Will that guy on Jeopardy ever lose?

Yet another feather in the crown of AI.

Trying to remember the James Blish story about that in all the anthologies.

I did remember it correctly, just checked, “Common Time.”

Nope, it’s a different one, with art in the title, “A Work of Art,” maybe.

Hehheh, Queens of The Stone Age uploaded Julia's new contestant interview as a Facebook Reel yesterday.

that's cool! I saw her talking about her mosh pit incident which was a nice change of pace from the boring shit usually discussed (lol who tf moshes to QOTSA but i digress)

Mayim is out

She wasn’t a great fit, sad to say

she was an awkward host who never seemed comfortable running the actual game. i won't miss her. but she refused to cross the picket line last season and i'll always respect her for that. (and i'll always be suspicious of ken for not doing the same.)

I found out about this via a Jim Jarmusch post on Instagram (which he appears to have deleted). Claimed she was the best Jeopardy host of all time.

Real head scratcher, that.

Jeopardy!'s official Facebook account posted a response (which they even formatted like one of their answer screens) that explained Bialik is only out as a syndicated host, reasoning that they wanted more consistency or continuity next season, and said they hope she will be back as a prime-time special host. (Also I guess they consider the exclamation point in their show's name to be mandatory, leading to some awkward looking punctuation in their response.)

Possible Jarmusch deleted that post simply because he found out she wasn't actually out of the show altogether.

FWIW, here's the Facebook post.

Plain vanilla Jeopardy finally returns tomorrow.
