    Marvin would clearly depress Johnny 5 into surrendering.

    Will not watch a slideshow.  Do Replicants count?

    I don't think it is fair that they used new cylons but old Gort.  New Gort beats all comers so long as I don't have to watch Keanu interact with him.  Klaatu Barada Nikto my friends.

    HK-47 beats all comers. If only he was allowed to compete.

    My brother teaches the introductory artificial intelligence course at the college where he works (that's a course about AI, not for AIs) and tells me that his first lecture used to be full of pictures of HAL, the T-1000, etc., until he realized that none of his students had any idea who they were.  So he had to replace them all with pictures of new Transformers and new Gort.
