I'm officially scared now




The robots are coming! The robots are coming!

See http://www.pokernews.com/news/2008/07/man-machine-II-poker-championship-polaris-defeats-stoxpoker-team.htm.

That pretty much does it for mankind, the way I see it. If we can't even beat the computers at poker, we might as well just hand the keys to the planet over to them right now, and go cower in the corner in anticipation of our inevitable enslavement.

Actually, how do we know we haven't been playing against computers all along when playing online?

I would be afraid but I think that "... Best players in the world" and team Stoxpoker are far from synonymous. Last time they played against Laak and Esfandieri (I think) both of whom I would believe can kick team Stoxpoker's ass ;-)
