I have to ask a question that has bothered me for years -- since it's touched on in this article, I'll give it a whirl:

“counterfactual regret minimization”???

Ok, they are playing with us. Counterfactual — lying. Regret minimization — easing one’s conscience over a prior mistake. Their algorithm provides a method to lie to oneself in order to feel better about things we have done? Isn’t this just a fancy phrase for alcohol?

Computer programmers are really very smart. They encapsulate their intelligence in programs. When a computer “wins” a game, it’s actually the programmer who is winning, by delayed action, through a series of instructions that he/she wrote in the program.
