Watson on Jeopardy

http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-02-ibm-watson-jeopardy-champs_1.html

Watching the right now.

It did so well up until the first commercial break and then suddenly its performance crashed.

Jennings lost the first round with Rutter and Watson tied at $5000.

I like the avatar they made. You can see Watson think, be elated by success, and be sad when it makes a mistake.

Well, that was quick. They spent a long time talking about Watson so there wasn't enough time for the whole game to run in one day.

If Watson wins, I do hope Jennings and Rutter don't accuse it of cheating like that whiny little ***** Kasparov.

There are two more days of this before it's done...which is why it isn't finished.

So, you guys are on the edge of your seats over a computer playing a gameshow? You do know those wires are connected to something, right?

Destroyed both of them (going into Final Jeopardy W 36000, J 2200, R 5400). Missed the Final Jeopardy but had the foresight to only wager $923.

36000?
