{"Of course, the most important of all the silent feature-length SF films—not that there are all that many—is Fritz Lang's 1927 masterpiece "Metropolis," which gives us robots, underground cities, and the mad scientist Rottwang. (At this writing, film buffs are eager to see the uncut version of the film recently discovered in Argentina and not shown publicly in 80 years.)"}

1973, some 5 years after the release of 2001: ASO, IBM opened its Chicago HQ was in the form of a 700' tall monolith supercomputer.

In a way, IBM has already been experimenting with Monolith computing technology. However, unlike the teleportation that's depicted in the movies, such technology is still in its infancy.

The Data Center Monolith

The Monolith was A.C.C.'s depiction of a hybrid-mainframe-topological-quantum-supercomputer-server. Whether in the year 2001 or 2010 such quantum machines still only exist at the theoretical concept level, as does time travel.

The old IBM tower is located next to the Marina_City complex as AMA_Plaza.

The former IBM Building at 330_North_Wabash, Chicago was designed to look like a 700 foot tall monolith computer.

"For the time it was built the IBM Building housed an extraordinarily large number of computers, which required an advanced level of environmental engineering. The walls were sealed by a plastic thermal barrier, and a reverse refrigeration system was used to reclaim heat given off by machines and people." http://www.emporis.com/application/?nav=building&lng=3&id=ibmbuilding-chicago-il-usa ,

So far the iP5 isn't quite shaped like a pocket monolith computer phone, but the iP5 has a lot of interesting features & potential. The Android phones don't seem to offer a monolith version either. Perhaps because its better to have rounded corners, but some people still might like to have a monolith phone. However, that option may have to wait quite a while until one can carry a room temperature, superconductor, Quantum+Computer in their pocket.

Ray_Kurzweil has done a tremendous amount of research over the decades. However, some areas of research still seems to be lacking. That the universe could be an interactive recording & projection of space & time that consciousness experiences life in. Teleportation is indicative of recording and transmitting data & energy. Time travel is the ability to temporally move through this cosmic matrix.

Then there is the issue of synchronicity, that's indicative of perceiving peculiar patterns of coincidence through this interactive recording. If consciousness & life forms exist on other worlds & dimensions, some of them could be of a malevolent or indifferent nature. https://fusionanomaly.net/childhoodsend.html

It's better to have humans at least sort of controlling quantum-computers, rather than QC controlling humanity. Otherwise, it could become something like the Rehoboam QC in WW controlling humanity and allowing advanced robots to be more free than the people.

Before there was Lockheed_Martin Robotics and AI, there was the actor, Lock_Martin, who played GORT, an AI entity from another world. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0552696

So, Lock Martin plays GORT. Several decades later, a corporate merger takes place forming Lockheed Martin, which would go into AI R&D.  Coincidence or synchronicity?

Perhaps Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project is just another old AI Sci-Fi move from a bygone era. 

"In a last desperate attempt to regain human control, a secret meeting is arranged in Europe between Forbin and his Soviet counterpart, Dr. Kuprin. Colossus learns of it, and both computers order Forbin's return to the U.S. while Soviet agents are ordered to kill Dr. Kuprin, under threat of a missile launch against Moscow. Colossus orders Forbin to be placed under 24-hour surveillance. Forbin has a last unmonitored meeting with his team, and proposes that Dr. Cleo Markham pretend to be his mistress. Colossus grudgingly grants them unmonitored privacy when they are in bed together, and they use these interludes to plan to regain control of Colossus.

Concluding that Colossus's only real power resides in its control of nuclear missiles, Forbin suggests covertly disarming them. The American and Soviet governments develop a three-year plan to replace all launch triggers with undetectable fakes. Additionally, one of the programmers comes up with a plan to feed in an "ordinary" test program that will hopefully overload and disable Colossus.

Colossus creates a voice synthesizer and uses it to announce that it has fused with Guardian. It instructs both governments to redirect their nuclear arsenals at those countries not yet under "Colossus control". Forbin and others see this new directive as an opportunity to covertly disarm the missiles much more quickly, and they celebrate. The disarming process begins and seems to go undetected by Colossus. The attempted system overload during routine maintenance fails, however, and the responsible programmers are killed.

Colossus arranges a worldwide broadcast in which it proclaims itself "the voice of World Control", declaring that it will prevent war, as it was designed to do. Humankind is presented with the choice between "the peace of plenty and content, or the peace of unburied death". Colossus states that it has for some time been monitoring the attempts to disarm its missiles and as a lesson will now detonate two missiles in their silos, one in the US and one in the USSR, killing thousands "so that you will learn by experience that I do not tolerate interference". The computer then gives the design team plans for an even larger computer complex to be built into the island of Crete.

Colossus later tells Forbin that the world, now freed from war, will create a new human millennium that will raise humankind to new heights, but only under its absolute rule. Colossus informs Forbin that "freedom is an illusion" and that "in time you will come to regard me not only with respect and awe, but with love". Forbin responds, "Never!" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project#Plot

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project#Remake? Given at how much technology has advanced since 1970, a remake or updated version just might be too frightening for the masses.
