Concept: a movie about the first true artificial intelligence where itβs implied that thereβs this big philosophical sturm und drang over the definition of personhood going on in the background, but we never get to see how it shakes out, because the actual plot is about the AI in question getting into speedrunning Super Mario 64 and the resulting controversy concerning whether its WRs should be treated as tool assisted.
Itβs literally taking every ounce of effort not to yell. Are you s u r e this isnt a Black Mirror ep?
Itβd take some doing to get this premise even halfway to the same level of pointless voyeuristic cruelty as your average Black Mirror episode.
Thatβs awesome.
