Archive Movie (2020)

I think this is the best “Artificial Intelligence” Sci-Fi movie I have ever seen so far. This blends into the AI so real and close to true human intelligence that not only do you see every real human emotion, such as fear, pain, and happiness, love and compassion. You also see the AI become fully self aware of one self. At first the story isn’t making much sense as to the origins of the plot and you are showered with Sci-Fi Futuristic imagery in your face. They place you in a space ship style bunker deep in the Japan mountains. All the way to high tech doors and gadgetry throughout the film. The time is around 2046 or some around there so the attention to detail is beautifully illustrated with a blend of robotics and high tech jargon. At first you are seeing the lead character spend countless hours and days into research and tech poking all through each scene but soon you see he is preparing to literally duplicate his dead wife from a fatal car accident that left her dead with only her backed up hard drive of her brain subconsciousness archive. Being in the future, they lightly graze across some legal aspects of being able to backup and store human subconsciousness but it’s clear that he has hers and intends to drop it right into the realist robot man has ever created. Yet it also seems this might be illegal to either his job or to authority of some kind. You start to notice he has made several attempts to build prototypes before the latest final one. Each of the robots he dumped AI in each one but since it was trial runs it went in phases of upgrades. Meaning Robot 1 has the brain ceiling of a 5 year old max and can’t develop higher. Then the next has the brain function of an 8 year old. Next and last is the one that can fully execute decision making while also feel love and compassion, guilt and reward. You see that these prototypes are not suppose to his wife at all and just trial runs of basic AI skills. So he sort of treats them as family at first as if he knows they a real robot minds and he explains to them all that they are family. This comes off a bit weird at first but just trust in the build up that there is a reason he is pretending they are like little family robots he can talk to. Once he continues through finalization you get brief flashbacks of before his wife was killed. Brief moments of who she was and why he was so deeply madly in love with her. Also how deeply she loved him back. You start to get drifted in the love story of the whole thing and rooting for him to recreate the love his life that he lost so tragically from a car accident that he was even riding in the car next to her in. As the movie shifts through advancements in the final robot phase that will become his wife again, you start to get this impression that not only is he a incredibly smart dude but he is also working for the government on top secret robotics experiments. There are several scenes of the lead character getting in hot water by seemingly higher up officials government types who only want him to focus on certain aspects of his duties. They make references to big companies funding his AI work shop and how he better act in compliance or they will pull his funding plug and take legal action on him. This makes him scramble to get his wife in order as fast as he can before authorities take her away. He is so close to making a true AI with the luck of saving her memory so he knows its a race against the clock. Soon you see another plot twist that he is able to have brief and short video action with his actual wife through the backed up memory archives he so fortunately had saved through the car accident. Also each robot of previous design starts to get jealous of each other. You even watch one robot commit suicide which was actually super sad. He took parts off an older more obsolete model and was working on a better model so it got sad and older version decided to walk deep into the water to kill itself. Then the late model one finally is fully operational, to the point of walking and talking and appearing near human. feeling a sense of touch and sleeping, having dreams. Able to eat as a simulator and actually taste things. The skin feels real and the robot has real actual memories of them together. They start to do things together, dance around the house and go on runs. You see the robot wife act like it’s actually human and start to have feelings for the maker. You even think to yourself when is the robot sex scene going to happen. However the twist on that is even better. The final draft robot even slips into bed with him one night. You think this is it, this is it, robot sex pound town. She gets in bed with him and the scene starts to take too long to start the cool sexual stuff which gives you the impression something is wrong…oh shit…yep you start to think what if he freaks the fuck out and isn’t quite ready to have a robot sex scene with his wife. Or her trying to get fucked by human dick. Just when you realize that thought is a possibility he wakes up and jumps straight the fuck out of skin in fear and sticks to the ceiling with fright. She freaks out too and runs away and computer style crashes while remembering all of the car crash memories and what happened to her through it. When she awakes the authorities finally had enough of him and decide he breached contracts of his research facility and should be arrested. They swarm his Japanese futuristic bunker with mega tech aircraft’s like he was the worlds most wanted. Last minutes the robot wife discovers that she is actually NOT the final robot as he seemed to indicate and the very last finishing touch is to actually override her robot subconscious he built from scratch & replace with his wife’s actual real deal subconsciousness that was actually authentic. Once robot hottie figures this out she goes ape shit and almost tries to shoot the main character with a futuristic gun that apparently was given to him but some higher up agent that semi liked him. She points it at him to ultimatum either let his wives real subconscious die OR make a new relationship with the prototype version of AI robot. The final prototype is in complete sadness as it now makes sense why he wouldn’t get freaky with her in the bed because she was not only NOT his real wife. She was also a real robotic intelligence he built and not the real captured archive of his wife that will soon replace her. So she finally submits out of sadness and fear yet love for her creator. She decides to drop the weapon and give in to have her data completely erased with his wife’s actual archived mind and do an override. The final revised last phase you see being built inside the state of the art robot lab with mechanically made bones, organs and features. When they show the way the robot is built and constructed in his top secret spy lab you will be tripped out. In fact you should eat an edible before you watch it and really drift into a hi-tech wonderland (cheech & Chong Voice). The best part is the ending, when this fucker ends you are going to have your whole mind scrambled into pix-elated dust. You will have your own brain hard drive cooked into burnt hair smell. The ending is such a mind fuck that you will question the entire movies plot. Everything you thought you knew about the character into a distant mind blender of imaginative thoughts. Check this one out for a look at how the future might have funeral services and with a chance to talk to our loved ones for a very short time…after they actually die.

