Google Just Open Sourced TensorFlow, Its Artificial Intelligence Engine

O’Reilly had just tried the new Google Photos app, and he was amazed by the depth of its artificial intelligence.

O’Reilly was standing a few feet from Google CEO and co-founder Larry Page this past May, at a small cocktail reception for the press at the annual Google I/O conference—the centerpiece of the company’s year. Google had unveiled its personal photos app earlier in the day, and O’Reilly marveled that if he typed something like “gravestone” into the search box, the app could find a photo of his uncle’s grave, taken so long ago.

Let´s see what apple will make out of this XD

Something overpriced and derivative, I'm sure. That said: exciting news. Open access to advanced tech is a great thing, in my opinion.

A lot of us live by the search engine these days, it will make a nice tool. Are they saying it's more advanced than Apple's Siri? Or the other AI like search engines?

Step two towards Skynet underway.

Step one was getting everyone to trust google by giving them all of their personal information and allowing them to track our every move and monitor us.

Step two, perfect AI so that it does not need human interaction to function.

Step three, finish working on bi-pedal robots for speed, strength, and balance.

Step four, combine above steps and arm them with weapons...

Step five, unleash the terminators.

Probably a collective implementation of methods in the literature, similar to OpenCV. Nothing too exciting. This can potentially make some lazy engineers happy.

I say we skip bipedal and go straight to spider legs, then hover units. Two legs aren't even that exciting.

They're gonna gitcha! Gonna gitcha! Boogity boogity boo!

But yes, I, too, prefer companies that don't give a shit about their customers, engage in countless acts of immoral and outright illegal behavior, squash anything and everything that even considers competing with them (as opposed to just making a better product that people prefer), and otherwise are the antithesis of what Google's always been.

I mean, if you don't use Google's search engine or email service, they literally send some black-armored goons to your house, kick down your door, and put assault rifles to your head until you switch back. That's how wicked and evil they are. No one uses those services because they're really good and trustworthy. Nope. It's, like, something they put in the water maybe. Or alien radio waves beamed directly into your head. Yeah, that's probably what it is. Alien radio waves, man. Alien radio waves.

Anyway, I don't trust them either. They're big and powerful, ergo, they are trying to steal all my worthless secrets, like what kind of porn I like and stuff (that I voluntarily involuntarily-because-of-alien-radio-waves type into their search engine, and which they totally monitor and sell to the government so that they can come and do all the aforementioned stuff or whatever).

Dey's gonna git us! Halp! Haaaaalp!

Totes switching to Bing or something. Cause Microsoft, now there's a good, wholesome business that wouldn't dream of doing anything immoral and which has no history whatsoever of being the epitome of the big, evil, douchebag corporation hellbent on becoming a monopoly.

Indeed! Spider Tanks in every size!

This is good for general routine ML apps but is nothing too exciting. Thins like Mallet, deeplearning4j and such were available for a while now. For the cutting edge DL, you will have to design and fully implement your own network architectures anyway.

Skynet, motherfucker, Skynet!!!!!!

Could you use this for NPC game AI?

Hard to figure out what kind of method that is. Training resembles some sort of ML algorithm. ML algorithms require a lot of offline time (training). They are also not reliable. Most of them are not even suitable for real time applications such as games. Be it ML or classical search/optimization algorithm, they are computationally demanding. I've seen 3-day-runtime (training + classification) for MATLAB implementation of a biometric algorithm. There are NN-based AI implementations for backgammon an such games but a FPS game, for example, is just too complex. I don't see tensorflow leading an AI revolution in game industry as most, if not all, of the stuff here is known yet still not utilized by companies.
