    Watson had its chance, but pervasive managerial dysfunction at IBM doomed it. This is IBM's core problem that I tried to work on, but alas politics is rampant internally.

    Disclaimer, 2nd gen IBMer, I devops'd for the office (AlchemyAPI, acquired) that formed the foundation of the platform (pre-ChatGPT, around the Jeopardy moment), and from what I saw the outcome is not the least bit surprising. Left mid-'18

    The television is very powerful for propoganda, it can display stock tickers, or you can relax with an episode of Jeopardy.

      Like Skype lost to Zoom, will Siri lose to Watson by moving too early? Will DeepSeek beat Watson due to IBM's [insert MSM talking point here]? Is it even going to appear as a contender anymore or is Alladin waiting to get the Intel gov't buy-in, too?
