Never fails to blow my mind watching when some twentysomething can back to back answer questions on theoretical astrophysics, obscure Hungarian composers of the 17th century, and the migratory habits of Scandinavian weasels.

Like, I can handle them being incredibly smart on their specialist topics, but ALSO being on-point about a bunch of other completely unrelated stuff is just taking the piss. 🤯

For this week's Week, I ask if artificial intelligence can win a game show yet.

If we're to believe the hype, AI bots can solve an Only Connect wall easily. The evidence proves otherwise.

AI bots are a dab hand at University Challenge, but have great difficulty with Countdown.

Next week, I'll set on loose on Wheel of Fortune. It'll probably spin the wheel the wrong way.

Scraped to 14, my threshold for an acceptable week. A long way down from last week.

Incredible game. Two very strong teams. I'm very happy with getting 21 right.

Got the first 4 questions correct. I think I'll just stop there and claim a 100% record

@miramarco @lapis

in case anyone is looking for somewhere else to watch the episodes on YouTube, there is a new channel @CosmicPumpkin who has uploaded last night's, along with the last few years of episodes (I didn't check how far they've gone back, but at least 2 years)
