Tau from Netflix is not quite what it sells but is worth the look if you are in the deadly artificial intelligence.
Welcome to the science-fiction thriller Netflix Original that makes the phrase "Safe as houses" a painfully archaic term (emphasis on the word "painfully"). Just warning, Tau is not exactly what his trailer would let you believe. Yes, a girl named Julia (Maika Monroe) is fighting the titular AI, but there is a bit of drama and philosophy between the two. Go expect a sci-fi Saw and you will be disappointed, cruelly.
Interestingly, Tau marks the beginning of the first feature film for Federico D'Alessandro that has been hiding in the shadow of film production for some time now (serving as Storyboard artist on projects like I Am Legend and Captain America: The First Avenger ). The man clearly has an eye and he's not afraid to use it – it's a lightly produced release that's more or less a breakthrough hi-tech story.
The main enigma, in a nutshell, is this: Julia was kidnapped by an inventor (Ed Skrein) who uses it as a test subject to perfect her robotic AI. The HAL 9000 in question is expressed with a troubling aplomb by the Oscar winner, Gary Oldman. Until here everything is fine, is not it?
You put my interest in house arrest, say me in addition
Let's go further into the installation here. Julia is not the friendliest of heroes, being a loner who makes money like a thief in shabby nightclubs. One night, she pisses the bad boss, she is torn from her house and wakes up in slavery elsewhere. His new roommates, known only as Subject 1 and Subject 2, share a common bond, a mysterious sub-dermal implant in the neck.
Julia is stripped of her identity and receives the rather unimaginative designation of "Subject 3". The group is then led to endure a series of torturous psychological sessions performed by the hand of the mysterious owner of this lab, Alex.The detached sociopath reveals that the implant collects all of its neural activity in trying to solve increasingly difficult and disturbing tests.The information that is being gleaned is clearly very important because the project involves a mysterious buyer and a deadline that encroaches.This last term can be literal.
Julia, who is smart in her street, finally manages to make her way to special privileges.In exchange for undertaking additional tests, she will have limited mobility around this technological prison. However, freedom of movement comes with its own dangers, because Tau is an unstable god with a battalion of drones and robots under his command. Is not afraid to "expel" yet another subject; Apparently, he has already gone through half a dozen. When Julia realizes that Tau's only weakness is her curiosity and thirst for knowledge of the outside world, she devises a bold plot to escape.
What can I drop in the holidays ? trying to rank Tau in a list of the most haunting AI's sci-fi. The most obvious participants would be Stanley Kubrick's terrifying vision of automation gone awry, HAL 9000 of 2001: A Space Odyssey . This deadly spaceship captain would still be standing with SKYNET, the endless defense network of the Terminator franchise . In the same vein, but hilarious with its Apple II screens, is the WOPR, author of the Third World War, from 1983 WarGames . Last but not least, you can not pbad in front of the calculating and incredibly verbose architect of The Matrix . Ergo. Concordantly. Vis-a-vis. And so on.
You could also scare your audience by mentioning the worrisome state of real life of AI. In late 2017, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that the company had the intention to focus on "artificial intelligence" rather than the "mobile". first and develop more sophisticated applications that can emulate us.
You may have already seen some of this work in Gmail: a wizard will read an incoming message, describe the basic context, and offer one-click answers such as "thank you, I'll be there" or " it sounds good, put me as interested ".C is the shallow end.The next step of Google Duplex is to provide an badistant of sorts who can be called and confident to set appointments for you ( hairstyles, dinner reservations, it all depends on your trust from there, who knows, my money is on the world domination.
What can I look after it's in the same style?
