Google's AI playing Atari is quite the watch
I have to say, I've never been more blown away by how holy-fucking-shit Google's AI seems to have gotten than watching the video of deepmind playing Atari games.
I wish I knew more about what Deepmind was doing behind the scenes.

It actually may not be all that impressive to run atari 2600 games. I remember ages ago seeing an AI play the original super mario brothers with some amount of success. It's mainly a thing of timing and reactions. Obviously death is a state to be avoided so tend to not do things which make you die, things like getting coins are positive utility so try to gather coins if you see them, etc.
@tekk It's not impressive if you hand-code the strategy. The difference here is it's a single "learning algorithm" that is developing the strategy itself. I don't know of anyone having done that for Mario.
Ah, so they're not even applying any sort of rules to it? Iirc the mario game developed its own strategy based just on those utility values, but I may be misremembering. I'll try to track it down.
