OpenAI Artificial Intelligence beats competitive DotA Player in 1v1
OpenAI, a company backed by people like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, as well as companies like Amazon and Microsoft, developed an artificial intelligence capable of playing 1v1 DotA, one of the most popular competitive games.
Last week's "The International", the biggest and most important DotA-Tournament of the year, paying almost 25 million dollars in total prize money, featured a showmatch between Danil "Dendi" Ishutin, one of the best DotA players of all time and the AI.
OpenAI won both matches in a very convincing fashion, leaving audience and players stunned.
Although right now, Dendi is not at his peak when it comes to DotA, OpenAi also beat several other professionals before, all of which have years of experience playing competitive DotA, while the bot only learned the game for two weeks by letting it play against itself and being given feedback by its creators.

Terrifying and fascinating...
Indeed, i'm curious what's going to come next. The OpenAI team said that they'll be back next year when their bot will be able to play a standard 5v5 match.
Yes, can't wait to see that happen... It's pretty obvious now that AI is getting ready to take over many aspects of daily life. I'm glad OpenAI is focused towards helping AI to be a rather benevolent force. And like all technologies, it can be used for good or bad. It's up to us how we will deal with it.
No doubt that politicians who keep shouting for more jobs are lagging hard. We need a paradigm shift, how to anticipate the workforce being replaced by AI?
I think although AI is going to replace a number of jobs, there will be many new jobs in AI development and similar fields in the future.
Some countries are already trying universal income, preparing for a possible future where machines do the necessary work and people can do whatever they're interested in and not have to worry about money.
Pretty much this ^^
