There's an obvious distinction between bribery and extortion.

Really the whole practice of discretionary law enforcement is an appalling one. What we want is an army of impartial, emotionless automata.

Her, Automata, Ex Machina, now this. Lot of A.I. movies out or coming out, interesting trend. Looks like they all have similar themes as well.

Automata bothered me that they had their own "Rules of Robotics", but felt like trimming those back to only 2, leaving even wider loopholes for creative drama, but still following it to the same conclusion.
I liked The Machine a bit better because instead of a fictional portrayal on AI finding a way through it's man-made cage, it was about experimenting with an AI that had no cage and seeing what self-discovery brought it.
Ultimately both those films just devolved into meaningless action in the end. I hope this one doesn't. Otherwise the premise looks almost identical to The Machine, right down to the robots name (Eva/Ava, same phonetics).

Lots of interesting science fiction out the last couple years though. Lots seem to be dealing with our infatuation of deconstructing our physical bodies to explore what's left. Between this film, The Machine, Robocop, The Signal, and I'm sure at least one other I'm leaving out, they all have viscerally imagined portrayals of human figures with as little recognizable human traits as possible.

seems like an extended twilight zone, but I'll watch.

Interested to know what peeps here think of 'Automata' after watching ?

10 hours? Oh boy...

Last time I spent that amount of time on Chomsky's work, it was in the form of "Automata Theory, Languages, and Computation". Good times.

yo dawg, I heard you like cellular automata

That was cool!

Sorry for the delay in responding but the only kinetic things I have made was a balancing piece (sort of like a weather vane) and magnetic jewelry. Actually my very first rings had magnets, foam and/or felt in them (each "bubble" had a magnet)

See what you think of this one about juggling machines. One is an old fashioned automata (it really cheats using wires rather than juggling), and the other does bounce juggling.

Have you made, or considered making, kinetic sculpture?

Wow, those are really impressive! thank you!

Thank you very much. Beats a lump of coal handily.

Back in the early days of emergent behavior and cellular automata (Gödel, Escher, Bach) there was talk of applying these ideas to npcs in role playing games - apply a few very simple rules to a few very simple personality traits to produce rich unpredictable interactions that ebb and flow across the game world.

No one seems to be working on this any more.
