Well, @llamasoft_ox and @gilesgoat have supassed themselves with I, Robot. I popped into #PSVR2 to see what it was like, and emerged three hours later, only because the eldest has a swimming class to get to.

Shades of Hovver Bovver and Tempest, with an assault on the senses that has paved neural pathways I never knew I had.

Wonderful balance of puzzle solving and frantic arcade fury, all discovered through cyber-dream logic.

Masterpiece.

"There have always been ghosts in the machine: random segments of code, that have grouped together to form unexpected protocols. Unanticipated, these free radicals engender questions of free will, creativity, and even the nature of what we might call the soul. Why is it that when some robots are left in darkness, they will seek out the light? Why is it that when robots are stored in an empty space, they will group together, rather than stand alone? How do we explain this behavior? Random segments of code? Or is it something more? When does a perceptual schematic become consciousness? When does a difference engine become the search for truth? When does a personality simulation become the bitter mote... of a soul?"

P.S. - Fuck Cartesian Dualism. All my homies hate Cartesian Dualism.

Did Elon Musk rip off "I Robot" designs for his Optimus and Robotaxi products? We might suggest that he's not even trying to hide it. Folks on social media called out Musk for the similarities between the humanoid robot and NS5 design in the 2004 movie, as well as the Robotaxi and Audi RSQ, but it wasn't much of a gotcha, since the Tesla boss titled his Cybercab Robotaxi presentation "We Robot." Proyas, who directed "I Robot" wrote on X, "Hey Elon, can I have my designs back please?" while Matt Granger, who worked as Proyas's assistant on the movie, posted, "I too wish to offer my full-fingered 'f*** you' to Elon and his utter lack of creativity." Here's more from @THR.
