Great series

I've really enjoyed listening to this series. The events highlighted range from famous to obscure and each is illuminating in its own way about the state of the current world.

Interesting but not my favorite of the series

On February 10, 1996 Deep Blue, a chess playing computer, beat chess world champion Gary Kasparov. This win was a significant step forward in the progress of Artificial Intelligence. Joel Benjamin, the chess Grandmaster who trained Deep Blue discusses his time working with the Deep Blue computer.

So the topic isn’t in my normal interest but I still found it interesting. I vaguely remember this being mentioned when I was a kid but didn’t understand its importance for AI’s.I found Gary Kasparov’s reaction to being beat by a computer very interesting. His negativity at being beaten by a computer really put a damper on this breakthrough. Overall, this one was interesting but I don’t want to know more, unlike other episodes in this series.
