One of my favorite quotes is from this movie. I think about it a lot.
If DeepMind has figured out how to write code that doesn’t have bugs, that is a bigger news story than AlphaGo.
— Andrew Jackson, AlphaGo Documentary
You can find this quote at about the 1 hour, 9 minute mark: https://youtu.be/WXuK6gekU1Y?t=4148

The quote is ironic because the “bug” that they were talking about was just AlphaGo working as designed. But many commentators at the time were so awestruck by its three decisive victories that they were speculating for explanations. They thought that it suffered from a programming mistake that ruined its performance.

I still find the part from 1:11:56 until 1:14:32 such an incredibly wholesome piece of film and go history.
