    I welcome our new robot overlords!

    You guys hear about the big jeopardy thing going on? Basically a machine named Watson vs the two top jeopardy contestants ever.

    Watson is dominating the competition. Theres one more round tomorrow, but I think Watson will wipe the floor with the filthy meatbags.

    Yeah, I watched both episodes. Watson owns that Mormon so hard.


    Too bad it doesn't recognized Toronto is not a U.S. City.

    I really enjoyed how they displayed Watson's "top three answers" % during all the times it buzzed in. I wished they would have displayed it during Final Jeopardy.

              Kind-of a nice explanation as to why it said Toronto. It matched "America" with "USA" and since technically Canada is in "North America". It said Toronto.

                Watson is a BEAST!

                If you guys can find the NOVA episode on him, they show him at earlier stages of development, where he gives quite a few hilarious non-sequitur answers. Who knew the 1859 US Navy flew banners that read "September 11, 2001 Attacks"?

                  Oh, I thought its answer of Toronto was just a cute little bow out, to be like, "Whoops, I screwed up on Final Jeopardy and I still beat your butts."

                  Kinda like how that Mormon guy answered, "This term for a long-handled gardening tool can also mean and immoral pleasure seeker," with, "What is a hoe?" when he knew the real answer is, "What is a rake?"

                    Did they still accept the answer?

                      No. For the record I thought the correct answer was "what is a hoe" as well. It was like that Wheel of Fortune segment in South Park; you're wondering "would they really ask for that answer?!?" but you can't think of anything more appropriate so you answer it anyway.

                        But they asked a question with TWO valid answers!

                            I don't think they don't accept slang in Jepordy unless the answer specifies for it. Probably why.

                              Yeah, they don't accept slang.

                              Almost Jeopardy time. I'm going to guess Watson is going to blow them out yet again.
