  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

It's cool they show it failing quite a bit, but I'd be very interested in seeing it on an actual episode.

The NY times gave it a more critical examination.

I for one salute our new trebeck fucking a horse overlords!

First we beat them at their own game, then they became game - Robot historian

The "play against Watson" feature was pretty interesting. Even sifters who don't have patience for an 8 page article might enjoy that.

Yes, he beat me. Though I got 12 correct answers to his 10, he's is better at holding back when he's unsure and avoiding bad guesses. Final score 14:22 Watson

Thanks!

I didn't even notice that feature when I read through the article!

And, by the bye,

37:19, yours truly :-)
