Сліпобачення - це не справжня сліпота. Щось у твоєму мозку досі бачить і чує навіть якщо ти сам не лягаєш це розумом. Поки щось не змусить тебе усвідомити, чи поки не зʼявиться загроза

This guy's intimacy issues are downright exhausting, like gimme a break. Siri is a slut for game theory and how *everything* is a strategy, including in relationships. Poor Chelsea, damn. This does illustrate very well why it's hard to be with straight men who cannot be emotionally present in the moment but have to let this irrational thing they call 'reason' or 'logic' to hijack everything.

Scary Chinese room

Of course this character would see sex as *checks notes* hand to hand combat 🥲🥲🫩🫩😬😬🫠🫠🙄🙄

Indeeeeed, pattern matching doesn't equal comprehension, wink wink!

I hate when evolutionary biology bullshit (*cough* Dawkins shit *cough*) still exists in the future. Siri is an oblivious dick. I really like Chelsea, his ex, hope she is out there living her best life.

I will be honest: I love scifi with all my heart, but I do actually partly blame it for how people create and interpret 'AI' stuff these days. Take for instance this narrator saying how smart AI is and how our minds were 'built for fucking and fighting on some prehistoric grassland'. Bitch, spare me your Hobbesian bullshit, thank you very much. Extremely reductive of human being-ness.
