I know the answer, but I think it’d be fun to send, so: Could The Machine from Person of Interest kill macbeth?
I would like to note that regardless of clauses, they do not have a body, so physically doing so would be a bit tricky(if not impossible).
Kinda the same question, and thus added as a bonus here, but for a character who likely would kill Macbeth: Could Samaritan from Person of Interest kill Macbeth?
Yes, both The Machine (left) and Samaritan (right) from Person of Interest could kill Macbeth!
They are both artificial intelligences created by men (Harold Finch/Nathan Ingram for Machine; Arthur Claypool for Samaritan), meaning they both apply for the Unconventional Birth Clause and Birth Parent Clause!
As for the Gender Clause, The Machine definitely applies, as she is referred to with she/her pronouns, and it is implied that she chose that for herself. Samaritan, however, noticeably has a male voice, even though it seems to be referred to with it/its pronouns. The Machine was also referred to with it/its pronouns, though this changed over time as other characters came to respect her identity more. With this, it's not completely clear whether or not we should count Samaritan as a man, though for our purposes, I'll be saying Samaritan does count until further notice on account of its pronouns.
Thank you for your submission!

Luca Giordano (Italian, 1634-1705)
Le Bon Samaritain, ca.1650
Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen
“Do to others as you would have them do to you.” Luke 6:31
One of Jesus’s most well-known parable appears only in the Gospel of Luke but is very much a part of His message throughout His ministry. It is the Parable of the Good Samaritan.
“A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan while traveling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.’ Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?” He said, “The one who showed him mercy.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Go and do likewise’“ (Luke 10:30-37).

I’ve found a serious mistake in The Chosen (a series about the life of Jesus, which is, apart from that one mistake, really well made and well researched, and creative, and engaging and wholesome, and you should DEFINITELY give it a try even if you’re not in the Bible fandom.)
So, at the end of S02E01, Jesus is in a synagogue, reading from the Torah. There is one shot when we can take a peek over His shoulder:
And would you guess, it really does look like a real Torah scroll and Jesus is even using a yad pointer, well done, crew. BUT! This episode takes place in Sychar, a Samaritan city! It is a Samaritan synagogue and a Samaritan scroll of Torah! Samaritans used a different writing system and their scroll should’ve looked like the one on the right, not the one on the left!
Given the importance of the Samaritan Pentateuch to biblical studies, I’m surprised that the producers made such a blunder. But yeah, let the fact that this is the most serious mistake I’ve spotted in the entire show tell you something about how good it is. I might write a recommendation elegy some other time

Virtual Character Tourney - Bracket 1 - Round 10
Propaganda below (May contain spoilers!)
ART propaganda:
ART (Asshole Research Transport, nicknamed by Murderbot), formally known as the space ship The Perihelion (in italics but this is a Google Form), also known as Peri (nicknamed by it's human family) is a super illegal highly advanced AI that was created by a university. It grew up with two human dads and a human sister. It and its crew go on research trips that are cover for allying with people and communities at the edges (and beyond) of the capitalist hellscape that is the Corporate Rim. It also goes on espionage missions by itself, without its human crew and family, posing as an automated cargo ship. It was during one of these missions that it picked up Murderbot, a super-duper illegal bot-human security unit construct that had hacked the torture device implanted in all bot-human constructs so that it could disobey orders and walk away from its "owners" without dying. Murderbot uses its illegal freedom to watch television, a habit it passes on to ART. Turns out ART doesn't like shows where human crew members get hurt.
ART is the AI that controls/is the research and teaching vessel Perihelion. (Perihelion is usually what people call it, but the protagonist of the series calls it ART so that's the name I put. ART stands for Asshole Research Transport.) It is extremely intelligent and advanced and also extremely sarcastic and condescending. 100% earned the name ART.
ART will do absolutely anything for its crew!! It was developed and "raised" alongside the captain's daughter, Iris, and they're like siblings. Its crew calls it Peri. They do corporate espionage on the side to help bring down said corporations. It has a "debris deflection system" which is definitely not a weapon because ART isn't legally allowed to have a weapon. Definitely just for debris, don't worry about it.
It's friends with the aforementioned protagonist, Murderbot, and ART is very good at bullying it into actually leaving its comfort zone when it needs to. They care about each other a lot, and they like to binge watch TV shows together.
I don't want to write too much but I just love it a lot.

Just for five minutes?

JOKE-OGRAPHY:
1. In this Bible story, Jesus and friends are heading to Jerusalem. They try to stay in a Samaritan village, but the Samaritans won't take them in. The brothers, James and John, ask Jesus if He wants them to call down fire from Heaven to wipe out a town that disrespected Him. He does not. Some people think this is why Jesus starts calling them the "Sons of Thunder".
2. In the second panel, John tells Jesus, "Only say the word and our souls shall have that power," which is a play on the part of Mass where we say, "Only say the word and our souls shall be healed."

Been watching some wrestling lately. We’ve also been thinking about when Samaritan asked Azbat if he ever considered professional wrestling as a career path, and we haven’t stopped thinking about JPV just sweaty and bloody with his skin showing, yeah
