eat it kermit
West World is the most overrated series from this year.
...
I do not under stand why any one likes West World.
doesn't look like anything to me
>Short Circuit
>artificial intelligence
Bro, he was inhabited by the spirit of voodoo serial killer.
HAHAHAAHAHHA ITS WHAT THEY SAY ON THE SHOW
pwned
dude robots have feelings
Shit tier
Analysis: What did he mean by this?
...
Just look at those feelings
We spent quality time unraveling the secrets of this show, faggot
West World was just much too predictable
How do the guns \w/ork in \W/est \W/orld?
Of course. It's bold enough to declare its own theorems for the nature and role of A.I. in our inevitable futures, while walking its audience through the potential drawbacks and challenges they'll bring
The significance of the maze instantly blew A.I. and Ex Machina out of the water in terms of depth. There's far more potential here...the only issue is the further along Westworld goes, the more suspension of disbelief that'll be required, seeing as anything further than the exact moment of a superintelligence's true emergence + self-actualization will be pure speculation and fantasy.
The show is smart because it knows how to dress up the information that man has been living with for generations extremely well (Moore's law, theory of ten dimensions, etc), and all to the comfiest score HBO's ever released. As long as you're VERY patient with the absolutely shite Maeve moments, this is definitely in the top 3 shows of the year.
sure, but a good portion of the show wasn't really focused on AI
>no Metropolis
>no Blade Runner
yes
>no Matrix
rip-off
>no Terminator
>no Short Circuit
very good movies, but not in pantheon
I'm watching it and I'd like it more if they didn't shove in the obligatory cuckold that white knights some robots. Same shit in ex machina.
Hosts typically get blanks
F-. Try making that post without using the word "cuckold". I think you can do it. I believe in you, junior.
William gets a pretty big reality check towards the end.
Even though he's just spouting a buzzword, he's not that far off from the truth.
You won't get the show if you refuse to introspect though. The constantly recurring theme of people 'finding themselves' in the park is deployed to both make our vicarious experiences more intense, and also to generate fear in a converging reality of usurpation; Man will be dethroned, this is how it will happen, we will not be able to say no.
It's why it feels so reminiscent of Skynet pre-Maeve reveal. If Ford, likely named such in relation to Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World", truly had had no hand in spurring Maeve, that would be the path. I like that they didn't make it that cut and dry though, shows that they're clever enough to lead you there, as well as clever enough to not.
Doesn't look like anything to me
>The significance of the maze instantly blew A.I. and Ex Machina out of the water in terms of depth
agree
> ...cuckold that white knights some robot
keep watching
Ford was actually named after Robert Ford, the guy who killed Jesse James.
blanks that HIT the guests!
>Ford, likely named such in relation to Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World"
Interesting take, although I think they borrowed the name Robert Ford from the man who shot Jesse James. Ford also dies in a similar fashion to Jesse James, shot in the back by his protege/creation
Tony Hopkins BTFO Morgan Freeman as God character

also used in the great climax in one of Black Mirror episodes
HOLY SHIT, IT'S BERNARD!
The theory that I've accepted is that all bullets are "weak", that is if they hit a guest or a host they do not penetrate. However all hosts have squibs within their bodies that burst when hit by a bullet.
That's VR, not robots
Really?
Thanks for the heads up.
But I wouldn't just draw the line there, there has to be at least something tongue in cheek. Both are engineers of apex, post-human species, and both are deeply emphasized as Gods in their contexts. In Huxley, control is manifested through generations of bioengineering at the hands of multiple, highly educated controllers -- in Westworld, it's instant, at the touch of a screen. The scales at play are entirely different though; one is an amusement park, and the other is most of the world.
I'd say it would be more open to interpretation if his first name was different but he's actually named Robert Ford.
Metropolis the anime as well
>westworld.wikia.com
WICKED coincidence then. Holy shit.
Still doubt far and away that I'm the first to have noticed tho
So what was the significance of all the hosts stopping when Maeve ran off the train to go back to Westworld?
Also I'm tired of the kill all humans scenario. It doesn't really make sense. The justification is always "humans are terrible and won't let you live, so you have to kill them first". But then that just makes AI as terrible as humans, thus killing the moral.
>the greatest mind of our time made a video defending raping dolores
what did he mean by this?
Still AI senpai
absolutely not
Anyone else feel profoundly touched after watching Westworld S1?
There is something that I can't put my finger on, I feel different somehow.
Also this track goddamn.
youtube.com
>>no Terminator
Just a remake of Westworld 1973 anyway :^)
You just blew my fucking mind.
Kubrick, Spielberg...it all makes sense now.
Yes
pretending like you're an AI movie expert but don't mention Mogan
did they ever show who Wyatt was?
delores was wyatt

>Anything other than a rip-off cartoon that excited horny autists at 14
Please, tell me more about how it's source comic covered deep and nuanced sci-fi concepts and even a few topics that weren't plagarised from a more creative culture.
The only people who think this is the greatest anything are pseudo-intellectual morons who are so blinded by their desire to appear smart on the internet they cannot see the obvious fact that Westworld is a poorly made mess that fails as an exploration of the themes it purports to tackle and only appears to have depth because the show explicitly and bluntly reminds the audience of its "philosophical depths" every episode. I'm talking about these guys

What about that guy that drank milk and it all came out of his body because he was full of holes? Clearly he was a guest, but somehow the augmented reality makes it so he is not physically harmed?
Yup it is
Elsie > Armitice > shit > the rest
Channel 4s Humans series is much better and does it in half the time
Swap the first 2 and we're agreed on the rest
