This is fascinating. I wonder what's going on here. Is it seeing 'the art of the possible' that raises motivated expectation, or is the study of how AI plays Go creating greater sophistication and variety in the way Go players are creating their mental representations of the game? Or is there something spooky at play as in parallel innovation when two discoveries take place simultaneously when there is no discernible way for the information to be transmitted other than through explanations relying on a collective consciousness or a Sheldrake's idea of Morphic Resonance.

I tried to listen to a Boulez piano sonata while reading the article - I have fairly eclectic tastes but found the extraneous cognitive load of the auditory interruptions a little overwhelming.
