Solution: To calculate scores of all the daughter nodes before updating the root node at once, make alpha beta for each possible move independent of each other by removing their global scope, use hard-coded scores for each move, and simulate for the root node

If you are not updating the alpha beta scores of the root node, then the alpha beta scores of one branch shouldn't flow to its sister branch, because the root node that used to connect them isn't in the update pipeline

Building your ConnectX agent is hard
I worked on building a minimax agent with alpha-beta pruning

after so many changes finally my neural network (scratch) is working perfectly
This image is that neural net working using mini-batches

You can choose any path
Society: Most promising and safe path

Cultural Heroism is the path of society
School → College → Good Job → Good Family
These are the things everybody wants, and society promises to give them to you
But only in return for something

Heroism is of 2 types: Cultural and Personal
Society → Cultural Heroism
Individual → Personal Heroism
Most people remain stuck because they choose cultural heroism

We are all afraid of death
We make big goals and dreams so people will remember us after we die, and we continue living in their memories
There is a solution to it
It’s called Heroism

There is not much that an average person can do
Those in power don’t understand these technologies
AI is taking more and more jobs
For the near future, becoming a plumber is a safer option, just for some time

Immortality solved!!
We have solved the immortality problem
Digital beings are immortal
They can replicate and create their own copies as many times as they like
There is no death for them because they are just abstract weights

Most companies want people to remain hooked to their apps
So they provide only the content that the user likes
With time, it only gets more extreme
