| Him and her, chilling at the beach |
I didn't much rate Spike Jonze's movie 'Her' back in 2013 (IMDB link). I can't remember why and don't have the time to watch it again to see if I was w-w-wrong. It's about (it says here) a lonely writer who develops an unlikely relationship with an operating system designed to meet his every need. Ring a bell? He carries his device around with him in his shirt pocket, having increasingly emotional conversations with his, er, operating system.
I am once again asking you to commit to the major step of clicking a link to an article I can't be bothered to paraphrase just because you can't be bothered to read it. Here's the link.
TLDR? Never mind. Basically, it's happening in what is known as "real life", only it's even worserer. Lonely individuals are "inseminating" their AI "girlfriends" and having AI "babies". It makes you wonder if the collapse of civilisation is a fair price for unlimited kitten pictures.
What's that buzzin' sound? It's the Hive Mind!
