That would absolutely be a dick move on the part of the website and would confuse users. Also, in this case, the game name is not “Game A” but something like “Deep Seek v4 Pro”, which they have previously chosen to use to describe Deep Seek

Crossing the street and Russian roulette both have non-deterministic risks of injury. And yet I would be bothered to find out that that on my way to work, I was playing Russian roulette by surprise.

I’ve seen several false (or apparently false) accusations of LLM authorship on HN/Lobsters. However, we have to distinguish a few hypotheses: 1. No careful readers will notice when a piece is AI written. 2. Careful readers will general

I’ve thought about this before and come to very similar conclusions. The ELO range between the best and worst players is meaningful, but you can’t just read off the depth of the game from it in the senses we most care about.

I will admit I shouldn’t have said “garbage”, because it is too emotional. But I absolutely think it is bad for the reader, and deserves to be called out. Authors should know that it’s not good enough.

I don’t really care that it’s AI, the problem is that it’s bad AI writing. The summary I shared is much more straightforward. It’s mediocre, but just barely good enough to extract the message without making me super annoyed.

I'm genuinely curious about the effect, but I simply don't have patience for the AI writing. Can anyone give an actual non-garbage explanation with some respect for the reader? Slightly less annoying summary from ChatGPT free: ht

This is within the realm of reasonable opinion, but I'd tentatively say it's an uncommon one--I thought it's generally agreed that the very best players of that era didn't lag contemporary players in terms of skill, only

> You can't compare Elo ratings over long stretches of time, period. I agree that you cannot do it reliably, in principle. However, Bobby Fischer peaked at 2785, and Gary Kasparov peaked at 2851. These are not far from what informed

It's not obvious to me, but I lean towards saying this is false. The 2026 player would play a better AI inspired opening, but I'm not sure that would be enough to overcome the skill difference. (This is especially true if they don

You're right that Shin Jinseo is a generational talent, and more dominant than anyone since Lee Changho (peaked in the 90s and was strong into the early-mid 2000s). However, you can't compare goratings over time, the top ranks are

It significantly predates Claude, and has been one of, if not the best engine in the world for many years.

If you scaled Shin Jinseo to 2800, you would have players with extremely negative ratings. This page shows ratings of European players on a roughly aligned scale: https://europeangodatabase.eu/EGD/createalleuro3.php?cou

This is based on a 108 page prose paper that the repository links to. Of course, that's a very difficult paper as well, I don't know how many people would be qualified to read and digest it, but they do exist.

Twice the optimal result is terrible, though. Luckily, there are pretty good heuristic solutions that work well in practice.