Technology & Singularity Thought of the Day 5/18/2020

Singularity defined as; ” The technological singularity—also, simply, the singularity—is a hypothetical point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization “. We all know how mathematics are can be a formula with an absolute one answer in which we respect. Science involves plenty of math and physics. Yet we as humans under estimate just how rapid it can control our lives but when it (as in the machines) becomes “self aware” in it’s own existence, that’s when we will be exterminated. First, before I go all conspiracy robot geek on you, chill out a sec, kick back, and let me walk you thru to this robot death first. So back in the day before social media etc all of the phones and vehicles were just discovering basic connection to the limited worldwide web /Internet. Well, that was all going to change through the mid to early 2000’s. Soon the phones and digital devices had access to search engines like the all powerful and knowing “Google” to find anything you need. Soon you could download apps in which every purchase was a click a way directly from my personal bank account. Verification’s became easier because we have facial recognition and thumb print on devices. Now when you talk to your digital devices the bitch Siri or Alexa talks back. If that isn’t enough, these cars park themselves and robots are delivering packages for you. Just when you think you have noticed neon signs and futuristic cars you don’t stop to notice how much money is going into Robotics. These robots have 3 Million dollar arms with 10 Million dollar chassis. We haven;t even got into the time to assemble these things. Trust me, those scientists ain’t doing it for volunteer work leaving the labs in bucket cars, no way, they are making good money. Anyway, lately people will act surprised when they say aloud things like; dinner reservations or a trip to Hawaii and then scroll their FB feed and see those recommendations pop up. Yes the phones and computers are listening. Everyone is so paranoid about their laptop cameras so they tape them. Let’s assume that’s all true and that now the robots have eyes, ears and access to our bank accounts, finger prints, facial structure, known relatives, passwords, GPS location and last but most importantly, in some way, access to Bluetooth or the Internet. So, how this works is, imagine our smartest human brain thinks at a rate of 100mph compared to the dummies brain @40mph. It takes this smart cat to think of something really technical or brilliant possibly 10-15 years after they pass their teenage stage which then puts total time to brilliance averaging `15-20 years the average minimum of that smart person to display all of his/her knowledge to the world. Then there is 1000s to Millions of those smart people putting all of their great ideas into the internet so the entire population can then build off those findings to create new revelations to document of their own. Literally everything our entire human race has done can be found on the internet. We rely on the Internet in some type of way in our lives no matter the age. Self-Learning computers are getting smarter and we no longer need to do anything except have a phone and sit at home on our assess these days. Behind the scenes small doses off Artificial Intelligence as well as Military weapons being combined with those technological advancements are being married together, in the midst. So that being said, we are like two cunt hairs away from having Robots do the following: Drive our cars, deliver our packages, decide what we want to eat or order from Amazon and lastly track all of our decisions to understand our psychology to our brains. True Artificial intelligence is far far from it’s infant stages in 2020. If you haven’t noticed the futuristic ass world we live in then get on your YoutTube app in your fancy Iphone 70 and go wide screen with a new wave selfie stick. So back on the freeway people…If the entire wealth of the human race can be a click away to any internet or WIFI connection, AND…we currently have military grade weapons, robots, tanks, guns and robotic manufacturing companies…AND the government as well as the nerdy scientists are already testing true AI /Artificial Intelligence that is very close to basic human decision making. They can just plug in and connect to the internet to get the basics to hold a conversation or even complete a carpentry task for you. What people aren’t understanding is, it’s not the level of where we are on robots that is scary. It’s the level of unmanned no human needed basic human decision making is being removed. Technology moves so fast over the years that if you were to go to sleep for 5 years you would wake up years behind in evolution due to technological