This is a philosophical question I did not have time to answer. When I understood what had happened, however, I was reassured. In fact, I was able to exploit the traditional shortcomings of computers throughout the rest of the match. At one point, for example, I changed slightly the order of a well-known opening sequence. Because it was unable to compare this new position meaningfully with similar ones in its database, it had to start calculating away and was unable to find a good plan. A human would have simply wondered, "What's Garry up to?," judged the change...
...experience shows that while students can attempt to reduce safety risks, the University must also make this campus safer. Harvard's streets and pathways need to be lit brightly at night. Currently, the campus is riddled with poorly lit areas, and criminals can exploit this situation and lurk undetected in the shadows.

Even before the shoot-down, Castro said, he was incensed about a homegrown dissident group that was hoping to exploit the new openness of Cuba's economy as a way to reform its political system. Since the beginning of February, his security forces have rounded up or harassed some 150 dissidents. His anger was exacerbated by Brothers to the Rescue, which was founded in 1991 with the intention of helping...
...Caucasus will have been settled. Otherwise Dagestan [the neighboring Muslim republic east of Chechnya] could be next to explode. Second, Russia wouldn't have to send trillions of rubles here, since once the conflict is settled, we don't intend to ask Russia for any money. We can jointly exploit the riches of this land, including income from [energy] transports through this key geographical area...
