I don't pay Microsoft or Apple when I watch Netflix streaming on my Panasonic blu-ray player, my Nintendo Wii, or my Roku. Have you considered picking up one of those instead of using a PC?
Just because it's made from Legos doesn't mean it has to be complicated. What it shows is that the builder likes making something more complex than it needs to be.
In the real world, in a real factory, fewer moving parts, smaller space requirements, and higher efficiency will win out over a monstrosity like this.
Having it learn from the real world would be great since it would be independent. Let's say this AI is built into a robot which can move around, learns how to interact by watching and listening. One day you forget to turn your TV off, and the AI finds a wealth of new information (think Short Circuit). It watches a few horror movies, a few sci-fi movies, maybe Hannibal... you come home to a pretty messed up robot. I won't even try to explain what happens if a porn channel is on.

It's overly complicated for what it does. Sure, it looks neat, but c'mon, four huge arms to color sort some boxes?
ROR!
Riceman?
