  1. I think they chose the wrong director for that. They should have chosen Werner Herzog.

    the trailer sets him up a bit as a charismatic group leader to the stars, instead of the intellectual humanitarian he is. still, i'll be the first one in line for this flick.

    herzog would be inspired by ray. he just needs to go to one of his lectures:)

  4. The whole idea of creating an entire species of consious machines to (hopefully) co-exist with us is our number one existential risk. I am going to look more into this and read his book because I am quite interested in his theories.

    Another great post George.
