Great, now I'll just have to watch the video later.

Does he flub the Final Jeopardy question again?

haha did he really beat jennings? awesome

Do we know the delay that Watson has before he rings in? Human reaction speed is only so fast.

Ken has been losing to Brad anyway.

I wonder what would happen in an alternate version of Jeopardy where each of them gets to answer independently, rather than just the first to the buzzer.

>>2547867
I'm not sure of the exact mechanism for Jeopardy. But I know that Watson has a mechanical button to "press", and that you can't successfully buzz in until the question has been completely read.

>>2547861

He got it right and bet a lot of money

>>2547867

It's zero.

The contestants were bitching about that, since they said they had the answer, but the robot rung in before they could move.

They were visibly frustrated.

>>2547886

Who cares if they're butthurt? Clearly Watson knew the answer and knew it before them.

Wait, I thought it was an hour from now?

I'll take some butthurt if losing netted me 100K (3nd place) 200K (2nd place)

We seem to get it earlier in Minnesota

They must have known they were going to lose. There's no way a company like IBM would brodcast their allegedly intelligent supercomputer if they ever had any doubt it could win. No way. Ken and Brad would be naive to think they ever stood a chance.

they got 100 and 200 thousand dollars each, respectively

It only won on reaction time.

>>2547944
I agree that they wouldn't go forward if they thought they would lose miserably, but I hope you're not suggesting this was staged or illegitimate somehow.

>>2547954
I think he was propsing the exact opposite

I have to think that ken and brad are rusty. Didn't ken talk about how he and his family would train extensively before jeopardy runs? Maybe IBM didn't give him enough prep time.

Oh well. I hate this machine for how wall street is going to implement it. A machine that can process all of the info on the internet and hand it to greedy capitalists? Fucking great.

>>2547958

Not "only"

It knew a similar amount of the correct answers.

Vote for more progressive taxes. Write your congressman.

Using machines on wall street? You're about thirty years too late, buddy.

You shouldn't look up high frequency trading then, for one.

Also, can anyone help me put this sentence into stricter English?

If anybody loves Betty, then Betty loves him/her.

"Although Kasparov wanted another rematch, IBM declined and ended their Deep Blue program."

IBM confirmed for scared faggots tier

>>2548002
you mad?

People over 14 generally stop responding to "are you CHICKEN?!?!?!"

>>2547985

I know they use machines now. But they don't have ones that can read the internet. Goldman Sachs will probably buy 5 alone just so they can find new ways of cheating.

I bet they'll get tax payers to float the bill.

>>2548002

go to bed, kasparov
