That scene from War Games
Greg Granito
The climactic lesson scene from the 1983 film WarGames, in which the computer learns that the only winning move in nuclear war is not to play. It includes the character entering zero players and the famous closing line.
Mostly used as a joking or nostalgic reference in threads about nuclear war, AI and security exploits.
