Here’s a little anecdote from tonight’s @xai open house: After Elon’s speech and Q&A, @ibab told the audience about the time he used to work for @OpenAI in the Pioneer building in SF, which reminded me of a conversation we had at the DeepMind office in London more than four years ago

Chess has a tiny number of degrees of freedom compared to reality: only 64 squares, no fog of war, no tech tree, no terrain differences, same starting pieces & positions every time and you can’t invent new pieces during the game. All of those factors and more are present in reality.
So it may seem like someone is close to checkmate in reality, but that doesn’t matter if they suddenly vaporize the opponent’s king with lasers from space that never existed before!
Given that there are even winning moves in chess that seem like blunders to humans, then when it comes to understanding winning moves in reality, it is vastly harder to tell.
