According to the Q&A at the end of the event, one of the main obstacles for using the regular game as output instead of the bot API is that self play would become prohibitively expensive. The AI plays thousands and thousands of games every day and you would need an enormous amount of GPU resources to render all of those.

That's a bullshit argument. You can seperate the CV portion from the analysis portion and just train the analysis portion by giving it realistcally limited information.

That's just equal footing, I say.

To be pedantic, equal footing here would be about GPU resources needed to interpret the images. The point I mentioned was about the GPU resources needed to render them to the screen in the first place.