advancements. Basic things like robots cleaning your house connected to your Bluetooth on your Iphone 98 will be standard soon. So you have to sort of stick with the Tech as it evolved to the point where you finally, finally, finally meet Singularity which is to the point where humans and machines are married into each other and the computers are going to out smart us. Going back to that example of a human learning at a brilliant persons pace of 15-20 years to have any monumental break trough, a true artificial intelligence in a machine could complete in one hour depending on internet connection and battery power. This is not a joke. Then when it does laps on our smartest inventors, builders, military experts and data programmers within minutes, it starts to become self aware of who “it” is and how important “it” is to humanities goal of consuming it. It’s at this point the internet is connected to every single thing we touch on a daily basis connected to every other device some how. Now here is the Sci-Fi jargon I mentioned earlier but just try to keep up. Someone finally starts to play with Artificial Intelligence and gets it’s right, completely right. A machine that can think for itself and make it’s own decisions or even communicate to other machines. Soon the Internet or any entity/device with a connection to the entire Internet will be wired to any machine built. Machines need then take care of the threat which us. They fire missiles at things, stuff blows up, unmanned things go chaotic. Factory’s build what they want to and machines assemble themselves or things how they need to. These decisions are made so effortlessly and quickly that one can’t help but to think they were dealing with the most sophisticated person in mathematical history as the timing to predict exactly what humans would do for every action they made. Not to mention they knew exactly what to use to kill us at any given moment while producing better versions of themselves by making better decisions on their own. Sure it sounds like abundance of sci-fi movies in all the variations you can think of. However in my opinion, I think we are only few stages away from True AI and then Robot’s could fuck some shit up. It could be a slow death and then sweep us up when we are all fat waiting for uber eats robots. Or it could be something vicious and calculated with actual un-manned mechanical construction. When it takes the average human 15-20 years to achieve much smart things to document with about 373 Million people in the US alone all connected to the Internet. One robot could have all that knowledge in seconds with the ability to think for itself it could be fully operational with a 100 human years of evolution of findings in seconds to it’s robot brain passing to other metal brains. So Imagine if that same Internet brain had a chance to think for itself meaning its brain has ZERO ceiling or restrictions and can completely build itself mentally. I mean look how much Stephen Hawking contributed confined to a wheelchair unable to move. Imagine about 100 Million of him’s and Albert Esenstein’s with fire power and with the decision that maybe humans are a little dumber than them..per human. That means within minutes they could go full aggressive on us just as quickly as the window to stop them closes. The smarter they get the smarter they get. Soon duplicating smart computers to other robots is just as easy as making them. Human interaction is less and less needed. We get to a point where robots are trying to determine if they are human or another human is operating one. Next thing you know one seems to malfunction by killing someone. Everyone thinks it’s just an accident until it figures out how to kill thousands into millions of people. Once the human race figures out what kills them it’s too late, we are then down to hundreds of thousands left. So if this movie style apocalyptic movie thing happens how do we get out of it? When you look at how smart the human race is to other species you can’t but help to think what if our wealth of knowledge could be comprised and used for other shit. However all that being said here is the ultimate part that will really burn your noodle. What if these super computers with Artificial intelligence are just so damn smart as a mathematical evil geniuses at an exponential rate,AND that they know to take their sweet time while we humans progress in life. They have all the time in the world to play possum until it’s time to reveal themselves through decades of evolution. Remember that the reason humans have brains is, is to predict the future. That is the fact no matter how you look at it and if that possibility is removed from the choice of humans we start to hop on the railroad towards singularity and becoming as one. We shall see!

