Guest guest Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Next week, February 14 to February 16 the game show Jeopardy will have two of the very best players going head to head against a computer named . This represents a remarkable achievement in that the computer can even understand the question let alone act on it. I figure it can go three ways. The computer will not win and that will be the end of it. The computer will win and finally be able to offer humanity real insight and information in ways and means beyond our current ability. Or, computers will become self aware and kill us all. It will be interested. By the way, I had to look up how to spell Jeopardy so I could write this which means I'm probably not going to audition for the show. The should host a show for people like me who have the same IQ as their shoe size. Stan Seattle, every time it rains there seems to a a lot of clouds.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I had heard about the new computer, but I didn't know that it would be participating in Jeopardy. Thanks for telling us. Now I hope I remember to check it out.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 : This popular game implements strategy until the opponent's power authority is trapped and checkmate is announced. : What is the Roman Empire?

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 But my mind is far from a computer! I don't suppose the new computer will ever age, like humans. By the time we get old, we know so much and so much information is stored up there that we have trouble retrieving it. I know too much. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it!

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 That's true, some have suggested that people actually store every single experience we have but we just can access it. In my case it's even worse. I just discovered there's more stuff on the Internet than just this Group and porn! It's amazing. Stan Re: [ ] OT: Jeopardy But my mind is far from a computer!
