A Grandmaster chess player is very likely to have a much higher IQ than any actress, sports star, or influencer. That said, he didn’t like Putin in the past so it is not surprising he doesn’t like Putin now.
College professors probably have a higher IQ too and I don’t trust what they think either.
“He was eventually beaten by a Chess Playing Supercomputer created by IBM named Deep Blue.”
That was such a weird PR stunt.
1. IBM beats the greatest chess guy and then immediately gets out of the chess biz. No rematches planned despite public interest.
2. The science(!) and AI narrative gets a huge boost as our best human chess player is defeated. All bow before your HAL gods.
3. IBM makes no further progress in the field since this victory in 1997, 25 years ago.
It doesn’t take a 3D chess player to see the whole thing stunk. Simplest explanation is to take a dive, get a big retirement package.
