Part of it (and I was briefly at IBM after the Watson craze so I heard some complaining) was also that they'd rebranded a lot of other things as Watson to try to cash in on it.
- smashed 3y agoIBM tried to sell the company I worked at Watson Weather or something, following their acquisition of The Weather Network I believe. Everything was Watson something. It was such evident bullshit. They convinced executives to do a pilot. It was a shit-show. Quick and dirty API endpoints running on bluemix and spewing 500 internal errors at every gust of wind. Nothing remotely intelligent.
- eropple 3y agoI was pretty glad I didn't have to deal with Bluemix. Instead I was told we'd be using AWS, had that change after I started, waited four months for a vSphere setup to be rolled out for me, and quit two weeks later.
