    The Surrounding Game and the Alpha Go documentary on Netflix are well worth a watch.

    Promotion for "The Surrounding Game", which looks like a gorgeous documentary. As Lee Sedol claims in the trailer: "It's the most difficult game ever devised by humans"

    Watching highlights of Fortnite 100-player battle royale matches where Ninja is racking up multiple kills per second really makes you wonder if a bot with visual recognition, building strategy skills is achievable in this generation. It's a lot of information. Resulting in a massive decision tree. Bot AI used to be pretty decent back in the UT days. I wonder if Epic is thinking about employing them now to pad the games and increase engagement?

    Does EPIC add bots to fill in the 100 for BR?
