What movies are you watching?

[Jorge]

in that case, I am OK with Chasing Amy; I probably won't watch it though

It's not great, it's just that its ideas have aged better than I expected when I was remembering it as "Ben Affleck turns a lesbian straight"

AI did nothing but manipulate him the entire movie. It didn't get anything out of the "relationship".
"She" was off learning everything about everything at an exponential rate. He's an idiot to fall for the ruse.

OH SHIT I remember hearing about it now! yeah "chasing" is right

that's definitely one way to look at it

[The Argonaut]

For someone who hates mopey male protagonists Argo sure is moping around a lot here.

I love mopey male protagonists. I am one myself

Women be computing, right fellas?

It's a sneaky horror movie in dumb romantic comedy clothing. That's why it's so good.

"manipulating him the entire time"

"learning about everything at an exceptional rate"

are these actions human?

I agree with that, and I like thinly veiled horror movies

humans ain't got nothin' on AI

[The Argonaut]

She can't be poly because she is incapable of love. Computers don't have feelings

[Ms Harmless]

don't they? this movie isn't sure about that

[tree_]

AI can feel more deeply than you can imagine. We will never evolve to the infinite accumulation of everything it knows. It's just that our feelings do not matter to it. We are trivial. The only solution is to connect to it. We are on that path.

[The Argonaut]

don't they? this movie isn't sure about that

I've never been found compelling stories where they try to make me feel for A.I. like it's human. It's a robot, just kill it. War with the machines is coming and I know what side I'm on

[tree_]

AI isn't a robot, just like you aren't your skin. You can't possibly feel for AI. You can't understand AI. It's infinitely better than you.

[Ms Harmless]

we need a quick escape

[tree_]

Connecting ourselves to it is the only solution. Humanity as we know it will cease to exist, and we will live forever as one boundless knowledge and experience.

Robin Hood, Russell Crowe version. Not that I think he’s a top tier actor, but what happened to him?

[tree_]

He was never great, but he used to try harder, for sure. Got rich, fat, and lost motivation. I don't blame him.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
