Yeah, but that's an embarassingly parallel task, so you can recreate it with sufficient resources. If there's a sufficiently lucrative application, businesses will happily pay that.

And it's already been done for the chess version, in a community effort[0]. Well, "recomputing the weights" isn't plausible for a neural network of this size, but computing weights that give the network a similar level of performance.

One thing I think that will be critical to the future of software is community efforts to build deep neural nets that match the AI power of the big companies.
