinion of Kasparov himself. Because if you think he's just being a sore loser you're much less likely to hear his points.

Same. When you win because you demoralized the opponent in a computer vs human match, did you really win?

Wasn’t really man vs machine. More like man vs corporation.

Them manipulating him for stock value was pretty sick. If it had been for the sake of scientific process that'd be one thing, but if they'd really wanted that, they'd have him playing at his best.

Nah, Garry was a warrior that died on his feet. When you're the best you can only go on so long before you start looking to be tested, if not outright beaten.

Note to self: narrate my movements in Final Fantasy Tactics in chess terms. "Ramza to h6, takes goblin". I also feel if I wasn't as tired as I am after staying up way later than I should've to watch a documentary about chess, I could make a halfway decent Hollow Knight "Pale King" reference, but yeah. You could slap "Omega Weapon" or "Ultima Weapon" on one of those Chess Personalities and I'd say "yeah that's about right."

@Cameron IBM cared more about the economic side of beating the chess grand master than the technological achievement that Deep Blue really is. IBM provided poor conditions to both Kasparov which was not in his best intererst. IBM didn't provide the DB's private chess plays for Gary to analyze while his games were always public for anyone and the reluctance of IBM to publish any data about DB were very suspicious.

@D B the intentions were totally okay, hell it's the reason the team were able to build a machine but they had not reason to play dirty while they could've sacrificed some time to let the match play out for real

@D B lmao corporations should just be allowed to cheat and exploit systems for money huh

@D B YEah, corporations getting filthy rich is more important than anything, it seems. Those boots must be mighty tasty if you lick them with such aplomb.

Imagine how much people at the time would shit their pants if they fiddle with our phones' chess apps and see the AI not be materialistic

Woah that's actually really amazing. Shows passion imo

Definitely passion. Playing ads would completely throw off the great pacing of the video.

But what apt way of putting it that makes total sense. You couldn't do anything but play into this strategy that is foreign and uncomfortable. Any ounce of effort you put into playing how to feel comfortable is instantly crushed. I completely see how mentally taxing that would be

That's the sort of feeling you get when either playing against someone vastly superior... or in this case, playing against someone with a team backing them up, and stuck with a handicap.

That was definitely one of the best parts of the video, Fred did a great job at describing the stress and mental anguish Kasparov was under at that moment.

He says it like he’s playing against some eldritch monstrosity, which I suppose is what a computer playing like a human would be to a chess player.

IBM truly saw it as a battle when they saw the potential for publicity DB was and they did what anyone on a battle would do, go for the jugular and give them no quarter
