l'm Larry Benson. You supplied
my division with some microchips.
:50:04
Yes. Larry Benson.
:50:07
The X1000. Worked out better
than you dreamed, didn't they?
:50:13
Actually, there was a little problem.
:50:16
Then it's with your software.
:50:18
l don't think there's a problem
with the software, Ralph.
:50:22
You don't?
:50:25
The X1000 is a masterpiece.
:50:29
lmagine a microchip...
:50:31
...sophisticated enough to control
the guidance systems of ballistic missiles.
:50:35
lmagine it can be used to instantly upgrade
any system it's plugged into.
:50:39
Like a smart drug for machines.
Then, imagine it can learn.
:50:45
What are you talking about?
Artificial intelligence?
:50:48
No. Actual intelligence.
:50:50
No wonder those philistines
at the Pentagon didn't appreciate it.
:50:53
One flaw and they scrap the whole project.
:50:56
So there is a flaw in the chips.
:51:01
They're a little bit sensitive to EMP.
:51:03
EMP? Electromagnetic pulse?
:51:06
The kind generated
by the detonation of a nuclear device.
:51:10
l doubt even the toy industry has become
quite that competitive.
:51:14
They said, ''Adequate shielding
wasn't cost effective.''
:51:19
Did the Medici ever tell Michelangelo:
:51:21
''Sorry, Mike, marble's not cost-effective.
Here's a bag of cement''? l think not!
:51:27
Gesundheit.
:51:29
Thank you.
:51:30
There shouldn't be any problem,
just because the chips can learn.
:51:33
Am l not being clear? They learn within
the boundaries of their programming.
:51:38
Whatever the core programming,
the X1000 enhances it.
:51:43
So, if you have a problem,
it's in your software.
:51:50
