I love how every comment by the uploader managed to find itself into negative thumbs... XD

: you prove again that you're a dumb racist nazi.

While you're at it, you probably also thinks : "Too bad Excel didn't exists back then, we could have show some nice little graph of how many innocents we've killed. Powerpoint is also a cool tool to display this kind of information."

I just have 1 question for Watson. Will it blend?

[Alexandre Leite]

Yeah, and what is the matter? May be the start of another, better civilization. All of us will die eventually. I prefer to be succeded by someone (or something) better than me. The problem may be whether they will be really better (in some sense) than us. I prefer to believe that, if they surpass us, they will be better, at least in this universe's own natural selection rules.

Watson does *not* use speech recognition. Search this on Google and you'll find out.

To simulate real emotions we must first completely understand our own.
