DVFORBESLISTBLOG gets excited over a publicity stunt:The press is all over this Jeopardy! Challenge, and rightfully so. Such HOLY-CRAP!!!!! innovation from an American company is just what we need at a time when everyone is concerned about America falling behind China and its ilk. Jeopardy! may seem like a silly application for such an expensive effort by one of the world’s largest technology companies, but IBM is testing a system that opens frontiers in software intelligence. [Holy emphasis added]
First off,
one could strongly argue IBM is not an American company. Second building gee-whiz devices will not help the unemployed. Third we won't get out of our funk building an economy that's gee-whiz geniuses and everybody else.
And we can see why this guy lost to Watson.
He says JEOPARDY!!!!!'s "on ABC". What is "syndication"?
