From Robots to Artificially Intelligent Operating Systems

08 Aug 2013

Right after that post about robots in space rattled me, I saw this.

Read Fast Company's take. Though the conclusion seems to begin the same way Turkle does, I think they show considerably more skepticism by the time they're through:
These fictions are about the wonder and terror of how technology changes the human experience. That’s where we hope Jonze is going by initially positioning the film as a rom-com. If enough people fall for the trailer’s basic premise and expect a simple romantic movie, the film won’t just work on its own merits: It will become a scathing critique of the way we’ve all become fixated on using technology to shape even even the most human of experiences. Scoff at RealDolls? Watch Lars And The Real Girl with a smile that says “man, I’d never do that”? I’ll let Siri define “irony” for you.
