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.

Really enjoyed it. Simon Rex was fantastic, Bree Elrod (Lexi) was great too.

I think it's way more than about "her" need to love others. It's about AI evolving to such a magnitude that humanity and all its petty needs and desires don't really matter anymore. Basically how we feel about ants. And that poor ant sure does get his feelings hurt. It's basically a prequel to Terminator or Matrix.
