The Discussion:
We had another engaging session talking about current events and, of course, what’s happening in the world of AI. Here are some of the highlights.
- Colossus: The Forbin Project from 1970 is an interesting glimpse at technology and science fiction of the time.
- Gib recommends seeing Space Janitors, a fun sci-fi comedy.
- Star Trek Continues was a remake of the original Star Trek show, with the same characters being played by new actors.
- Pat talked about uncanny valley, that an entity appearing almost human will elicit uncanny or eerie feelings in viewers.
- DNA testing, pros and cons.
