Computer vs. Human - Neatorama

Don't gloat. You should never gloat about your successes, because you're very likely to receive some kind of comeuppance. This neural network is smart, alright, but we humans still have some tricks up our sleeves. One of them is the ability to enjoy a good paradox when we see one. This is the latest sarcastic comic from Randall Munroe at xkcd.

Wow! I was NOT prepared to be amazed! That's some wicked footage.

That's crazy. I never realized how it sort of searches for a target and once it finds one...BOOM!

Incredisome! O_o As said, the searching it performs is something I've never seen before. It gives lightning a different character, a bit more evil as it actively locates a target by itself, stretching out, but also a bit mechanical as it uses a premade path once it has located where to go... I got to stop watching this now, I can feel it approaching my back!

What is freakier is that everything on the ground sends out its own seeking leader and it's when a leader from the air meets a leader coming up from the ground that you get a giant electrical discharge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning#Leader_formation
