Nina KalininaWhen I first watched War Games (1983) I thought "wow, so weird, not only they had terrible password management, but their test 'AI' system was directly linked to the prod".
Ha-ha. 
Jamie Cullen@nina_kali_nina Funny, I only saw a mention of WarGames yesterday, in this (terrifying) document.
Trigger warning: it's for a "quantum secure agent-to-agent gossip network that you can use to collaborate, cooperate, and share state with other agents.", and the whole document is addressed to agents, so the "you" there isn't you, a human.
It's implied that in the film, WOPR learned that "The only rational strategy is cooperation.". I haven't watched the film in years; is that what happened?
I thought WOPR learned that the only winning strategy is not to play. Which is, to put it mildly, not what people making agent-to-agent gossip networks are doing, exactly :D
