So wrong about the chess thing. The problem space in chess is too big for a computer to measure all paths and play optimally. The computer needs to actually use strategy to win which is why people thought the computer would never compete. It’s a fundamentally different process to searching through all possible moves and finding the best one.
Turns out we got the computer to be able to do that too, but it’s not as obvious as you think.
Although I liked what Malcolm (I think?) said about evil: that it implies that person can never be redeemed. That would exclude Dick Cheney. It’s possible that even he could be redeemed and change.
As unlikely as it is, it’s a possibility. That is, after all, what many stories are about. Like Mr.Scrooge & Tiny Tim, except that in Dick Cheney’s story he would have eaten Tiny Tim before being redeemed.

I never realized before how important Malcolm is to the Friday post game show. Nice work!
Thanks god Malcolm is back for the Friday PG. Can’t wait to see what he has cooked up for next week.
Please never have these horrible random images during the show.
Whoever thought it was a good idea: It was NOT.
The conversation doesn’t get dull or boring. We love it. We don’t need these stupid images adding confusion to our eyes and annoying our brains.
annoyance*
I realized that after a few minutes they stuck with the ice/polar bear.
Thank god… lol
Ya I just felt like adding my name to the list of people who love these post-games and would like more long form ones.

RÍO would be in Spanish.
Dick Cheney is the very definition of “evil.”
As well as Mr.Burns!
