Came here to say this. Turns out real life WOPR is nothing like a movie.

That explains social media nowadays, the only way to not lose is not to play, it’s a rigged game.

The 1983 movie WarGames. This is the computer’s conclusion after simulating every possible outcome of Global Thermonuclear War.

It’s a fun classic.

They did a sequel, too. It wasn’t as good, but points out the 6 degrees of separation in connection with terrorism instead of MAD.

I don’t know if we’re doing spoilers for 40+ year old movies, but

Isn’t this really its conclusion after being told to play tic tac toe against itself? Then it learned from that and applied it to its global thermonuclear war simulations.

To be honest, I recognized the screenshot and know the summary of the movie but I haven’t actually seen it.

I think you should rewatch it sometime. it plays all the games in it’s catalogue, it’s not just applying tic-tac-toe to chess. skilled players of tic-tac-toe can force a stalemate, the only stalemate in nuclear war is mutually assured destruction.
