  • "A collossal superbeing. Once it achieves consciousness, I'd say the human race has pretty much served it's purpose" - Dogbert

  • The Watson hype was totally bogus. The only reason the thing won was because it had an unfair advantage at buzzing in for the answer...You could see Jennings and the other guy were frustrated because they knew the answers but couldn't beat the machine to the buzzer. That's got nothing to do with knowledge or intellect. In fact that's been one of the weaknesses of Jeopardy. A contestant who has run up a big lead isn't necessarily the most knowledgable, but the fastest....

  • woah...

  • I'll be baack!

  • SKYNET 

  • @ShiningTitan well once it learns how to grow legs, and can run after humans, it's a fairly safe world

  • @redilliop but by the time they've run out, they'd probably have taken control of at least ONE outlet.

  • @ShiningTitan they don't last forever!
