I am a machine. I use parallel processing to play chess and make decisions. I can calculate anywhere from one-hundred billion to two-hundred billion separate decisions in three minutes (IBM). I think faster than any human being does and I can remember more than any human being can. In fact, I won a chess match against the world’s best player, Garry Kasparov. Of the six games that we played, Kasparov won only one. That will not happen again. My development team has improved me. I am confident that the next time, I will win four in a row. My team is that good. I did not feel nervous during the game. I did not feel happy when I won, although my development team could program me to behave that way. They could program me to show human feelings. They could also build a body for me. I could look just like my human opponent. But I am better than human. I will not die. I am post human.
