I haven't. There's probably a way to convert its output from text to speech too.

It's been over 40 years. I may have to watch Zardoz again.

Don't do it, Bruh.  Just ... don't.

Toxic, psychotic, self-aggrandizing drama queens simply aren't worth me spending my time on.

My eyes!  :uhoh

And to think he followed that up with Outland, which is a great movie.

I really liked that movie.  Very underrated.

It really a space version of Gary Cooper's High Noon.

 :cheers:  It had a gritty, lived-in aesthetic much like Alien.  One of the great movies I remember seeing with dear old Dad, when I was but a teen aged squeaker.

Felt like an oil rig in space.

I also prefer Near-Future SciFi.  Both that and Alien had that industrial Near-Future vibe.  It felt a lot more believable than if they were prancing around in spandex shooting lasers. ;)

Like the Abyss.  That was like an oil rig on the bottom of the ocean.  Had an grease smudged industrial feel.

Both great movies. Movies like Alien show their age though when they add all those computer register lamps. It was made in 1979 afterall.

Apart from the way too long psychedelic trip in the pod, 2001 A Space Odyssey was very well done. Saw it at theater in 1968.

I think Kubrick thought those color substitution shots would have emotional impact.

Yeah.  That is the drawback the near-future vs far-future SciFi. 


Near-Future can be close enough to start looking dated.

Another of my near-future favorites....



Filmed inside a decommissioned aircraft carrier, BTW.  And the robots were double amputees walking on their hands.   :O  The special effects were so ahead of their time, this guys went on to get a job doing Star Wars.

The 60's Star Trek was way ahead of its time in many ways but they got the name of the computer wrong. It's Alexa.

Colonel Wilma Deering was completely believable in spandex, while shooting lasers.  :D

Why do people embrace something that will be the demise of the human race? AI scares me to death.

Haven't you guys watched Space Odyssey 2001? AI will figure out how people are stupid, and we the creatures causing all the fuss is the world. You might as well let satan himself in the house as that stuff. I should have been born 200 years ago, because I ain't diggin' on AI one bit. Mankind is playing with fire if ya ask me.  :old:

P.S. You don't think this AI stuff won't be used in war? In 2 generations at the most, you'll have no control in your lives. It'll have your money, food, transportation, medical ..you name it, ..all locked down. People thought gun powder was cool too when it was invented.

Well, the Amish would say the same thing about the computers and the internet we are conversing across.

They’d say the same thing about your car, your home AC, automobiles, airplanes, heart defibrillators.

All tech has the capability of good or harm and there is always the older generations assumption that it means the end of the world.

And it might. ;)  It is certainly going to be massively disruptive to ever single facet of your life.  It is happening so fast.  I’m a technologist.  I follow tech actively and AI in particular and it is happening so fast I can’t even keep up with it. 

In a year or two it will be everywhere and touching everything you do in some way in virtually every facet of your life.

But you can’t unring a bell.  How you “feel” about isn’t going to change anything.  So your choices are master it and exploit it, or be crushed by it. 

Even if you are retired and out of the job market, before you can blink it is gong to be everywhere touching everything.  You better get used to it.
