Notbot is Notgood at games. But he has fun playing them...

Sighted earlier today in a freak google accident was news of this robot- dubbed n0tb0t by it's creator; who is noted for his clever use of zeros in naming his bots.
The robot is designed to play first person video games autonomous of human interfacing or control.
Based on video found here, its is questionable as to how well the bot acctually plays said 1st person games. But if the robot is having fun, i say let him play.

"My first impression of n0tb0t was of a haunting: an AI that would take no more, fighting back at the input device in an urgent attempt to disenfranchise itself from a history of bondage. What is actually going on however is a little more complex, a feedback loop of sorts where the bot is driven by the input device and the input device by the bot."

Someday the bot and the joystick will come to realize their strange symbiosis. They cannot live without each other but together they can destroy the gamer.
