I am speechless... What appals me the most though is the applause and cheers at the end, even one person -- that I could see -- standing up while clapping. As far as I could tell this talk was generated by a bot(something like this: http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/) or something and nobody seemed to notice anything wrong. Just a stream of jargon strung together in what seems like english.

Yikes, this is just awful. I keep expecting James Randi to enter stage right and explain this was all some kind of test for the audience.

Another gem from this video, not that there is a shortage of them - at 3:55 - "It makes us into a vortex machine, sucks things in at the top and shoots them out of the bottom"