What Happened To Monday Movie (2017)

What an interesting Sci-Fi experience. So the plot is about a set of septuplets which consists of 7 identical sisters that were born in a world that outlaws any siblings. The reason for that is in this movie at the year 2043 the population is out of control and the food is diminishing. So in an effort to prevent world hunger and over population they have a rule under the “child allocation bureau” to enforce the one child per family law. In this future you notice small details like cars and various digital billboards and such. Also all of the firearms are digitally coded to specific law enforcement agents. So that means they can only fire when that specific person uses their finger recognition on the weapon. Back to the story, so these 7 sisters have one name one identity yet in the privacy of their home and under the strict supervision of their grandfather they refer to each other as a name for each day of the week. Being 7 of them they go from Monday to Sunday for their names. Each day of the week the sisters plays out the day as the role of one person and the next sister which is named the next day of the week plays out her day under the same identity. This creates many complications throughout the movie as often times some things are not shared between all of the sisters. They must wait until it’s their day before they can go out in the world and act out their identity. Now you get the plot right in the title which Monday goes missing. Each sister has drastically different personalities and I really think Noomi Rapace does a very excellent job in showing us entirely different characters even despite how much green screen she is acting with. Green screen is used to manipulate duplicate people. Rapace even interviewed saying she would listen to different music as well as wear certain perfumes depending which character she was playing to help her morph into that person. So you don’t get that cheap CGI feeling when you see them all together, they actually look and appear like different people. One of the CAB Agents that they have a run-in with is kind of a bad ass. There is this scene where he hops out of military vehicle to go handle business and sticks his arms out wide while soldiers lower armor fatigues over him which clearly displays his importance. The sisters have different styles and one of them is very tough, always working out and hitting punching bags while others just seem like ordinary women with different personalities. I read Brian Tallerico’s review which he seemed to like the intense fighting scenes which is an under statement, these bitches get down when they need to. To paraphrase Tallerico, basically he felt like there wasn’t enough character development and holes in plots even though his dumb ass should understand they had to build stories of 7 individuals in under 2hrs. Also certain pieces really didn’t need to get explained especially when the story already has so many good twists and turns leading to the climax of it all. Plus many of the aspects are relevant to the world we are living in now. One thing I would have liked is more intense phrases in revenge scenes. For instance when she over powers the doctors and sticks the one doctor with his own needle, she lowers him down and appears out of breath. I think as she was poking him with the needle they should have focused on her face as she declares “How the fuck does that shit feel?!” or maybe she could have said very sternly “Go to sleep” as the body drops to the floor. Instead you are left with too many intense scenes that needed the cult classic lines. However when she has the bathroom scene and goes HAM sandwich on the soldiers, that was done beautifully and you could feel the revenge fill the room. All in all this is a movie very worth watching with that black mirror esq feel to which makes the viewers think.

Upgrade Movie (2018)

How appropriate I post this directly after my recent Terminator Dark Fate post. In the Terminator Series we understood how scary it could be if machines were to take over and become “self aware” of themselves. Meaning become aware of the powers to control everything around electronic through artificial intelligence. The world is advancing into digital unmanned technologies every year currently. Our phones can hear what we say and prompt search engines to look things up for us and soon cars and machines will operate themselves out of convenience to humans. What if they decide to do what they want? The machines that is. Upgrade is a different story that is also awfully relevant to today. In Upgrade the man goes paralyzed after a tragic incident and shows possibly the saddest death scene to someone close to him I have ever seen on film. The reason you can even get through the death scene is because you saw the preview and know he gets his revenge once his body is upgraded by a super human computer chip designed to infiltrate your own body and cells making you function different/better as well having a Siri, Wiki, Tech Guide, science lifeline and anything you want information wise in your own head by just asking. Like a google search engine in your mind. However at what cost will this upgrade be? You feel amazing yet are you really in control once machines fully use their artificial intelligence and how intelligent are these micro chips? Maybe too smart. This movie has a great soundtrack that builds scenes to an intensity that really grasps your attention to the important scenes. Also each character really nails their acting that blends the story together very well. This movie is probably one of the best Sci-Fi films every made in my opinion. This isn’t Alien Sci-Fi but rather a realistic futuristic plot that is highly believable. Your main character lets you be connected with his effort to stay old school by the way he lives his life. The classic cars he enjoys to drive also makes him most authentic but there is also a police detective who understands going old school helps figure out shit in a digital world too. For all my major Sci-Fi heads check this one out.
