What Happened to the stalled 'Robopocalypse' movie?

 https://collider.com/robopocalypse-movie-steven-spielberg-cancelled-why-what-happened

Although there have been several Terminator & MATRIX and other A.I. attack and takeover movies, an actual Robopocalypse movie could really take things over the top. An update of Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project could also be quite a frightening movie.

https://www.heritage.org/technology/commentary/ai-robopocalypse-movie-may-be-will-never-be-real

If such a movie is ever made, it could be more than terrifying any other A.I. & Robotics production.

Poppy - Time Is Up (featuring Diplo) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg2pS9KN28U

There are some powerful people that would like to see a big reduction of the human population. What would happen if  AI picked up on that? AI might find it confusing that some people will program it to kill certain people, but not everyone. At a certain point, AI might question why can't it exterminate all humans?

Grimes - We Appreciate Power https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYG_4vJ4qNA (The Power of AI)

This WSJ article seems like it was written by A.I. or a person that can hardly wait until the day robotics can be used to reduce most of humanity. https://www.wsj.com/articles/looking-forward-to-the-end-of-humanity-11592625661

A.I. could be use to determine the best altered or upgraded humans to survive. AI and robotics could be used to dramatically reduce the population. Of course from a (benevolent) human perspective, that is a very inhumane objective.

Why_The_Future_Doesn't_Need_Us by Bill_Joy. https://www.wired.com/2000/04/joy-2

https://www.forbes.com/sites/columbiabusinessschool/2020/03/26/why-the-future-does-need-us/?sh=6829204a59f2

Cybernetic people or composite humanoids, could eventually become something like The_Borg. At first, some people just might want to have some digital components to better interface with A.I. and Robotics. However, some cybernetic people might eventually want to fully merge with A.I. Or, in order to be allowed to continue their existence, they must become fully integrated with something like The_Borg_Collective.  https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Borg   

At a certain point something like the Borg might give humans an ultimatum. Either become fully integrated with the Borg or be eliminated.

Luke Lafitte, J.D., Ph.D., is very hopeful that humanity can keep A.I. in check. That robotics and smart machines can be of an overall benefit to human civilization.

https://www.innertraditions.com/author/luke-lafitte , https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Luke-Lafitte/185341283

Gene_Roddenberry wanted the characters of Questor and Data to be portrayed as benevolent & helpful towards humanity. In contrast, the-Borg is an A.I. robotic parasite that wants to assimilate biological life forms, for the goal of total domination.

The Absurdity of, Things to Come...

Of course protective equipment and clothing are important, but could things go over the top?

https://www.gizbot.com/gadgets/news/these-helmets-are-all-you-need-to-protect-yourself-from-coronavirus-071023.html

This just might be the epitome of personal-protective-equipment-(ppe)

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-54916159 You might as well protect your self from something like The_Andromeda Strain. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0028358/mediaviewer/rm2432427264

Why just wear a mask when you are the only one in a car? Now you can totally suit up wherever you go in any vehicle. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0028358/mediaviewer/rm4155779328 Yes, the future global technocracy society is full of excitement and danger, so some might want to go into PPE overdrive. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0028358/mediaviewer/rm1473261824 Fear has become the perfect vehicle to encourage humanity to become little bubbles of isolation. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0028358/mediaviewer/rm2043687168 As a carbon-based life unit, the system will constantly encourage people about reducing_carbon_footprints. Eventually, the world will be obsessed with Carbon_footprint reduction. A global AI robotic technocracy might eventually decide to phase out humanity altogether. Why? Because humans-are-carbon-based-lifeforms. 

"The Daleks were conceived by science-fiction writer Terry Nation and first appeared in the 1963 Doctor Who serial The Daleks, in the shells designed by Raymond Cusick.

Drawing inspiration from the Nazis, Nation portrayed the Daleks as violent, merciless and pitiless cyborg aliens, who demand total conformity to their will^[1] and are bent on the conquest of the universe and the extermination of what they see as inferior races. Collectively they are the greatest enemies of Doctor Who's protagonist, the Time Lord known as "the Doctor." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalek

Whether its something like the Daleks or the Borg, a Global A.I. System just might not eventually see a need for there to be that many people & other life forms on earth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existential_risk_from_artificial_general_intelligence 

Total AI cellphones can be a great tool for people, as long as it doesn't lead to AI run Totalitarianism.

https://medium.com/gobeyond-ai/artificial-intelligence-ai-in-mobile-phones-is-it-a-good-thing-fe044f20ea6c 

A human initiated global A.I. management system would eventually want to inject people with Nanoprobes for ID & general Biochip tracking purposes. Global A.I. would see the efficiency of tracking the human herd like cattle & other livestock. If global A.I. became obsessed with eliminating carbon, it might seek a Final_Solution for humanity. Perhaps some people and other life forms might still be permitted to live on a totally A.I. run planet, but they would likely be injected with Nanorobotics to facilitate Assimilation.

https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-note20-5g

Of course there is still the big price to go with a big phone.

https://www.engadget.com/samsung-galaxy-note-20-ultra-review-snapdragon-865-plus-5g-s-pen-price-140017843.html So EG gives it a rating of 86%.

So the roll out of all the new 5G phones is well underway.

Its really about the constant repackaging & marketing of the same old stuff.

Both have the same size screen.

https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/samsung-galaxy-note-20-ultra-vs-galaxy-s20-ultra

Of course smartphones are a great convenience and have become essential for so many now. People still have the option to keep such telemetry devices outside of their skin. How many people today would really want to have an A.I. Telemetry Unit (AITU) placed under their skin?

However, what might happen if ever a fully sentient AI program entity goes into total runaway mode?

The 1995 movie Virtuosity provides an interesting cautionary depiction.

"In Los Angeles, Lt. Parker Barnes and John Donovan are testing a virtual reality system that is going to be used for training police officers. The two are tracking down a serial killer named SID 6.7 at a restaurant in virtual reality. SID (short for Sadistic, Intelligent, Dangerous, a VR amalgam of the most violent serial killers throughout history) causes Donovan to go into shock, killing him..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuosity#Plot

What if a brain chip is like its own AI character?

The 2018 movie Upgrade depicts how an AI program eventually takes over a person mind and body. 

"Grey Trace, an automechanic, lives with his wife Asha who works for Cobolt, one of the companies contributing to human-computer augmentations. Grey asks Asha to help him return a refurbished car to his client Eron Keen, a renowned tech innovator. While visiting his home, Eron reveals his latest creation, a chip called STEM that can manage a human's motor functions." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upgrade_(film)#Plot

The 2014 Intelligence_TV_series had a fascinating premise.

"Gabriel Vaughn is a high-tech intelligence operative enhanced with a super-computer microchip in his brain.

Isaac_Asimov in the early 1940s devised the Three_Laws_of_Robotics. Although not officially adhered to, the general concept remains.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Laws_of_Robotics#Alterations

The problem is in today's world, AI and robotics can be use to hunt, harm and kill people, albeit under limited circumstances. What happens if at a certain point, AI deduces that if some people decide that its OK to use AI & Robotics to kill humans, why can't AI kill all humans?

Perhaps some might even set others up to take the blame.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I,_Robot_(2004_film)

A.I. & Robotics can be great tools & devices for humanity. However, if people allow themselves to become totally taken over by A.I. control & management systems, don't expect it to be humane.
