Ok well maybe 'better conditions' was a loose-fitting term but I think it just about works. Wonder how it sat with certain groups ppl when the episode came out 😂
Thanks for the detail though, does reframe my memory a bit.
Same way we always have - trust. Reputation has always been a thing, there was a brief window where photographic or video evidemce was enough but it didn't last all that long and tbh it's always had its flaws.
I think the idea is that, whilst shorting, you get squeezed. The question is not 'if' but 'when' and if it takes too long and you're $1B deep you can lose your shirt
If my night shamalamalan directed it would be really good for like the first 40% and then everything after a certain point would feel incredibly paint-by-numbers
Siesta is barely a thing in Italy any more unless you're like 70+ and rural lol. But a brioche stuffed with ice-cream is the king of breakfasts what are you on about
I kinda like two kinds of horror film: funny ones (dale and tucker Vs evil, shaun of the dead, cabin in the woods) because they're often some of the funniest comedies; and brooding ones with compelling characters (the skin I live in, Psycho, Alien). Although that second category is highly subjective and probably not really a category at all except inasmuch as it excludes comedies, slashers, and ones with paper thin poorly motivated characters...
You're certainly not wrong! To me, it seems that consciousness is just what it is to be the kind of machines that we are, and also why sentience/consciousness is so impossible for the sort of synthetic 'AI's we have that currently exist. But how could we ever really tell? Hard to know what evidence would ever be convincing either way!
I always thought was 'gobble gobble' pronounced weirdly because they were freaks. Great film. One of us. One of us.
