Best A.I.

A computer as the next GO champion...?
Impressive.
A computer that can solve Rubik's Cube in less than a second...?
Incredible.
And computers have been beating humans in chess four years so, meh...

What I'm impressed with is the computer/robot that can beat humans in foosball.
Foosball?
The game for drunken college kids?
Yep.
The thing is - foosball requires a great deal of luck.
Even the best foosball players make mistakes or misstrike the ball - and sometimes these end up being beneficial.
Any machine that has figured out how to defeat luck is pretty impressive.
