Wondering when researchers will switch from "race to the moon" mode to looking at better optimization techniques instead of just throwing money at the problem.

I know some companies are doing that, but I think looking at AlphaGo or AGZ and making it go faster should be an interesting problem in itself.

Can you share the names of those companies, or some of their projects? At least that way people who thinks like you can follow those efforts and try to give them more visibility.
