Went to the campus screening of Ghost in the Machine today, many familiar names; I did not know going in that hometown hero Shazeda had so many lines (are they called lines in a documentary?). I can recommend it, especially for a more gen-ed / undergrad audience; the director seems supportive of educational use and reuse and it is structured in a dozen or so bite sized chapters. Haven't seen the AI apocalypse optimist one to compare against, would probably rather spend my money on Mario tbh. But also it made me realize it's not a "California" ideology anymore, she never calls it that, like it's gone so mainstream and so widespread, you can't even get through the sneer club bingo list in a 2 hour movie. Gates, Musk, Andreesen, Zuck, Altman, no Peter Theil !? As a statistician, Galton, Pearson (Karl only), Spearman, no Fisher !? Non-zero overlap with the lore dump episode of Lain *and* the Epstein files, though: ::: spoiler spoiler Douglas Ruskoff, but, sadly, not the dolphin guy :::
