Ex Machina

Ex Machina is a thoughtful and sensitive look into the world of synthetic humans and artificial intelligence (AI).

I noticed on Twitter recently that Artificial Sex Dolls are paving the way for this technology from an aesthetic/kinetic point of view and no doubt a superior chat bot AI is being developed to accompany this.

I have no doubt that the integration of humans with machines will become increasingly visible in my life time but I self identify as a primate so I'm happy to be a monkey wearing cotton underpants as Terence McKenna once memorably described us.

Not my usual choice of movie but the idea of living through cloned borgs makes a lot of sense when we see how many live vicariously in the worlds of Corporate Mass Media, HollyWeird, Celebrities, Video Games and so forth. Also the vanity aspect of it is intellectually robust as nobody lives the vicarious life of a homeless person or a battery chicken. Which is ironic because that's what low consciousness living is in many respects. Battery Chicken living.

AI Telemarketing jumps the Turing Test barrier. 

I like it. 

Maybe people will start waking up to the technology they aren't telling us about.

Google breakaway civilisation on that one.

Drones & Google Maps Over American Cities?

A little state of emergency action over Texas is all it needs to change the back drop to an American city. Pop in your iPhone or Google maps coordinates and people will stop tweeting criticism of their government. Oh wait a minute. The fluoridation took care of that anyway. All quiet on the Western front.
