Angry Nerds: IBM’s Watson Finishes Night One Of Jeopardy Challenge Tied For First Place
Did you all just see that? The IBM Jeopardy Challenge kicked off tonight, and Watson, the IBM-developed artificial intelligence absolutely more than held his own against his human competition. Mechanical men!
At the end of day one (it’s a three-day tournament), Watson, along with Brad Rutter, leads with $5,000. Poor Ken Jennings has only $2,000 to his name.
Double Jeopardy beings tomorrow, while Twitter (where I got that “angry nerds” barb) is the place to be during the show.
I can’t even pretend to be impartial—I’m pulling for Watson all the way here, and I, for one, welcome our new artificial intelligence overlords.

I enjoyed every minute of this competition. The odd responses and wagers. Ken's "Simpsons "quote. And I especially like that my two year old now claims that her favorite show is Jeopardy.
