This is why AI, machine learning, algorithms, self-driving vehicles, et al scare me. When it comes down to it, extremely overconfident, shortsighted, sloppy humans write the code.
Just like Google's scheme to railroad everyone into Google+ if they wanted to rate anything in the Play Store or comment on a YouTube video (there may have been other stuff too). That didn't go over too well, but unfortunately it took forever (and the exposure of data on people who didn't even want to be there in the first place) for Google to admit it.
The ONLY thing this guy is lucky at is that he hasn't been disbarred yet, despite how hard he keeps trying.
I keep finding myself wondering why it hasn't happened yet as I read this, but then I quickly realize it's quite entertaining and that may be why the judge just keeps teasing him along by giving him more ways to hang himself.
