As mentioned in the opening note, Max Chiswick and I are working on launching an online class that provides a ladder of practical challenges between “write a bot that plays tic-tac-toe” and “write a bot that achieves the 2019 state of the art in no-limit texas holdem”. I’m excited to be working on this and teaching it not because I think that programming game-playing AIs is the great important skill of our time, but because I think that thinking about systematically playing imperfect-information games is one of the best ways to sharpen your skills at systematically reasoning under uncertainty.
If this is of interest to you, we’ll be running a beta test of the course material from July 15 to August 15, in-person, in San Francisco. More information here or reach out on any channel that reaches me. EDIT: Signups for the beta have gone to a waitlist, as we have more students than capacity. We’re hoping to run additional iterations in-person in NYC and remote-first starting in September, so please sign up to the mailing list if either of those are of interest.

I’m interested! But I live in Portugal, so it would need to be remote.
You can certainly join our mailing list and you’ll hear when we launch remotely!
