Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
@TheMovieMermaid high key it would have been a better thematic choice—she’s a workaholic who’s married to her jobs! a consistent character trait commented upon in both movies!
@VK_HM It’s semi-possible to do an Amadeus about a recent figure—but you have to go the Velvet Goldmine route, which will always have way more limited mass-market appeal than traditional biopics that use the names and the music.
Amadeus is great and textbook you could not make that about any artist of a recent era - when you need their consent or their estate’s for their music, and the plot has an absolutely libellous and essentially untrue portrait of a real contemporary in Salieri. Great film though
that palantir statement is a straight down the middle nazi manifesto. the only thing interesting about it is it isn't quite talking like Sephiroth but rather has clearly been influenced by fanfiction writers who were themselves trying to talk like Sephiroth.
I guess I'll have to blog about this tomorrow, but "LOL, Trump TACO'ed out" is decidedly not the right reaction as compared to "that kind of brinkmanship is really fucking dangerous".
