I agree with you as this makes perfect sense. I'm new to the game Go but have been riveted by these games and the commentary.
Here's where I think you're right. It seems from the commentary during the matches that the pro player thought the game to be close...on every match.
Then the tides turned...or so we thought...and the game always swayed in AlphaGo's favor.
I like how they were saying that the computer changed up the game style as well.
All of this is very interesting, and I see that they have games 4 and 5 listed however I wonder if they are going to go thru with them and play them as scheduled.
Maybe to see if AlphaGo can sweep the series? Or show it wasn't a fluke of any kind?
I hope they play the last two...just to see how AlphaGo plays them. :D
They will play all 5 games in the match. The result can end up 3-2 4-1 or 5-0. Based on the past 3 which ended as sound defeats for Lee with different play styles and approaches (aggressive, calm and a mix typical of his usual game) I expect the final result will be 5-0 for AlphaGo.
He's the one that put that team together. It's because of him that SpaceX exists. Yes, I'm sure he'd be the first to give credit to his team.
You know he said recently that he was going to give less interviews. I'm sure he likes and uses his public persona to help his endeavors...but that's just being smart.
Steve Jobs did the same thing with Apple.
And as for thanking the American people. Hogwash. Did you personally make a choice in this matter? Sure you voted in the officials that did...that's where the money went...and they made the choice to spend it this way.
You know why? Because it's a smart move. A move towards a future where space travel can expand and grow because it will be more economical and feasible to accomplish.
So...yes, of course the engineers should be applauded! And THEY know this! And I'm positive they are celebrating this monumental event.
