"the machine starts to think it is somebody"
fellow krc summer denizen will crothers, currently rowing for the u of washington, caught on film what ergs get up to when left alone. i now can't see an erg without hearing in my head bobby darin singing "beyond the sea".
rowing friends: you know you always had a sneaking suspicion ... (and don't worry, no ergs were hurt in the making of this film)
non-rowing friends: i will simply quote buddy hackett, who played tennessee steinmetz in the original herbie movie, the love bug:
"It's happening right under our noses and we can't see it. We take machines and we stuff 'em with information until they're smarter than we are. Take a car. Most guys spread more love and time and money on their car in a week than they do on their wife and kids in a year. Pretty soon, you know what? The machine starts to think it is somebody."
