Hmmm. Huge crowds of synthetic, artificially sentient individuals, all generally the same with slight individual variations. Sounds like Democrat Underground.

I saw a similar version of this story a few weeks ago; I forget the source. It might have been via a Slashdot link. Anyway, it was pretty funny, in an early version of the software, Regelous and Peter Jackson watched the Massive program start a battle scene, and some of the fighters on one side appear to decide to desert and run away. Pretty darn funny; apparently "rational" behavior from very simple AI programs.

I'd heard about and seen about this for months. Yet with both viewings of the movie, I basically forgot even to look for it in the battle scenes. They are so essentially unflawed that you don't think, "Wow, is that well-done!", you think, "Wow, how can the good guys survive
that?!?:
