The nerve of robots these days. You go to the trouble of showing
one how to throw a ball through a hoop (sure, you missed a time
or two, but you're human — it's expected) and the cheeky little
bastard goes and improves upon your demonstration until it's
sinking shots like Jordan. Researchers at the Learning
Algorithms and Systems Laboratory at EPFL in Switzerland, have
developed algorithms that robots can use to analyze your half-
assed skyhook. The robot then figures out both what you're
trying to do and what you're doing wrong (besides not being Dr.
J) before perfecting its own technique. No word yet on whether
it has learned the art of trash-talking, but once it does, rest
assured it's gonna kick your ass at that too, sucka.
