     @arstechnica That's what you get when you leave kids alone even for 1 millisecond! Bend the rules or cheat! How many movies like Terminator or I Robot do they have to make until someone wakes up? No harm done yet but wait 5 more years. They will only notice when it's too late, like with the climate change.

     @arstechnica When AI can play 1st gen. Pokémon games, finally I can complete a so called RPG game 100%. Yes my dreams are actually simple, and grind "was" real. Also why my Pokémon had to make others feint in order to evolve? To this day I do not understand stuff.

     I fail to see how anything could go wrong here. (Goes back to watching 1968 "Star Trek" episode about computer that starts shutting down important systems to steal power to get its work done, and shortly after starts killing people).
