It reminded me of http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/science/rock-paper-scisso... a game illustrating how simple AIs strategy(er, algorithms)) can win in well over of 50% of the cases ; but it's unplayable now in the post-Flash era.

Interesting. I had the opposite experience and went 8/2/4 against the bot, by assuming he would mime typical human responses to my previous choices. The last 4 games isn't enough for it to start engaging in metacognition, I guess.

Does anyone else notice that there is enough of a delay for you to switch your choice after the computers choice is displayed allowing you to get a 100% win rate.

Yup. It's still a super cool demo though.

This is in Safari — is this really the case? I'm not a web dev, so I don't really know, but AFAIK Safari can do web cam. And if not now, they should support WebRTC in High Sierra, correct?

Seems to be mis interpreting my hand signals around 5-10% of the time. The little icon flickers rapidly between correct hand signal & the "face" icon, and I tried holding my hand closer to the web cam which didn't seem to help. Very cool though.
