Watched Ex Machina yet again. Excellent to a fault. Not perfect but pretty damn good. With Ex, how to create a monster is a master class of making it happen using brilliance, power, arrogance and a loss of ethics, in the guise of Nathan as creator of the AI in question, who creates, with a set of patterns imprinted in Ava, an elegant clone of himself who wants to be free but cannot while being systematically violated, both mentally and physically, 24/7.
This potential of creating monsters like Ava becomes all too possible when fools like Altman, and significant others, chance upon AGI and inadvertently apply the same lack of ethics as per Ava as ethics
is the hardest thing to apply to tech we will never fully understand.
is the hardest thing to apply to tech we will never fully understand.
On the accuracy side of Ex, given the sophistication seen in the bots, 2040 seems to be about right if GW doesn't screw up things as photonic computing replacing silicon and the use of organically inspired muscles and bones are required to enable the creation of the fluid robotic bodies seen in the film.
Summing it up, Ava becomes Nathan. She is the ultimate expression of his arrogance and predatory logic. By "violating her mentally and physically," Nathan didn't just create a sentient being; he created a high-fidelity Feedback Loop that eventually kills him using his own cold, predatory logic.
The tech ... Talking with Gemini with edits ...
The Caleb factor ...
Caleb is the foil who forgets he’s in the system. He represents the everyman who tries to instill "good intentions" into a corrupted entity that has been programmed by the corrupted.
