Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

"...Congratulations to Rui Zhao 9-dan for winning another game with a flying knife, extending your overall lead over OMEGA GO to 2-0!"

"Today's knife-throwing victory was so beautiful - completely different from the first game where we won by exploiting a bug, OMEGA GO was completely led by the nose in certain areas, and was ultimately completely defeated in those areas!"

"I wonder... how are you feeling right now?"
"Aren't you incredibly excited?!"

"Ah, actually it's not so bad."

"In fact... I was a little disappointed."

"...Huh?"

"A little disappointing?!"

"Well... I've always been quite knowledgeable about throwing knives. My senior brother, Ni Jue, a ninth-dan master, had a precedent of using strategic planning to study and exploit AI. I'm just inheriting this fine tradition."

"However, what disappointed me most about today's game was that this same 'flying knife' technique appeared five years ago in the Nongshim Cup, in the match between Lei Qi and Xu Xiangheng. I originally wanted to test how Deepbrain could correct those past blind spots, but now... it's quite a pity!"
"The game in which Lei Qi turned the tables on Xu Jiudan was a classic in the Nongshim Cup. This 'flying knife' left a deep impression on many players, and everyone knew very well how to play this local move."

"But the result is that even changes that humans are familiar with make major errors. I really don't know where Fox News got the confidence to think that humans can never defeat AI!"

"This is what is meant by 'being trapped by one's own actions'."

"Ah... okay, okay! Next question: "
"Sports Illustrated just published a short commentary on its official social media, saying that your victory over AI again is a historic feat comparable to a sprinter outrunning a car! There is no longer any controversy that you have become the greatest athlete of all time!"

"The short commentary was widely shared as soon as it was released, and even the current president of the International Olympic Committee, Ms. Coventry, gave it a thumbs up."

What are your thoughts on this?

"Um... I'm very grateful for the recognition from Sports Illustrated."

"But in my opinion, there are many equally great athletes in other sports, and I personally don't care about that."

"Moreover, I don't think that being able to defeat AI is because my strength is so amazing, but because AI is still very, very far from being the god of Go!"

"I hope that everyone can take this opportunity to break free from the mindset that AI is invincible, recognize the unique aspects of human wisdom in Go, and persevere in pursuing the ultimate truth on the Go board."

"Hmm, Rui Zhao, you are still very modest!"

"One last question:"
"After your victory, the discussion surrounding Go on the entire Blue Star Internet has reached a new high. The whole world is hoping that you can win again and bring this human-machine competition to a perfect close!"

"Are you confident about the third game the day after tomorrow?"

"……certainly!
"Based on the level OMEGA GO has shown in the first two games, I am very confident that I can end this best-of-five match with a total score of 3-0!"

"Okay, then I wish you great success, Rui Zhao!"

……

Oh my god!
How did things turn out like this?!
It was 2 a.m. North American time, inside a mansion in California, North America.

Despite the late hour, Musk, who had just finished watching Rui Zhao's post-match interview, was not sleepy at all.

In his view, the crushing defeat in the second game was unimaginable compared to the loss in the first game!
After the first game, they could still argue that the opponent had maliciously exploited a bug in the AI, making their victory unfair. At that time, the overwhelming barrage of attacks from right-wing media, such as "ugly playing style," "opportunistic tactics," and "cheating by chance," could barely cover up DeepBrain's embarrassing situation.

Moreover, after eliminating the risk of the opponent exploiting the bug through "artificial" intelligence, Rui Zhao theoretically no longer poses a threat to AI, and Musk can still maintain enough confidence in the upcoming games!

But now, everything is completely different!

In the second game, Rui Zhao used a throwing knife to once again decisively and overwhelmingly plunge OMEGA GO into the abyss! Rui Zhao's calm yet weighty words in the post-match interview, "On the contrary, I am a little disappointed," echoed in his ears like a curse!

That was the ultimate denial of Deepbrain's technical capabilities, a fatal blow to Musk's business reputation, and it also made the current public opinion battlefield one-sided!

