I found a fully-functioning AI machine which plays Tic-Tac-Toe against the player. Considering that you can't actually program in LBP, this feat is impressive; it is a machine which has mechanical AND and OR ports made of pistons and proximity detectors, a physically moving Program Counter, and hundreds of wires. The level is called 'Tic Tac Toe' and is by author Cristel."
Another player created a similarly amazing level that is a recreation of John Conway's Game of Life.

Look up at the top of the page and read the smaller words just to the right of the site name. "News for nerds"
You might be a gamer, and after looking at your comment history I note that you're even a tech. But if you don't see the appeal in making things like this, then you aren't a nerd.

...wait until the level gets taken down by Sony with no explanation!
Why the hell would they do that?
Let me guess, because you think they're evil right?

And LBP is the only way that the Hypervisor (the babysitter OS in the PS3) will let you access the full 3D capabilities of the system for homebrew development!
(Of course, Sony owns anything you make...)
I just made a baby. Glad I don't have to support him.

It seems the irony of using an amazingly powerful digital computer to emulate a simple mechanical computer is completely lost on you ...

YO DAWG, we heard you like computers so we put a Turing engine in your Turing engine so you can compute while you compute.
