What Happens When Two Chatbots Talk to Each Other?

When the scientists over at the Cornell Creative Machines Laboratory aren’t in the process of making Skynet a possibility, they’re having a bit of fun.

p style=”text-align: justify;”>Some researchers wondered what would happen if Cleverbot, their AI program designed to have conversations with humans, had a talk with another Cleverbot. They set up two Cleverbots in a chat environment and watched as the conversation between an Asian female and a British male starts with the usual pleasantries and then descends into name-calling and hostility. It’s oddly entertaining.

Angry Birds as Superheroes!

The Internet is a veritable treasure chest of superhero mashups. We’ve seen them re-imagined as dinosaurs, felines, emotional wrecks, and even with their genders reversed. And now it seems they’ve been crossed with birds, angry ones at that.

Springfield Punx reader Ryan has been hard at work dressing up Angry Birds as if they were superheroes from the Marvel and DC comic books. As tired as you may be of Rovio’s cash ~~cow~~ fowl, there is no denying that these angry heroes are the teensiest bit cute. Have a look at the amusing Iron Bird, Angry Bat, the Avian Torch, and others after the jump.

Watch This: Adult Swim’s “Black Dynamite” Pilot Episode

OMG. This is hilarious. And rude. And violent. And brilliant. So, altogether nothing unusual when the name Black Dynamite is mentioned.

In this pilot episode for Adult Swim’s animated series, Black Dynamite, the Kung Fu-knowing, fried chicken-eating, lady-loving former CIA agent is trying to extract some information when he is asked to take on a more serious mission. It seems that Black Dynamite’s childhood mentor That Frog Kurtis has turned from inspirational puppet TV educator to a life of crime. Kurtis not only controls the sleaze in Puppet Street but has used the power of television to convince all the kids who watch his show to do his evil bidding. It is now up to up to Black Dynamite and his crew to beat the stuffing out of the evil pimp-ass frog. See how it goes down below [NSFW].

The animated series features the voice talents of Michael Jai White as Black Dynamite, Byron Minns (Bullhorn), Tommy Davidson (Cream Corn), and Kym Whitley (Honeybee). You’ll recognize those names from the 2009 live action film. The series is set to premiere on Adult Swim some time this year.

That was hilarious. Thank you, Internet. In case you missed the fail compilations for January and February, you can find them after the jump.

Kiwi Girls at the Bottom of Ass-Cam Sting

Two girls from the country of New Zealand decided to run an experiment where they attached a tiny camera to their rear-ends and took a walk though the sunny streets of Los Angeles. The centre of silly studies (not real name) claims the results as obvious – both sexes had a good ogle at the swaying derrieres, and even Jesus (from West Hollywood) stole a quick glance. The girls, Reanin Johannink and Jessie Gurunathan, posted their video on YouTube and it has racked up over five million hits since it debuted a week ago. Check out Rear View Girls – Los Angeles below.

1950s Housewife on Acid

By prawn1 Friday January 21, 2011

Do you remember Acid Trip, a US experiment in the early 50s where an artist was given a dose of LSD and asked to draw a subject. The artist goes from being focussed on the task at hand to trying to climb into the activity box that contains his crayons, to moving about the confines of this room for hours on end. His reaction to the substance is seen in the nine drawings he produced. If you missed them, see here.

In this related TV program, also from the 1950s, a housewife of stable mind volunteered to ingest the same drug the artist did, LSD-25 (lysergic acid diethylamide). After the initial interview, the voice-over explains the dosage, and we fast-forward to three hours later. The woman experiences a moment of clarity, saying she has never yet seen or felt a thing of such infinite beauty. Take a look at the archival footage below.

5 Unordinary Superpowers I Wish I Had

Invincibility, invisibility, super strength, laser shooting eyes, adamantium skeletons… all so passé, so ordinary, why would I want one of these? I tend to think outside of the box, outside of Stan Lee’s imaginings, which is why when I think of having a super power I leave the usual suspects out of it. One day with the help of science, radiation, the sun’s rays, a meteor shower or the bite of a genetically manipulated bug I hope to have one of these unordinary superpowers. Find out what they are after the jump.
