March 2016. AlphaGo plays Move 37 against Lee Sedol, the entire Internet has a minor spiritual crisis. It felt like a genuine inflection point, the moment AI stopped being a cute and started doing things that could blindside actual experts. That was ten years ago. So here's the question: if you could go back and tell 2016-you everything about AI in 2026, would they be impressed or disappointed? On one hand, the progress is insane by any reasonable standard.
