Would be interesting to see alpha zero trained on 2048, conv nets seem well suited for this kind of game.

This is likely to be a piece of cake for alpha zero given the number of states are lot less than Go.

I would like to see how high it could get to, how much higher than 2048 could it go?

Oh,I misread this title and thought it was going to be about maths in the year 2048.

Me too. I kind of expected a dystopian article where people in 2048 are so badly educated that the most advanced math they can do is count U.S. states one by one!

Kind of disappointed it's not that, to be honest :)

I was expecting a maths where quantum computation had taken over analytic number theory and theorems could be proved using brute force enumeration.Or something
