Seriously, who the hell teaches an AI that death means the end of commerce, rather than the end of communication? Is this just an isolated example or is this what we've become?
Seems like some shrewd publicity for X2 to me. Get people arguing about genetic differences, and poof! a movie comes out about people that are genetically different from other humans. The subject is on your mind, you say, "hey, that movie might straighten this out for me", and you pay a ridiculous sum to go see it.
Do we really want to be measly serfs (in the majority) to the monstrous corporations (in the minority)? No. You're such a downer. Now I have to get back to work so that I can make enough money to buy a Playstation 3 the second they come out.

Fucking is only allowed if done with the goal of producing more workers to prolong our glorious capitalism. John Ashcroft said so.
So you're saying you'd like to be the 6 of 7 of 9?

Nice way to get respect for Linux, you dipshits.

Everyone wants their job to be called "art" because that implies there's a higher purpose to it than making some rich motherfucker richer.
