Computers are Never Good Guys in the Future

The EA Sports simulation of Super Bowl XLVI on Madden 12 predicts a 27-24 Giants win.

It looks bad for the virtual Patriots.  The Madden simulation is 6-2 in its last 8 Super Bowl which everyone knows is better than Tom Brady’s record in his last 8 playoff games.

Can we really trust these computers, though?

The HAL 9000 killed Dr. Frank Poole and (apparently) slipped acid into Dr. Dave Bowman’s coffee.  Skynet created a cyborg army to kill they entire human race.  Nomad was bent on the destruction of planets across the known universe.  Colossus had a “sinister agenda of its own.”  The Matrix turned us all into AA batteries.

And after all of that, I’m supposed to trust Madden 12?

  1. Wake me when it's over. Really, I'll leave instruction and a syringe pinned to my comatose lifeless body propped up in the rocking chair in the living room.
