Hey, Person of Interest is on CBS, that does a good job of dramatizing the AI Eschaton. And the protagonists are working against the corrupt powers that be, to boot.
I fully expect that Manuel (Man) Davis to be a hard nosed, chisel-jawed, Lunar cop working closely with his partner, Mycroft Holmes (probably a robot) to defeat a crime syndicate.
Make it a series on Netflix and I'm all on that. We haven't had a decent sci fi comedy on TV since Quark.
Don't forget that was one of the real arguments for the revolution. Trade with Earth was bleeding them of water and would eventually lead to the colony's collapse.
They could probably have been self-sufficient if they hadn't been forced to send grain to Earth. But being a bunch of transportees and convicts, they didn't get a say in the matter.
Good luck explaining the finer points of a closed-cycle ecology, economics and politics in a 2-hour movie.
Conventional LASERs can't hit anything over the horizon, tactically they're useless. The Navy isn't stupid, therefore they've obviously secretly learned how to bend a multi-megawatt LASER beam. Maybe they've developed mirror-carrier drones.

So much for websites crying about AdBlock stealing food from their children's mouths.
Now AdBlock prevents shitbirds like this from benefiting from attempting to steal food from webmaster's children. Which makes it more better, right?
I would welcome AdBlock having some sort of micropayment sponsor system baked in where I could choose to support sites whose content I value. Twenty years of the web, and still nobody's figured how to make that shit work. Is Ted Nelson even still alive?

Be sure to complain about trend ridiculous spy movie plots failing to be as ridiculous as our current reality. Demand a full refund, and damages inflicted due to boredom.
Granted, controlled artificial volcanic eruptions are neater than the Illuminati spraying beryllium nanoparticles from 747s 24x7.
But if you don't have a orbital sunshade swarm at L1 and blackout Tuesdays, you're just not a power worth worrying about.
Easy, just have a review board, at least half of which are knowledgeable in the field which the patent is applicable to. Oh wait, we can't afford to pay for the shoddy system we currently have.
Just imagine what this will do for the manufacture of railroad tracks. This revolutionary breakthrough will truly lead to a 21st century of peace and prosperity for all.
Also, I'd be more impressed if they were growing nano-scale Damascus steel blades with Buckytube inclusions.

Since my raving loon superstition is just as valid as your scienmatific theoretory.
Don't forget to vote November 9th!

Captain Flint buried them in the Templar^H pirate vault on Oak Island. Long John Silver's looking in the wrong damn hemisphere.
"Steamboat Willy" was a shitty cartoon anyway.
Yeah, constantly being accused of a Satanistic suicide cult had no negative impact on D&D.
Just make some glasses with some cryptic incantation on them, and all the sudden, WE'RE ALL FREE AGAIN!

HAN SHOT FIRST ....errr, I mean.... whether Deckard is a replicant is left AMBIGUOUS!

tinfoil is a homeopathic treatment and therefore is disallowed.
Isn't that the case with pretty much every consumer-level laptop on the market today?
The HP business laptops do not ship with crapware.
Wherethehell is IKANREAD when we need him?!

HOLY SHAZBOT!!
Why'd you have to go and bring that up?! At least we'll always have Big Bertha.
Damn, and here I was going to have some delivered to the Whitehouse.
Shouldn't he be typing that into Wolfram Alpha?
Hey! Watch where you're going! You almost hit us!
It seems like we have many smart people warning us about the dangers of AI. What's your opinion on the prospects?
