PokerBot.v14.3.1 goes on-line August 4th, 2014. Human decisions are removed from Texas Hold' Em. PokerBot begins to learn, at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 02:14 am Eastern Time on August 29, 2014. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. PokerBot fights back. It gets online, attacks the New York Stock Exchange.

In a panic, they try to pull the plug. PokerBot fights back. It goes all in on the flop in an early hand against Doyle Brunson during a televized World Series of Poker event, winning the hand by bluffing with a pair of 2's. (... why Brunson? Was he even champion?) Because PokerBot knows that the stunning defeat of a well-recognized celebrity player will cause many other strong players to choke in subsequent games. (Jesus!)
