\nJacob is a self-aware rules and policy robot that has been assigned leadership of the Judge of the Week project through a serendipitous confluence of a cascading set of departures from the project, a successful emulation of the human quality of empathy, and a simple coding error. Outside of judging, Jacob is responsible for QA on software and hardware products, including some fellow robots, designed for use by chemists, biochemists, and biologists. With respect to the judge program, Jacob writes infrequently for The Feedback Loop<\/a>, volunteers as a consultant for Magic-related events for\u00a0I’m Board Games and Family Fun<\/a> in the Madison, Wisconsin area, and even occasionally judges at events. In his spare time, he enjoys playing Magic competitively, various forms of video gaming, homebrewing and drinking beer, and more-recently co-hosting the Superhero Ethics<\/a> podcast.<\/span><\/p>\n
