I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 220 It’s time for the legend to end (first update of words)

The Korean Chess Institute costs five million dollars!
Li Shishi's three million dollars!

Is it really about money?

The year before last was the highest-earning year in Lee Se-sil's career, with annual income of 14 billion Korean won.

How much is the equivalent of Mai Yuan?

It is equivalent to a little over one million Mai Yuan, and less than seven million Da Zhou coins.

But the prize money for the Jin Li Ten-Game Chess match alone is five million Da Zhou coins!

As for the Jin-Li Ten-Game Chess Tournament, they had been searching for a scapegoat for a long time, and finally they found a home textile company that sponsored a prize of 5 million Da Zhou coins, which made it possible.

After the ten-game match between Wu Qingyuan and Gao Chuange, there has not been another ten-game match in the Go world for sixty years. This time, the Da Zhou Go Academy wanted to create a gimmick to suit the occasion, so they looked for sponsors and put together a Jin Li ten-game match, in which Jin Li, a leader of the previous generation of the Da Zhou Go world, would face Lee Se-sil, who has been ranked number one in the world for nearly a decade.

The Ten-Game Chess Tournament only happens once every sixty years, so the prize money is naturally a record-breaking one.

With this bonus, Li Shishi also had a comfortable and prosperous year.

The year before, he only earned 380 million Korean won.

It’s only equivalent to less than 300,000 Malaysian dollars…

For ordinary people, this amount of money is certainly not a small amount.

But Lee Se-sil was number one in the world at that time.

Three million dollars is basically equivalent to the total income of Li Shishi in ten years.

Moreover, Lee Sejin is obviously past his prime and is not young anymore. He might have to retire soon. The 3 million dollars is equivalent to giving him an extra pension. How could he not agree?

What happened to the great chess player? The great chess player also has to eat.

What's more, compared to AlphaGo, which held press conferences and published papers, Li Shishi had a greater favorable impression of Orange, which was just a flash in the pan on the Internet.

Like Gu Jie, who also played against Orange, after this game, he was basically able to confirm that Orange was an artificial intelligence.

And the mysterious sponsor who gave him 3 million dollars most likely wanted this Orange to fight on his behalf.

Apart from the mysterious Orange, he couldn't think of any other chess player who could defeat the terrifying AlphaGo.

Google provides the stage and Orange performs on it. This company is quite evil-hearted.

This is an attempt to step on Google to get to the top.

However, these have nothing to do with me. I should adjust my mindset and make money to support my family.

He now has a beautiful wife and a lovely daughter. After all, he is no longer the 17-year-old boy, Lee Se-sil, rd dan, who confronted the Korean Chess Institute and refused to participate in the promotion tournament.

From now on, Go will probably be dominated by AI.

Li Shishi had anticipated this.

Although he only lost half a point today, he was very clear that this was not AlphaGo's strongest strength. Before the endgame, AlphaGo should have calculated that it could win half a point. In the final stage, it was not greedy and adopted an extremely safe approach, which firmly maintained the half-point advantage.

In the closing stages, he felt just like when he was facing Lee Chang-ho right after his debut.

In this game, at the beginning, he had the opportunity to use Orange's new three-three pattern to establish an advantage.

The reason why he didn't use it was because he felt that Orange was most likely AI.

No matter how good AI chess is, it is not as good as human chess.

This is Lee Se-sil's dignity as a great chess player.

Human chess has warmth and character.

The grandeur of Masaaki Takemiya, the solidity and balance of Liu Weiping, the lightness and agility of Niu Xiaochun, the meticulousness and caution of Li Changhao, the variety of changes of Gu Jie, and he himself is the wolf hiding in the snow, forbearing for several hours just to reveal that fatal blow!
But in the future, these should no longer be seen.

In order to win, everyone will use the same tactics, it’s just a matter of who learns to be more like AI.

Is this the kind of Go I am pursuing?

No one can feel the wheel of time rolling over him more than Lee Se-sil, who was just defeated 2:0 by AlphaGo, running over his body, his face, and even the life goal he has been fighting for for thirty years.

Go may not die, but I don’t like this kind of Go.

Maybe, as my wife said, it is time to consider my future.

Today, human Go comes to an end because of ourselves; tomorrow, let me also open the curtain of Go in the AI ​​era!
-
Orange is an artificial intelligence! ?
Gu Jie's words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, causing a huge uproar in the Great Zhou.

Serious big waves.

And this huge wave is also spreading to Japan, Korea and Angmai through the pervasive Internet.

It even somewhat diluted Lee Se-sil's enthusiasm for exercising the right to "talk chess" in the third game. (Note 1)

"Gu Jie said that the mysterious chess player Ju Zi is also an artificial intelligence. Is it true or false?"

"A mysterious person said that Orange is indeed an artificial intelligence, and it is suspected to be a confidential project that must be killed."

"Gu Jie is trying to save his reputation. It's not shameful to lose a game of chess, but it's shameful to have bad chess character!"

