New (AI-Robotics meat) processing facility planned for western South Dakota

"The facility will focus on bringing in and developing new technologies in robotics and artificial intelligence that will make processing easier, safer and more efficient. With these new technologies, they will be able to produce a more consistent end product." https://www.newscenter1.tv/new-processing-facility-planned-for-western-south-dakota

In the 1967 novel Logan's_Run, people are trapped on an AI run world, which is very efficient at keeping track of its human population and especially their age. Like animals on a farm, the human herd is cut down at the age of 21 by being put to sleep.

The 1976 movie Logan's_Run, provides a lot of additional plot elements and presents quite a different variation from the original story. People are trapped in a domed smart city and are terminated at the age of 30. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan's_Run_(film)#Plot , https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074812

Welcome to the machine and the madman that can cut you a new face, even a new body. Imagine an AI machine that can cut and render up cattle very well.

Welcome to the machine, indeed. Do you have anything to declare?

Avatar: The Way of Water

 https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/05/return-to-pandora-with-the-first-teaser-for-avatar-the-way-of-water

Avatar will be quite a popular movie, but some will just see it as a watered down squeal.

https://deadline.com/2022/05/avatar-2-title-trailer-1235010995

They can go jump in a lake and sink, because this movie will float upon an ocean of popularity.

The Blacklist with a psychedelic Groundhog Day twist

 https://ew.com/tv/recaps/the-blacklist-season-9-episode-19

A very interesting episode of The_Blacklist, indeed. Whether its a drugged induced dream or a digital dream, a person can start to deeply examine various aspects of their reality. So in some ways, this was an episode with a repeating simulation theme. A Groundhog+Day of the mind.

https://ew.com/tv/amir-arison-the-blacklist-interview

Star Trek: Picard - Season 2 Review

 https://www.ign.com/articles/star-trek-picard-season-2-full-review

Some might see Picard Seasons 1,2 & 3 as just more filler.

https://www.engadget.com/star-trek-picard-season-two-episode-10-finale-130019681.html

However, there are a lot of entertaining aspects to this series. If it is just filler, its pretty good stuff.

https://gizmodo.com/star-trek-picard-season-2-episode-10-recap-farewell-bor-1848871733

Of course there will be some changes for S 3.

https://ew.com/tv/patrick-stewart-picard-season-2-wil-wheaton-cameo-season-3-next-generation-reunion/

It seems to be one thing when an actor plays many parts. However, if people in general are here for more than one life experience, that's really full of implications to ponder. VR might reveal many clues about the nature of reality. (TNOR)
