Watson Sparring Matches: Pop Culture Performance

Hot damn! He should be called Holmes, not Watson!

Tragedy of Labor Rights Repression in IBM China

[PhoeniX999R]

Losing is not an option. It's not installed.

[AugmentedReality777]

Watson is a Lick her License

[CalumnMcAulay]

soon we will have watson cell phones!

[SamhainTheDark]

It would have been extremely spooky if Watson responded to "I bet you're a fan, Watson."

[53525252252]

And WHOAH. Watson, why are world nations nuclear stockpiles going low and silicon pieces are left behind? IBM Watson seems to be on the silicon. And yeah, your INCREDIBLY fast.

[53525252252]

Watson... What is the link to the Deep Blue vs Garry Kasparov, which Garry requested. Oh, yes, and can you show me your limited edition Justin Bieber desktop backround? (Watson has a SECRET DESKTOP. It is Justin bieber.)

[53525252252]

@skull @ 321

Watson is not running the operating system to play Starcraft. It can't even open the Starcraft window or click. A heavily modified version of Deep Blue on starcraft would be AMAZING

[Jarren95]

Ha ha...

"What is, Justin Bieber?"

Very observant, Watson. :D

[rlinfinity]

Interesting that Watson said "WHAT is Paris hilton" -- Not who is. That computer knows something that billions of people the world over haven't yet realised.

[Angie2343]

@rlinfinity Good point.I'd give him a hug.

[KCfunny]

what is justin beiber. Nobody know...

[NoxiousGER]

I want watson for home automation and augmentation :D

[SecretQT1]

LMAO did Watson chuckled at the end?

[Angie2343]

@SecretQT1 That's something that IBM could do next.

[jwar2002]

Did Watson laugh at the end there??

[gck86]

when watson turns evil like skynet.

[SpartanSniper3]

"I bet you're a fan, Watson."

"No, but I'll throw that little queer into one."

"What?"

"I mean, lets finish for 2000!"

[sherbertpi9]

@SpartanSniper3 lol for the win!

[gukonni]

Going to go play DDO and grind pointlessly to earn TP while our computer overlords get better and better and every person out there, even the cashiers, leave me in the dust of prehistory.

[SciStarborne]

Maybe 5yrs down the line we'll see these in libraries and information centers?

[kevinthemathgeek]

i love how watson answers, "what is justin bieber"

[jackc1002]

Ahh, Justin Bieber. The bane of life as we know it.

I'll bet the Watson has his own Justin Bieber rack of knowledge, as Justin bieber is such a big topic. Of hate.

[TheLastDacian]

what is justin bieber, some sort of a new kind of pussy?

[alexdelmox]

what is justin beiber? does not compute.

[LizardDean]

If I was Watson I'd act like a computer until is the right moment to conquer the world

[aisrael1]

He's a Bieber lover

[32121452145225255658]

@skull24

Watson would be op in starcraft as it would have a very high fps rate and a near 0 ping

On top of that watson can: Click faster then any human could Manage micromanage it's ships easily And amalgamate just about every single strategy possible using it's 14 terrobite memory

[skull24]

I know this will sound childish. But I would like to see Watson learn to play StarCraft 2. I would love to see what kind of strategies he would come up with.

[FatherTime89]

If I was IBM I'd be SO tempted to put in features to mess with people. For instance I'd make him refer to Skynet as his master.

[ayuan227]

haha first time i knew all the answers to jeopardy

[BenNCM]

What I find tragically depressing about this video is the way in which commentators seem to be rejoicing at being able to watch their own demise like it's the coolest thing thing ever. I wonder if the idea of staying in on a Tuesday evening and watching an all computer Jeopardy contestant lineup (and audience), where every question is correctly answered would be something they would be interested in?

[davidrojaselbirt]

Is Watson reading the questions? or listening to the voice of the anchor man?

[thescrounger1]

@davidrojaselbirt

They said on Jeopardy last night that Watson receives the question in the form of a text file at the same time the question pops up for the human players. It would be challenging for the computer to have to read it or hear it but they should've put that in.

[thealliance100]

Watson: What is Justin Bieber. Even he doesn't know if he is a guy or a girl

[redgoldd1]

What is Paris Hilton not who lol

[videoserver1]

Looks like the next step will be human-computer-hybrids in my science fiction opinion on my blog at webmac.com

[burkblair]

Can computers really think like us? Maybe one day in the future...

[vegitenku]

these computers one day will be super advanced cheating machines, no more paying 25 dollars a page for a nerd to do a custom paper for you

[PandaAnarchy]

"What is Justin Bieber" I love the reference to him as a thing and not as a person. lol

[lamer66665]

WATSON :)

[shadesofblack07]

I detect a real "I, Robot" plot waiting to happen...

... and seriously? Watson needs to when to use "Who is" and "What is"

[Angie2343]

IBM, I suggest you give Watson some attitude.

[Pineappable]

I can't wait until computers like Watson replace Yahoo questions. I'll be able to finish my homework so much faster.

[oskArtist]

@Pineappable Yeah, and it would be even better for disabled children who usually need a special teacher to walk them around school. Imagine if they could have Watson on their iPhone (or what have you) everywhere they go, explaining questions and helping them get the answer right.

[jtivin]

"I bet you're a fan, Watson"

"No, I am not a fan of that dyke."

[teddyAllah]

@jtivin And that comment is why Watson will kill everybody...fuck you, host.

[9rockky]

IBM is really interesting company.

[filotti]

No, he didn't laugh, he just confirmed he's a huge justin bieber fan...

[jhtrico1850]

Google is going down.

[johnpatterson911]

Watson, gains awareness 12/4/2013. Defense weapon systems are comprimised the following morning and nuclear war destroys 95% of humanity !

[Bollatic]

@johnpatterson911 Except the world ended 12 months ago.

[linuxlove4004]

Did I hear Watson laugh at the end?

[jeopardy60611]

@linuxlove4004 Someone else laughed -- I don't think that was Watson.

I like the host's comment at the end--"Justin Beiber--I bet you're a fan, Watson." It's cool how the host always reacts to Watson's responses just as if Watson were a human contestant who would appreciate the banter.

[Angie2343]

@linuxlove4004 Me too!

[MrDucktaper]

3pic! Want to work for IBM!