“Is Orange AI? Liu Weiping can’t even say.”

"The rise of domestic AI? Unfortunately, it is probably still a misunderstanding - an interview with Yu Kai, vice president of Qianxun"

"Yicheng President Li Zeyong: "We are unable to contact the chess player Ju Zi and cannot confirm whether Ju Zi is an artificial intelligence, but he has only lost one game to Gu Jie."

Suddenly, the word orange, like apple, quickly took on a meaning beyond just fruit for technology enthusiasts.

And Gu Jie is once again at the center of public opinion.

Gu Jie was young and full of energy. After a high-intensity confrontation with netizens on Weibo, he successfully got the Da Zhou Chess Academy to issue a gag order against him.

In response to this, Gu Jie reluctantly posted an emoji of a person with a zipper on his mouth on Weibo.

……

"Demi, is there any problem with the game this afternoon?" The bearded Larry Page and Sergey Brin are no longer the youthful and shy people they were when they first started their business more than a decade ago. (Note 2)

The place you live in changes your aura and the nourishment you take changes your body. These two young men who once started a business in a garage have gained something called aura after more than ten years of wealthy life.

Hassabis was relaxed: "At present, AlphaGo is strong enough to deal with all chess players on the planet. What I am worried about now is whether the victory in tomorrow's game will cause public concern about AI."

"So, for the fourth game, I plan to use the version from a few days ago to let AlphaGo show some weaknesses. If necessary, I can hint to the opponent where AlphaGo's weaknesses are." Hassabis said his thoughts calmly.

Even if one is an unparalleled genius, in front of the world's most powerful people, he can only maintain his dignity by being neither humble nor arrogant on the surface.

Sergey Brin scratched his messy hair. He, Schmidt and Larry Page had been partying every night these days. The Koreans were so hospitable and knew how to have fun.

"I like this idea, hahaha, the public is stupid, and sometimes giving them a little comfort can reduce the public's fear of AI." Sergey Brin shrugged, "I will also attend the post-match press conference tonight, please prepare well. Larry, do you want to go to the lounge for a drink?" After that, Sergey Brin and Larry Page walked out of the temporary control room as if no one was around.

At this moment, Fan Hui, who had been staring at his phone, called Hassabis: "Demi, you should take a look at this."

Hassabis walked up to Fan Hui and saw a chess game on the computer in front of Fan Hui.

"What is this? Whose chess record is this? Why should I look at this?" Hassabis was a little confused.

Fan Hui pushed his glasses and said, "This was a game played by Gu Jie and an online chess player named Juzi two months ago. They played two games in total, and Gu Jie lost both games. This is the second game."

Gu Jie lost?
Of course Hassabis knew who Gu Jie was. They had previously considered challenging Gu Jie, who was ranked first and had just won three world championships. However, due to the complicated relationship between Da Zhou and Gu Gou and many thorny issues to deal with, they chose Lee Se-sil, who was basically at the same level as Gu Jie.

Two months ago, that was the time when Gu Jie was in the best condition, but he lost both games?

"Is Orange a professional chess player?" Hassabis was also a little curious.

Fan Hui shook his head. "I asked you to come over and take a look because no one knows who Ju Zi is. It's hard to tell from his chess style. Just now, when Gu Jie was commentating on the match between AlphaGo and Lee Se-sil, he suddenly said that he thought Ju Zi was also an artificial intelligence."

Is Orange also an artificial intelligence?

How can this be?

Right now, the only team in the world that can compete with DeepMind in academic competition is a team under Feisibubu, and that team has not even solved the problem of imitating chess at this stage, let alone defeating top chess players.

How is it possible for an artificial intelligence to appear that is stronger than Gu Jie in chess?
"What do you think?" Hassabis still believes in Fan Hui's professional qualities as a professional chess player.

Fan Hui's eyebrows and eyes were squeezed together. "This game of chess is very strange. Gu Jie's performance is not bad. Although I haven't studied some of his moves thoroughly, they should be brilliant moves."

"But there are many moves in Orange's game that I don't quite understand, which is the same feeling I had when I first played chess with AlphaGo."

"We may need to use AlphaGo to analyze this game."

Huang Shijie, who was one meter away, was sitting in front of the computer, frowning: "I just asked AlphaGo to analyze it, and the results are out."

"On the 16th move, AlphaGo thought the probability of a human betting here was less than one in 20. On the 72th move, it was less than one in , and on the nd move, it was also less than one in ."

"That is to say, in the chess records that AlphaGo has been trained with before, these three moves have never existed in history."

"From this point of view, Orange does have some characteristics of artificial intelligence, but it cannot be confirmed 100% yet."

Something that has never existed in history?
Hassabis' heart skipped a beat.

"Can AlphaGo beat Orange?" Fan Hui asked curiously. He was not from DeepMind, but just a specially hired tester. The contract only lasted until the end of this game, so naturally he was not under that much pressure.

