Watson

    Although I had a feeling Watson's victory was inevitable, count me as a person who was upset that humanity got drubbed by a computer in Jeopardy. It wasn't even close. As someone who is still amazed by Ipods, you can only imagine how awestruck I am of our (our meaning humans) ability to create something much smarter than us, when it comes to knowing facts. Is it me, or does it seem like T2 and I-Robot don't seem that far off anymore? That may be hyperbolic, but I am curious about what happens when we do create self-aware machines. According to an NPR story they are currently being developed. Interesting.
