This is my *UPDATED* rig. (I took out my broken fan just for you Juggernaut)

Are you tired of those sissy "friendship" poems that always sound good,
But never actually come close to reality?

Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship.
You will see no cutesy little smiley faces on this poem-
Just the stone cold truth of our great friendship.

1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against
The sorry bastard who made you sad.

2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

3. When you smile -- I will know you are plotting something that I must be involved in.

4. When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I get.

5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much Worse it could be until you quit whining.

6. When you are confused -- I will use little words.

7. When you are sick -- Stay the hell away from me until you are well
Again. I don't want whatever you have.

8. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.

9. This is my oath.... I pledge it to the end. "Why?" you may ask;
"because you are my friend".

Friendship is like pissing your pants,
everyone can see it,
But only you can feel the true warmth.

Man vs Robot...In Poker

Can a computer beat man at poker? It can at least stay competitive. Polaris, a poker-playing AI, went up against two pro players this week and ultimately lost.

Phil "The Unabomber" Laak and Ali Eslami played identical games against Polaris separately to remove randomization. They each played two 500 hand games of Limit Texas Hold'em over two days. On the first day, Polaris posted a win and a draw, but lost both games on the second day.


The creators are extremely happy with the performance as they've shown that a computer can be competitive against pro players. Poker was thought to be a game that computers could not play well against humans because of the amount of the level of bluffing and reading of human behavior.

One of the creators said, "We had no idea where the technology stood. We're not better [than humans]. There's not enough data to suggest that," but, "It's clear that we're competitive."

Just another step toward the Robot Uprising.

I hope that when some sort of Super AI is created it enjoys human foibles such as gambling/drinking/smoking/HAWT ROBOT SEX. They will be less likely to enslave us that way.
