Movie Review: I Am Mother (2019)
A suspenseful drama, and a great look into technology and AI. A realistic and detailed portrayal of automation. Great special effects. Very human. I liked the robot. It's a challenge to produce a realistic mechanical character that is neither too human nor too robotic. I think this one is just right, and the programmed movements looked how I would expect them to look. I watched some other movie with a "robot" there and immediately thought, no that's a human, you can see it breathing and twitching its cute little muscle tissue. So the robot in I Am Mother looks robotic enough.

Maintaining a Kakistocracy
From the corbett report.
One of the reasons for the intimate association of the power elite with child abuse is that they might use it to maintain their, somewhat hidden, ‘kakistocracy’: government by the worst and most evil people: a highly capable brand of psychopaths if you like.

Game engines are excellent 3d environments, pleasant to look at, and so forth. Are you renting that environment to show it to other people, did you get it for free? Even if you paid to own a copy of your favorite song, you can't stream that song for free (or for profit) to millions (or dosens) of other people. Why can you stream a game, even the one you paid for, without giving daddy a cut?
And again, my rationale mostly centers on how excellent some game engines are, how marvelous it is to look at them. So charging streamers for displaying it to an audience seems reasonable, especially if reasonably priced.

Yes. Basically, humans are just meat bags. Human flesh is part of the carbon cycle. There is no intellectual existence to talk about, there are only industrial processes of growth and decay. That is where, conceptually, this politics is headed to.
P.S.: just wait for this to turn from optional to required.
