One of the things that made Blackberry devices so ubiquitous in what seems like an era gone by was that they could be used by enterprises without having to worry about fragmentation, patches and security. Yes, yes - the other thing was the cheap, perpetually available internet connection which made it so people could never get away from their damned emails and messaging.

If you’ll recall, Google’s DeepMind created an AI that bested the world’s best Go players. It’s an incredibly complex Chinese board game that takes years to master. The AI learned how to play it in just 8 hours. Now, a descendent of that AI, called AlphaZero - has beaten the world’s top chess program, Stockfish.
