Dec 31, 2015

Drew Dull returns to engage Doug and Justin in a riveting discussion about artificial intelligence. Things start with a discussion about Hitchbot, the hitchhiking “robot” that was making it’s way across the world before it was ultimately murdered in Philadelphia. Doug, Justin, and Drew try to decide how to define what a robot truly is. Justin explains what a Flat Stanley is for Doug. Then, Doug, Drew, and Justin consider whether Artificial Intelligence would ever be possible. Things are wrapped up with a throw-down between the comic book Deadpool vs. Deadpool from the movie ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’.
