Wow, Lee Sedol just resigned. First game goes to AlphaGo. I wasn't sure who would win the 5 matches, but I never expected AlphaGo to win the first game!
I am so stoked for this match, Lee Sedol is a child prodigy and a legend....I literally felt as excited as I was going in McGregor vs Diaz before the fight.
I used to play Go when I was a kid on televised matches in Korea during the 90s and have woken up early on saturdays watching every game live on tv. Then I'd go to these Go school after class and there'd be like 30 students studying and fighting.
Go is a hugely appealing game to intuitive people rather than logical people who prefer Chess. Go is an infinitely more complex and at these Pro levels a demigod like Lee Sedol have the same fanatic followings.
so I watched this last night and it was an earth shattering moment...like no fucking way sedol gonna get bamboozled by a computer right?
AlphaGo winning was the cherry on top but what was really even more intense was the actual battle in itself. It was like Lee Sedol was playing himself but a version of him that would get better and better each time Sedol attacked. AlphaGo surprisingly chose the right strategy which was to be aggressive right back.
Overall, I could identify with the commentator's excitement and sort of apprehension that the first battle against the Machines have begun and lost the first round.
Lee Sedol must have been taken back at how good AlphaGo is I think he seriously underestimated it because he had a lot of hubris and over confidence going in like 'yeah imma smack the shit out of alphago' and then it after the match is like 'damn gg'.
The biggest ground breaking realization is that deep learning has become so good that it is possible to outperform a human even in previously thought impossible problems....who would've thought a bunch of logic gates fast forward 40 years we have machines that beat us in our own games? 80 years from now what will things look like?
It's a real reckoning and I really feel the drive to learn deep learning just don't know where to start

No one can believe it. Myungwan Kim 9p says it's likely Lee Sedol feels like he could have won. He also says Alpha Go is likely stronger than he is.

The second game should be a doozy since Lee Sedol will definitely know what to expect and come in full force!
