Man, machine and free will

I saw the 2014-remake of Robocop the other day and it looks pretty good. Too bad it “flopped.” But screw that, I think it’s worth a decent chance.

Game Over

Game Over: Kasparov And The Machine

Garry Kasparov is considered “the greatest chess player who has ever lived. In 1997 he played a chess match against IBM’s computer Deep Blue. Kasparov lost the match. This film shows the match and the events surrounding it from Kasparov’s perspective. It delves into the psychological aspects of the game, paranoia surrounding it and suspicions that have arisen around IBM’s true tactics. It consists of interviews with Kasparov, his manager, chess experts, and members of the IBM Deep Blue team, as well as original footage of the match itself.” (Rf)