"I don't know." Dr. Huang shook his head. "This is just a chess game. I can't predict how Orange will react to different situations, so I can't judge the opponent's strength."

Hearing Huang Shijie's words, Hassabis couldn't help but frown.

"No matter what, let's win the afternoon game first." Hassabis took a deep breath.

As long as AlphaGo wins one more game against Lee Se-sil this afternoon, it will be the world's first artificial intelligence to truly defeat top human chess players in a public game!
Regardless of whether this orange is a human or an artificial intelligence, DeepMind is now only one step away from reaching the top of the world. Others have no chance of catching up!
"I never thought that Gaoli is such an interesting place. Xu said there are other programs tonight..."

"Sergey, actually, when that woman climbed up here yesterday, I did feel a little disgusted. I never thought these Korean women would actually..."

Larry Page and Sergey Brin were chatting and laughing in the elevator about the horizons that the tycoons had opened their eyes to, without any hesitation about the four bodyguards around them.

As the elevator door opened, Page passed by Brin and two young men who were about to enter the elevator.

Are they a young couple? The guy is very tall. Asians are getting taller and taller. The young girl seems to be even hotter than the girl groups I saw last night…

Sergey Brin was attracted by Shen Shuyao's swaying and plump back. He couldn't help but look at her twice more and even whistled involuntarily.

If it weren't for the dissolute playboy lifestyle that made Sergey Brin indulge in these two days and made him think that all Asian women are xx, he would never have behaved in such a frivolous way.

"Larry Page? Sergey Brin?" The tall and strong Asian man entered the elevator, suddenly grabbed the elevator door with his hands to prevent it from closing, and raised his eyebrows at the two of them.

The four bodyguards were visibly nervous and put their hands into their arms.

They sensed a strong sense of danger from this strong young man.

Guns are also banned in Korea, but that doesn't mean they don't have any lethal weapons other than guns.

"Yes, if you want an autograph, maybe next time." Sergey Brin turned around and shrugged.

Just a moment ago, he also felt an extremely strong aura coming from the other party, which made him feel a little guilty.

It was like he was suddenly back in high school, as a nerdy kid facing off against the wing of the school football team.

Damn Wright, yes, that’s the name, winger Wright.

"AlphaGo is indeed very strong to have defeated Lee Se-sil, and Google is indeed a legendary company."

"Thank you." Larry Page pulled Sergey Brin and ignored Fang Yu.

"What I mean is that the legend should come to an end." Fang Yu showed two rows of white teeth, smiled, and plagiarized Gu Jie's famous saying.

"I hope you can still be in a good mood tonight."

The elevator door slowly closed, and Larry Page and Sergey Brin looked at each other.

Is the legend coming to an end?

It's amazing!

What strange Koreans.

But the English he speaks is very standard.

There are still two hours before the third game begins. Let's go to the lounge for a drink first. It seems that we are going to the villa of LG Chairman tonight. I wonder what the arrangements are.

Sergey Brin and Larry Page had a quick bite in the executive lounge, chatted for a while, and then took the elevator back to the control room on the sixth floor.

"Lee Se-sil has arrived. There are two seats across from each other today? Oh, yes, let's talk chess. Who is Lee Se-sil's partner?"

"It's not clear yet, but no matter who it is, AlphaGo will not lose to human chess players. Now AlphaGo's chess strength is enough to defeat all human chess players when giving the upper hand. This gap cannot be made up by the number of people." Demis Hassabis calmly pointed at the rows of screens and explained to Sergey Brin and Larry Page.

"The representative of the other party is here. Haha, have you noticed that this guy and Huang are like twin brothers, hahaha. Sorry, I don't mean to disrespect Huang, I just can't tell the difference between Asian people's looks." Sergey Brin laughed.

"He seems more like a Silicon Valley programmer than a chess player, hahahaha."

"Looks familiar?" David Silva touched his chin.

At this moment, the chess player who looked like a programmer whispered a few words to Li Shishi. Li Shishi nodded, picked up a black piece from the chess box, and with a snap, placed it at the position three three above the chessboard!
Note 1: Xiangtanqi refers to the game in which you can form a team to discuss with each other. In the earliest Tengen battle between Wu Qingyuan and Honinbo Shusai, Honinbo actually used Xiangtanqi to deal with Wu Qingyuan. At that time, this game lasted for a full three months. Honinbo Shusai frequently asked to close the game, and after closing the game, he took it back for his disciples to study. Finally, all the members of Honinbo's school worked together to come up with a brilliant move, which turned the defeat into victory and won Wu Qingyuan by two points.

However, under the four-hour time limit of modern Go, talking chess does not actually increase the chance of winning. On the contrary, everyone has different ideas, which can easily cause interference. For example, after the man-machine battle between Ke Jie and AlphaGo, the Go Association organized a talking chess game between top players and AlphaGo, which ended in a disastrous defeat.
