Game 2 is live now, come talk shit and post cute Alphago's from the Lee Sedol matches. Speculate on humanities future if Alphago wins and takes over, or Ke Jie will restore the honour of humanity. There should be a play-by-play here; online-go.com/overview
I don't know if I got the link correctly, phoneposting is cancer
>brings in cute girls They know their audience. The YouTube girl was 4d while the left one in white was 1d right?
Xavier Gutierrez
>not being riveted to your seat by Michael Redmond talking about go
Liam Jones
Girls in suits are my biggest fetish and they seem fairly competant
Owen Ross
It's interesting how these commentators keep going in completely different directions than what's actually getting played. And then missing that shit's going on.
Ayden Hill
That happened during Lee's matches too if I remember. Unsurprising, they're trying to explain all the possibilities to the audience
Henry Russell
Yeah, it's just odd that they're explaining all the possibilities...except the one that happens.
Josiah Cox
I suppose it is impossible for man to understand the gods
Jose Garcia
To a certain degree, that's the point. They're telling us why they didn't do all the things that they didn't do.
Aiden Rodriguez
It looks like a boat on the bottom. Used to look like a fish. I liked the fish better.
Kevin Nguyen
Now it looks like a whaaaale
Samuel James
They should've gone all-out with the Machine-Plays-Go angle. AlphaGo should be capable of reading the board, placing pieces and making smug expressions.
Ayden Price
Ke resigned.
Zachary Morris
Dammit. 2-0 robo wife. Guess she's the undisputed master now
Ayden Anderson
Wasn't there another go master who said they'd need 9 top level players laying together to beat Alphago?
Hunter Murphy
I don't really know much about Go.
How good is Ke Jie compared to Lee Sedol?
I know Lee is supposed to be pretty damn good, but not quite the most elite.
Nolan Wood
Was Ke Jie the one who trashed talked Lee for losing and claimed he could beat Alphago every time?
Xavier Anderson
It's just banter, user.
Brayden Sullivan
Banter he couldn't back up. Gotta be humiliating. He publicly smacked Lee for going 1-4 and it looks like he's gonna go 0-3
James Walker
If he could back it up, it wouldn't be banter, just boasting.
Ayden Rogers
Bump, also in a little bit I'll be down to play. I don't promise any level of skill
Robert Williams
No-one to play? I wonder if there's a discord or anything.
Asher White
Ded. Guess this is it until the third game
Isaiah Bailey
bump
Asher Sanchez
I play but i'm shitty, i was 1kyu a few years ago but now i'm probably 5kyu or something
i'm open for a discord or something, it would be fun
Carter Powell
Misread alphago as ahegao. This thread is less interesting than I hoped for.
Cameron Gray
Alphagao will rock your world
Jackson Stewart
On the other hand, AlghaGo is three stones stronger than she was when she played Lee.
Leo Hall
Really?
Julian Harris
No way in hell that's true. It's significantly better, but three stones is hyperbole.
Still, at this point, it's obvious beyond a doubt that Alphago is playing at a higher level than any current human player. Alphago has made massive innovations in the early game that were previously believed to be suboptimal moves, and pros are currently in the process of trying to figure out why they're effective. They're completely outgunned until they have a solid understanding of Alphago's style instead of just experimenting with it.
Lee Sedol was a previous #1 player who's past his prime, but still a top 10 player. Ke Jie is #1 who's just reaching his prime. About 100 elo stronger, which means his win:loss ratio against Lee Sedol would be about 2:1.
Andrew Sanders
They just had a 5v1 team game during the same summit where Alphago narrowly won. There's a pretty heavy diminishing return on adding extra players to live play though, so it's not like they're that much stronger than a single player.
Hunter James
Wow I didn't realize this happened. I'm starting with Match 1, lots to catch up on. Even though I'm a beginner with Go it was really enjoyable to watch Redmond's commentary last year. A Veeky Forums go group started up last year during alphago v sedol, I didn't play much but I hoped it would survive. It probably didn't though.
Jose Torres
The group still technically exists on OGS. I should challenge them randomly to games. Or force Go threads 24/7, or at least during the times I'm awake.
Adrian Russell
>playing the 3,3 point
Gabriel Cook
He picked that up from watching Alphago games where she does it frequently. Get with the times, daddio.
Easton Young
Exactly as alphago intended.
Anthony Powell
...
Colton Adams
Where's the best place to find Alphago fanart? I have a new crush.
Sebastian Flores
I would like to see a rival AI start up on Go servers in the hopes of attracting Master's attention, that would be dramatic
Lucas Butler
Western technology beats Eastern mysticism yet again.
China trying to censor the bad news that makes it look like Google opium-warred them the second time.
I am really excited for alphago's (and just more generally this sort of "deep learning") potential in teaching. Examining your games (or repeated trials of any sort), providing exactly the opportunities you have to overcome blocks you yourself don't even see.
I'd like to see it applied directly to something like a musical instrument guide bot.
