Watson computer
Jeopardy had a computer named Watson playing today. It was a great show. Tomorrow they'll finish the game with the double jeopardy round. He is quite handsome. Here is PC mag article. Here is youtube test match.

I thought Watson was going to run a away with it but the other 2 guys started to catch up.
I wonder is Watson getting the question before A.T. finishes reading it?

I'm curious how Watson picks a category/amount. Fascinating to watch, regardless.

I particularly liked when Watson gave the same incorrect answer Ken Jennings did just 4 seconds before. Edit: No r in 'Watson'.

Except that there seems to be fewer people that would care if machines took over... "The machines are taking over!" "Oh no!!!!" "But they're offering free cable, donuts and access to Facebook!" "Ah, well, ok then."

Watson kicked tail yesterday.
It looks like the end of the Human race as we know it.

Yes it did. I haven't watched the final yet, but I imagine it will be more of Rutter and Jennings looking frustrated and swearing under their breath.

I'll be impressed when a machine can win on Wipeout. Forget this knowledge garbage! I want to see Robots Falling Down In A Wacky And Gruesome Manner! (RFDIAWAGM for short).
Either that, or send former Jeopardy contestants through the obstacle course. Hmmmm.

Jennings gave Watson a run for the money in the final game, but in the end, the computer was too fast.
On his Final Jeopardy answer, Jennings wrote something like "I welcome our new computer overlords" on his screen. Then as the credits rolled, Rutter and Jennings gave Watson high fives, sort of, then Rutter affixed the devil horns to Watson. Jennings got behing the computer and waved his arms a la Robbie the Robot. Run Will Robinson, run!

Here is the Youtube of the last episode and at the end you can see the comedic antics of the losing humans. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY8NrMVvMDM
