but he's obviously using an artificial brain

You can't expect an ordinary human to compete against logic circuits. It's unfair, I tell ya. I demand a test! What was that test again from Blade Runner?


I am reminded of the scene in "Player Piano" were Paul tries to play checkers against a machine. A co-worker did something similar. Playing somebody in chess on line, he put the moves into his computer. So his computer beat the guy, unbeknownst to his opponent. I also had a friend who could not beat his computer. He didn't think it could be beaten, so he had me play it over the phone. It wasn't a very sophisticated computer though, so I cleaned its clock.
