[M4A] A Deep Dive into Deep Blue. The Chess AI that broke Humanity. [Long Nerdy Rambles] [Background/Study Audio] [Audio Essay?] [40 Minutes Of Educational History] [SFW Exclusive]
🕑 Added 2022-05-13 17:00:00 +0000 UTCThe story of how a lone electrical engineer created an AI that went from being laughed at, to challenging the greatest grandmaster of the world.
One of my favorite guilty pleasures is hour long video essays on Youtube. I don't know why. I don't know how. But listening to a 1-2 hour analysis/explanation about a niche movie I've never even heard of makes my brain incredibly happy.
I have a bunch of incredibly niche bizarre passions that can pretty easily be turned into overdramatic audio essays of this sort of format, so I thought I'd make something I'd personally enjoy. Will you learn something from this?? Yes. Will it be useful information? Hell no. But I find it entertaining as hell
Probably a good audio to have in the background of falling asleep/studying/working. I like making these since they're extremely straightforward to make, so, hope you enjoy it all as well. Go wild! 'Till next time. :D

It is pretty scary. The sense of, “this thing can predict my every move, before I even realize what I’m going to do.” is just, weird. There’s a ton of books/media with those cold, overpowering AI’s/algorithm, like I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream and Terminator/Robocop-esc stuff. And a lot of that kind of media came out around the 1960’s-80’s, before we even started getting close to this! (This is actually why the media was panicking so much at deep blue, comparing it to the rogue AI’s that so many authors predicted). Considering we went from AI’s being nothing more than gimmicks to wherever we are now in only a few decades, it’s gonna be super interesting to see where we are in the next 20 years and beyond
It’s pretty common for me to put up video essays in the background of other works, pretty much turning them into audio only- so it does feel like a pretty natural transition. Maybe it could just be seen as a a hybrid of a video essay and a more formal podcast-esc thing? The story is wild as hell, right?? There was even a lot I had to leave out for flow/time’s sake, especially around the nuances about how the computer worked/played. Thanks so much! We’ll see how many of these come scattered around in the future :D

I've heard of Deep Blue before, but no idea how revolutionary?? and difficult it was!! Or that its name was changed to avoid being called deep throat akxjskxnsk. Computers are insane. I heard people are now trying to make AIs that can predict everything you will do in life and if Deep Blue was a success, it's scary yet fascinating what the future holds <.<
I love video essays and apparently audio essays are also cool af. This was such an interesting story and you told it in such an engaging way, Moral. Looking forward to more of these ❤️
