The_Badger Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Human nature, sadly. (I had seen the videos previously.) However, it did direct me to another video courtesy of Peter Hollands. Now this is serious :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 The fairly recent cheating scandals have been dissected and analyzed in every direction possible on the Bridgewinners site. https://bridgewinners.com/article/series/2015-cheating-scandal/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masse24 Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Yes. Cheating everywhere. I even heard about a recent case of cheating in bicycling. The Tour de France no less. I believe the cheater's name was Lance something. Shocking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he was found to have taken anabolic steroids which are banned under International Cycling rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordontd Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I presume you are referring to Lance Armstrong. Yes he was found to have taken anabolic steroids which are banned under International Cycling rulesThe point that was being made was that you were referring to old news as though it were current.

pescetom Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 that is amazing. i thought i had noticed the bots revoking a couple of times. but to change the whole hand . unbelievable. There was quite a fuss about it at the time, but I missed the conclusion if there was one.Can anyone here sum up what BBO had to say?

thepossum Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 There was quite a fuss about it at the time, but I missed the conclusion if there was one.Can anyone here sum up what BBO had to say? Is GIB really a BOT or does BBO have basements full of enslaved human bridge players. I have noticed weird plays (possible revokes) myself but sadly had no way of confirming or checking. Maybe its just flaky code and nothing more serious :) It doesnt really behave like a computer program sometimes. I guess if it were programmed to randomly cheat the program could also cover it up :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the video is a fake, however. We should be told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepossum Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 No need to be so sensitive barman. It was a joke. However I imagine you are familiar with companies that fake AI with humans. Maybe that's what you are referring to. I wasn't attacking GIB, just having a bit of fun :) PS somebody very sensitive who has been the recipient of constant attacks on these forums could misinterpret your post as a personal attack. Just saying to be more careful ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Maybe someone so sensitive to "constant attacks" shouldn't go around kicking sand in peoples faces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 No need to be so sensitive barman. It was a joke.So was my response; I even ended it with a smiley. It was a reference to the question that was asked to the Google CEO during his Congressional grilling last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
