Well, You must be in another time zone because as of my posting the program has not been shown yet!
----------------------------------------But I didn't have any worries that he would not less he had a break down. On the other hand I would think IBM knew "he" would win. I'm still going to watch it!  [Edit 1 times, last edit by TrustedDragon at Feb 16, 2011 11:25:36 PM] |

I'm glad WCG is getting half a mil, (hopefully it is in ADDITION
----------------------------------------to what it was getting...) But it was kinda sad to see another area where humans were supreme (some humans I am horrible at Jeopardy). I loved Ken at the end his comment on the Final question, something like 'I welcome our new computer overlords' At least it isn't true AI yet, but a Fascinating 'machine learning' Quite impressive.  |

Any transparency on what new capabilities will get WCG from this large amount of money? I'd like to know.... ! https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/...d_thread,30293_offset,160 |
