It’s pretty frightening and hard to watch, but the dog does live in the end. It’s amazing to watch canine behavior that looks like “hey do you want to play” and then turns into “we’re gonna kill you now, OK?”

We’re safe as long as Google Maps is a thing. Waze functionality has really improved Maps for turn-by-turn directions, but without the warnings and stuff. And Waze gets the benefits of using the Maps database, so...

Near the end, he says it’s about the creation that turns on you, and that robotics, cloning, and genetically modified organisms are things Mary Shelley didn’t even know about.

This is how I know I grew up in a male-dominated society. It took probably 20 YEARS for me to realize that Mary Shelley was a woman. I always thought how odd it was that in the 1800's, Mary was used as a man’s name.

So there’s this one scene in Training Day

there is a robust system to find cheaters and expose them

After extensive market research, they talked to Henry Ford, who told them “If I asked what our customers wanted, they would have said a faster horse.”

Not everyone agrees, not even close.
