Do you know if Linux was chosen so the Watson team would not have to pay
licensing fees to the AS/400 division? ;-) (03)
Minsky did not sound bitter to me. (04)
Disappointed that the news media has bestowed the AI crown on a system
with no more understanding of Jeopardy than an orrery has of
astrophysics, but not bitter. (05)
Disappointment is understandable when a lifetime of work is made into a
carnival sideshow type event. Jeopardy no more measures intelligence
than a standard IQ test. Both measure being good at the skills required
by each one. Nothing more, nothing less. (06)
Hope you are having a great weekend! (07)
