rtw88 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Did the computer actually do well? I need to watch this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattacus Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I can't wait for the next two days but I really wish they were hour long episodes to provide enough time for the information and the game play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewc Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Yeah, everyone should just watch this http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/tech/smartest-machine-on-earth.html, for the back story, and leave the game play for Jeopardy. Splitting up games like that is just weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cactusbot Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I loved how Watson picked the Daily Double with his first pick. Also, Brad was killing Jennings when he actually got to buzz in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethingvinyl Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I watched tonight's episode. I knew that computer was going to beat those guys. It's a computer, after all. And it's learned and continues to learn. But I thought it was funny he missed the Final Jeopardy question but only risked like $400. After reading Ken Jennings blog, he seems like a much cooler guy than I imagined. He's damn near a genius, which typically eliminates some social skills. But he's a Mormon also. I'm not saying smart people or Mormons are socially inept, but from my experience, people who are ridiculously smart cannot relate to average people. And Mormons are really worried about your soul, so they typically talk about that. Though, Mormons are usually the nicest people to talk to about anything else.