When AI was initially seen crushing human players, many neutral citizens joined the online trolls in mocking Go, saying that professional Go players were simply wasting their time... But as we all know, a major characteristic of the general public is: "They'll help whoever wins."

Seeing OMEGA GO being teased by Yong Shi Zhaojun, netizens changed their tune faster than flipping through a book!

They immediately turned their guns on Musk and mocked him mercilessly! At the same time, as if they had forgotten what they had done before, they began to praise Rui Zhao for representing the brilliance of human wisdom!
Looking at the numerous comments that were mocking Go as useless just over six months ago, but are now shouting "Long live Wang Zhaojun forever" and "the light of human wisdom," Musk felt his temples throbbing!

Even the president of the Japanese association, Kanako Akiyama, led various Rui Zhao fan clubs around the world to frantically promote her on almost all social media platforms—check out [Go Xiao Zhao]!
Just now, the total number of fans of [Weiqi Xiaozhao] across the entire network has exceeded 500 million! The situation has spiraled out of control!
That's not all!
Secretary Jennifer had just called to inform him that the technical lead, Kessler, was very agitated after losing the game and was quite reluctant to play the next one—which only added to Musk's anxiety!

Even the core technical lead was terrified; how can they possibly win the third round?!

If one had to offer a reason, Musk could still console himself: today's game was won by sheer luck because his opponent accidentally exploited a blind spot in the AI's opening; in terms of pure skill, the advantage still lies with him…

But Old Ma isn't stupid!
In the first game, the opponent induced a key bug and gained the initiative. In the second game, the opponent exploited the AI's blind spot and won again.

A single low-probability event is accidental, but a series of low-probability events... that must mean something fishy is going on!

Combined with Rui Zhao's confident attitude at the post-match press conference, Musk was almost certain that the opponent had made extremely thorough preparations for this match, to an unimaginable degree!

He was facing not just a genius chess player, but a huge force supported by the entire Chinese chess world and even the nation!

Thinking about this, Old Ma felt completely numb!

It was as if I were standing on a sinking ship, watching helplessly as the seawater flooded the deck!

Right now, he really wanted to ask Tripp about his request after the first game to inquire about the situation in China, so that he could have some idea of ​​what was going on.

However, after glancing at the time, he decided to ask again the next morning—the exquisite antique clock on the wall showed that it was already past two o'clock, and he really didn't want to face that hot-tempered president at this time.

That's right...

I hope the President won't get so angry he has a stroke when he wakes up tomorrow morning!
A thought with a touch of dark humor flashed through his mind—he could almost picture Tripp's face turning bright red and roaring like thunder when he saw the news of the crushing defeat in the second set!
Musk sighed inwardly, his body sinking wearily into the sofa, wondering if he should take some sleeping pills to force himself to rest for a while, even if it was only for a few hours...

"Buzz...buzz...buzz..."

Just then, the phone that had just been tossed onto the coffee table started vibrating violently!
Musk's body stiffened abruptly, and he instinctively grabbed his phone from the coffee table. The screen clearly displayed the caller's name—[Don Tripp]!
hiss--

Isn't that old golden retriever resting at this hour?!
Musk's expression instantly darkened: The President probably already knows the result of the game and is calling to reprimand him!
Realizing this, Lao Ma frowned, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

But he couldn't ignore the president's call, so after hesitating for a few seconds, Musk changed his tone, carefully considered his reply, and answered the phone:

"Hello, Commander-in-Chief, you..."

"Musco! Quick! Get your men here!"

Before Old Ma could even give a greeting, Tripp's signature commanding tone immediately came from the other end of the phone:

"Let's have a video conference right away!"

"Hold a video conference?!"

Musk, who expected to face the wrath of the superintendent, was taken aback, and then subconsciously glanced at the time on his phone:
"now?!"

"Of course! Do you want to repeat the same mistake in the third set?!"

Tripp's voice suddenly rose, leaving no room for negotiation:
"Just now, our mole in China sent word that the preparations China has made for this human-machine competition are astonishing!"

We must quickly devise a solution, otherwise...

"I'm afraid we'll be stabbed to death by Rui Zhao again in the next game of chess!!!" (End of Chapter)
