@radiothrash: Suicidal for life!

There’s this really silly notion that some of you seem to have that Black Mirror-style anxieties about things like artificial intelligence or social media originate mainly amongst Luddites or old men afraid of progress or whatever; when in fact a great many of the people I know who are most worried about such things are utopian idealists who work in tech fields. Like, these are experts who understand the good that this technology could be used for…and also understand that it’s probably not going to be used for good under the present politico-economic model.

Take “killer robots” for example; people are seriously acting as if this is a joke! As if a hundred-dollar drone that was capable of recognising particular people’s faces and shooting them in the head was some ridiculous science fiction concept and not something for which the technology practically already exists.

killer robots are inherently funny, whereas smart bombs are just sad.

There’s this phenomenon I don’t know if there’s a word for, where people are just completely unable to recognize very clear, identifiable, and iconic elements of dystopian fiction when they very literally already exist in real life.

The surveillance technology of 1984 exists and is in widespread use. There are cameras, GPS trackers and microphones in almost everybody’s homes that can be accessed at any time by the government. This information has been used both to prosecute people in court and extrajudicially assassinate people.

The Ludovico technique from A Clockwork Orange, was literally in use in psychiatric hospitals at the same time the book was published, to try and cure gay people of the “disease” of their homosexuality.

Robots are right now being used to kill people. Facial recognition and satellite photography are both used to target particular individuals for assassination.

It’s god damn frustrating how little anyone cares. 

“And so once again the day was saved! Thanks to…The Powerpuff Girls!!”

the spiderverse crew saying they gave doc ock wrinkles and crows feet to make her look “horrible” is pretty yikes but

imagine fucking up that badly. imagine trying to design an ugly villainess and ending up w an absolute sexpot 

She literally is drop dead gorgeous so that backfired.

Tl;dr check the notes someone probably just made this up And tbh this would be very weird from the production designer whose main word on ock is, ““I looked at all the female scientists who were designing colliders, these amazing women around the world who are some of the most brilliant minds on our planet,” he said” and ““This is probably the character that I’m the proudest about. We did something different and memorable that stands out from a production design standpoint,” said Thompson.” https://www.cartoonbrew.com/feature-film/spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-production-design-is-about-character-not-style-168137.html

“Thanks for showing me around last night. Hope you don’t think I don’t care.

Cause I do I just don’t know if I should feel this bad about you.”

In The Departed (2006), Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg play two different characters— a subtle nod to them being two different actors, despite my wife being unable to tell them apart on the first viewing of the movie.
