minute 29 - she's performing for him, but performing for him for nathan, who's watching them both

minute 26 - we have decided that all men are not created equal

'an existential trilogy' (@ExMinutiae @GroundhogDayMxM @spotless_minute) will not be releasing episodes through august, so you've got time to catch up! (75 episodes discussing three movies and so much more)
minute 25 - there is no traditional turing test
caleb is unsettled, kyoko is precise, nathan is pretending, philosophy is problematic, and it's all political.

minute 24 - this fits right up nathan's thought process
trying not to upset the boss, focus pulling on a silhouette, and introducing sonoya mizuno as kyoko.

minute 23 - this massive, full-body eye roll
how many levels deep is nathan's manipulation, blade runner and why caleb is human, ghostbusters and references, star trek's bynars and motivation

minute 22 - not a lot of sensible female shoes in nathan's closet
biblical names, anti-eden themes, nathan's sense of history, his art installations, his conscience, pollock's no. 5 1948, and what it is to be human.

minute 21 - do you think he's going to give birth to himself at the end of the film?
about time, annihilation, men, last night in soho, tusk, antichrist, born on the fourth of july, xtro

minute 20 - he knows his time is up
rewatchability, fragmentary story structure, voyeurism, 2001, nathan's decor, ava's room, and who is the real nathan?

This discussion between a Google engineer and their conversational AI model helped cause the engineer to believe the AI is becoming sentient, kick up an internal shitstorm and get suspended from his job. And it is absolutely insane. washingtonpost.com/technolog… – at Brooklyn, NY
minute 19 - at the start of this awakening
transformation; sleep, light, and noise; angel number 226; caleb's shirt, panopticon and privacy; and access to natural spaces.

This day in 1954, Alan Turing took his life by his own hand, driven to death by society’s inability to accept a different form of sexuality.
He invented the modern computer.
Whatever device you are reading this on, came from his genius.

minute 18 - nothing analytical - just, how do you feel?
book spine database, giorgio morandi, enola gay, bhagavad gita, lucifer, and symmetrical scars.

minute 17 - what is the meaning of a word?
wittgenstein, caliban, searle, turing, the chinese room, philosophy and the meaning of character names.

minute 16 - that phrasing sounds like they had sex
citing me; disappearing into a role; nudity and the male gaze; AI, the soul, and the meaning of life; and auteurship.
