The future of mankind - #AI meets genetic engineering
Long forgotten but still considered a milestone in sci-fi history - #Battlestar #Galactica remake from 2004 to 2009.
Humans are manufactured in giant factories as perfect genetic copies: the #cylons. 12 models have been designed: 6 male and 6 female models (we are back 20 years from today). They built giant spaceships and start a war against mankind.
Starring James Edward Olmos, Jamie Bamber, Kathie Sackhof et.al.

Gemini and Siri are teaming up. Will they figure out that humans are obsolete?

And here’s the thing: when the #Cylons left the Colonies (after internal debate and pressure from the Sixes), they’d already begun restoring infrastructure. Power grids, atmospheric filters, and surviving city cores were partially functioning. The show confirms this during Roslin’s return to #Kobol and later scouting missions. Some cities were damaged but far from uninhabitable. 3)

To quote #Caprica6, "Are you alive?" As in, when do we need to verify that we are human [alive]? Hmmmm...

The treaty with the #Cylons has held for years, so this seems like a great time to load some untested code onto the defense mainframe.

More and more it seems we're coming back to the Battlestar Galactica edict of never networking computers together.
Except in this case the #Cylons are corporations.

Good look at a bad problem. The author is a friend from grad schol at the #University of #Colorado, where she was a faculty member when I was a grad student. She’s since gone on to bigger and better things, and I’ve gone on to … well, things.
Anyway. I’ve never been particularly worried about #Cylons, #Skynet, etc. Humans doing stupid human tricks, and using #AI to do them much faster, OTOH, yeah.
The internet community of anti-science #cranks is an example of #model #collapse happening at human speed. #Antivaxers, #creationists, #climate change #deniers et al. prey on people with legitimate questions about some particular aspect of the broad #consensus. Those people often go down an increasingly loony rabbit hole, and end up propagating the absurdity, sometimes adding their own bizarre spin which their new-found colleagues happily add to the ideology.
If this becomes part of the #academic ecosystem, with AI reviewers approving AI-generated #papers and no human checks on the process, the scholarly corpus will become hopelessly contaminated. I have no idea what to do about that.

@BarbChamberlain Now I'm going to have to find time to watch this. Gave up during season 2 when it first came out #Battlestar #BattlestarGalactica #SF #SciFi #TV #war #ClimateAction #Earth #Cylons

Finally watching "Battlestar Galactica" long after the remake wrapped up. In S4 and I say, "Watch when they find out that the Earthlings burned up their planet and killed themselves."

@LilahTovMoon So, when the AI's have bodies, and they ask us, "Are you alive?", we should keep in mind that humans are the ones who "tortured" and enslaved them.

I watched an episode of the original Battlestar Galactica (1978).
It's rough BUT the old cylons are about one trillion times cooler than the terrible cgi ones from the reboot. They filmed them with this diffraction effect that is heaven and the voices are *chef's kiss* 😘

Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome
https://youtu.be/-Zuk3MuGMdM
If you are fans of the original Battlestar Galactica (I am not) or are passionate about the 2004 rebooted Battlestar Galactica (I absolutely am!), then you will love the Blood & Chrome prequel movie!
It shows a cocky & young William Adama before he became famous throughout the fleet. What I loved about this movie was how realistic it was when it came to portraying the horrors & lies of war that soldiers see contrasted with the glories & glamour of what the public sees.
There are numerous excellent scenes, including these two (light spoilers ahead):
https://youtu.be/NOllLhUnKDQ
As well as this scene which shows just how frightening the Cylons are in close quarters.
https://youtu.be/d2cjEOYE1ek
The movie is on Amazon Prime Video (for purchase as it’s not free for Prime users), but it’s worth the few dollars to rent.

Battlestar Galatica: Gaius Baltar & Cylon Six
#BattlestarGalactica is one of my favorite #SciFi shows of all time, & there are so many awesome episodes in series.
However, this scene from the very first (or could it be second‽) episodes of the premier when Gaius Baltar learns of the existence of humanities mortal enemy (the Cylons) but also a horrific truth that he is unable to fully accept as fact until near the end.
https://youtu.be/vGMdZI2W9dg
This was a great episode, & Baltar was one of the most complex characters in the entire series. You should check it out on Amazon Prime Video, Youtube or Peacock (the latter is streaming all of the seasons).

The #twexodus’s resulting chaos, delays, and flashcrowd-like effect on #mastodon made me think of the first episodes of Battlestar Galactica where everyone’s trying to get on any ship they can find to escape the #Cylons, no-one knows what they’re doing, or if they can find their friends/family…
Here, however, the vibe is pretty hopeful, I’m happy to chill and let things settle down. The higher signal to noise ratio is *so* much nicer than #TheBirdPlace… I can feel my blood pressure coming down.
