Ken Jennings is pissed. Understandably so! IBM poured millions into building Watson — a machine! — to beat him.
Most of the time Ken Jennings isn’t the 99 per cent. He’s preternaturally good at quiz shows and he’s a genius, and despite the claims of his photo, he’s probably rich. But Jennings is the 99 per cent when it comes to IBM’s uncanny supercomputer–he loses to Watson just like everyone else. [Ken Jennings via Clive Thompson]

Seems that he thinks he’s been victimised by IBM. Ha!
It’s highly unlikely that such a massive company would want to put just one man out of a job.
