how about some blue hoodies (Made In India, of course) to every member of the winning team, signed by the new and improved IBM CEO to be, Slob Thomas ?

We created a team, and that's all we're doing. We aren't going to do anything else, it's a colossal waste of time.

IBM since 4-1-1993 when the G Man Lou Gerstner came in and intentionally destroyed IBM and it 3 Basic Beliefs held so dearly for decades by Watson Sr and Jr. Respect for the Individual. Excellence in Everything we do. Best customer service in the world. We did that every minute of every hour and we were the best of the best. Since then IBM has been on a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggg decline into IBM = I've Become Mediocre. Not really you fault. You did what the mo--ns upstairs told you to do. PS/2s. OS/2. SNA. Micro Channel. Etc etc etc. No more Open Door pgm. No more Speak Up pgm. Just show up and shut up. People like Rob Thomas now next CEO. Makes me puke. he is just so smarmy and unlikeable. The watsonx nonsense is simply so the IBM execs can do video's and interviews and watch themselves on TV etc bragging about how IBM has over 200,000 AI trained experts on AI...SMH...

Watson X is a waste of time

I’d rather listen to an Alvind Office hours followed by Slob Thomas and Krabanaugh
