About this episode
From a baffling early-game move that shocked pros to a broader reckoning with how AI reshapes strategy and science, this episode dives into the 2016 Lee Sedol–AlphaGo match. We unpack move 37, its field-shaping genius, and how AlphaGo’s unconventional intuition foreshadowed AlphaFold—showing how humans and machines can push each other toward new heights of imagination, and what that means for our own habits and breakthroughs.
