So you think going
Analog->Digital ->Analog->Mechanical->Plastic->Mechanical->Analog->Amplifier->Speaker
is simpler than going Analog->Digital ->Amplifier->Speaker??
There's a lot of lingering over the special effects and the tech, which didn't really add anything to the movie.
What you don't understand is that those effects, which look so hokey to us now, were mind-boggling 50 years ago. Nobody had ever seen anything like that before.
It's like seeing "The Matrix" now. Bullet-time looks so ordinary now, but seeing it in a theater for the first time in 1999 was breath-taking.
It wasn't obvious that the monolith *caused* the monkeys to become smart, it wasn't obvious what the connection with the moon monolith was, and it was completely non-obvious what was going on with a psychedelic light show cutting back-and-forth to a human iris
I can't speak for you, but all that was 100% obvious to me.
That's nothing. I once said out load "I have to take a crap". Then I did. Then I saw an ad for toilet paper on Walmart.com. No way that could have been a coincidence.
And how exactly would it do that when it only controls e.g. a factory and can access a market for raw materials?
If it's connected to the internet, then eventually it will figure out how to hack (and disable) rival systems. And we will probably never know that it has.
In actual reality, the closer we look, the more mysterious consciousness and intelligence become. They seen to actually not be physically possible.
Every time this issue comes up, you make this same claim with nothing to back it up.
This superstitious nonsense you pedal is much closer to religion than what you call "physicality", that being what the rest of the world calls "science" since
all science is based on physical evidence.

That only applies to cars who wear boots.

Plus it's not uncommon for two people to look alike
No problem!
Just arrest and torture both of them. Just to be safe.
Mr. President, we cannot allow an AI gap!
By this I assume you mean have the car operate as a sort of ride-hailing service for the general public?
No, that is not what he fucking meant.
Moron.
Congress has called upon the wrong Facebook rep.
It's Sheryl Sandberg who they should be talking to.
Note: My phone keeps autocorrecting Zuck to Fuck.
No wonder they call it a "Smart Phone".
Thanks for proving you're a troll.
Thanks for proving you're a Russian agent, comrade.
Normal people are taught that 10^139 is the right way to express this value.
No, they are taught that 10E139 is the right way to express this value.
He's right though.
And which "he" are you referring to?
Can you prove he is wrong?
C) in my country we don't have a 'dating culture'
Maybe you don't.

It doesn't progress the plot, it doesn't reveal anything related to the story, and it doesn't entertain.
I'll bet you saw it on video.
Even in a standard-screen theater, it doesn't come across even remotely the way it did in the original Cinerama.
In Cinerama, you were floating in space and the effect was unforgettable.
That's nothing.

because that person being in the shadows in the middle of the night
As this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRW0q8i3u6E shows, he/she was not in shadow.
Imaginatively this whole "money" and "economy" and "jobs" thing doesn't actually have to exist if we still get stuff we want without it.
But that would rob a lot of powerful people of their power.
Not gonna happen.
What they lack is good governance.
And why would that ever change?

Well how is he not you? He thinks he's you.
No, he thinks he is "me", just as everybody else does.
I actually think it's pretty simple.
Do you know what else is simple? Using

The show Dark Matter
I loved that show.
Damn shame it was cancelled.
Awesome show!
Book is even better.
Both of "you" would believe that they are "you", and they'd both be absolutely correct,
No, they both think they are 'me', but that is of no importance.
Every conscious entity thinks that.
