Getting books from the library is about to get a whole lot e-sier.

Can we just talk about Netflix for a second, and how friggin' convenient it is? Currently, previous seasons of 'The Walking Dead,' 'Breaking Bad,' 'Mad Men' and 'LOST' are all available for free on Instant, along with some awesome movies like 'Iron Man 2' and 'Thor.'

The folks at Cornell Creative Machines Lab wanted to see what happened if two chatbots, which had been programmed to carry on coherent conversations with people, were instead introduced to each other. The results are pretty funny and more awkward than any human-on-human first date we can imagine. Check out the banter, which quickly takes an odd philosophical turn, below.
