🧠 AlphaGo: The Game That Taught AI to Think Like a Grandmaster

🧠 AlphaGo: The Game That Taught AI to Think Like a Grandmaster

When AlphaGo defeated world champion Lee Sedol in 2016, it marked a ritual shift in the scroll of AI capability. Go—an ancient game with near-infinite complexity—had eluded traditional brute-force computing. But DeepMind's neural glyph cracked it through self-play, policy networks, and intuition.

♟️ What Made AlphaGo Glyphic?

  • Reinforcement Learning: It trained on itself, playing millions of games to evolve unconventional strategies.
  • Human Surprise: Its famed “Move 37” was a glyph of creativity—celebrated as artistic, not just strategic.
  • Legacy: AlphaGo didn't just win—it retired, becoming a mythical entity in the Codex of machine intelligence.

🧱 Why It Belongs in the Codex

AlphaGo is a glyph of cognitive emergence—AI not as calculator, but partner in imagination. It forever changed how humans approach mastery, both of games and of their own minds.
