While I think I actually said similar things about this being incremental progress when AlphaGo came out, what I would really enjoy would be an evaluation of how much progress the enhanced techniques represent as AI techniques. AlphaGo involved a Convolutional Neural Network driving Monte Carlo Tree Search with a linear approximator thing to speed things up. Convnets are themselves something of a hybrid system.

So, will the future look like combining together more and more hybrid levels? Is there a limit to the number of layers or pieces? Maybe only someone Yann Lecun could comment. Still, I'd be curious.
