I know.. don't be negative.. however, that image along with its caption "Pedestrians checking in on the AlphaGo vs. Lee Sedol Go match on the streets of Seoul (March 13)" was too funny.
(It shows pedestrians ignoring the giant screen that is showing the game.)
- mchahn 11y ago> It shows pedestrians ignoring the giant screen I don't see that. How do you know where their eyes are directed when they are facing away from you?
- johansch 11y agoBecause most people tend to shift their heads to match their gaze when they watch something for more than a fraction of a second.
- jvolkman 11y agoI count 7-8 people that appear to be looking at the screen.
- mratzloff 11y agoI suppose it's a better caption than "No one on the streets of Seoul gives a shit about the AlphaGo vs. Lee Sedol Go match"
- chris_st 11y agoI think it says a lot about how popular Go is in Korea that the games would even be on street signs like this.
- yongjik 11y agoGo is relatively popular, but usually not that popular. (The "street sign" is a giant TV screen. I guess it will just show whatever's on TV at that time.) But last week it seems the whole Korea fixed eyes upon these five matches. The last match was broadcast by all three major TV stations along with several other cable TV stations, with a combined rating of ~13%: better than most shows!
