From the latter half of the video it seems Watson will only buzz in if the probability of a correct answer is very high (green). If they set the cut-off lower, say 60%, it would have buzzed in much more often.

By the title of the video, I assumed that "destroy" meant the humans would have 0 points... It would have been much more intimidating if they had a "Cyberdyne Systems Model 101" standing between the 2 humans instead of a screensaver.


KILL KILL KILL!

Weird that Al Gore is pimping this awful charter shit. It is wingnuts with a money grab at tax dollars.

What is going on is that contracts are up to manage and run some multimillion dollar LA schools and Green Dot and others are trying to get access to the easy money.


You should google a little.... and now.. the rest of the story... on Locke High...

Green Dot has been described as challenged and trouble operating the school.

It requires a second or even a third look at Locke High School to discern the changes this fall, one year after it was taken over by charter operator Green Dot Public Schools.

...

The charter operator takes 6% of the student funding for central office expenses.

...

And because Locke's truancy rates are about 10 percentage points lower than they were under L.A. Unified, the school gets more per-pupil funding, which is tied to average daily attendance. The school's history is one in which the population of each class fell off sharply each year because of dropouts and community transiency, but already Green Dot is retaining more students.
