M3gan (2023)

Diretor: Gerard Johnstone

Filmes de terror são minha paixão, quando se fala em bonecos, então, pode apostar que eu vou ver correndo, afinal, eu amo um Chucky. Mas diferente dos famosos e queridinhos endemoniados Chucky, Anabelle e Brahms, M3ghan pode ser mais real e mais palpável do que podemos imaginar: ela é uma Inteligência Artificial.

Em tempos do crescimento de IAs para diversos propósitos, seja das mais simples nos nossos celulares, como assistentes pessoais, até as mais complicadas que calculam como crescem buracos negros. A possibilidade de um brinquedo com um IA complexo está cada vez mais perto, afinal, crianças de todas as idades já são expostas a tecnologias desde cedo e mesmo antes de aprenderem a falar, já conseguem pular os anúncios do youtube para o seu vídeo do Baby Shark começar.

Esse filme fala disso. Não é só uma discussão de se Inteligências Artificiais podem ser perigosas e aprenderem a matar, é uma discussão sobre tecnologia e parentalidade. Nesse filme estrelado por Alison Williams de "Corra!", Cady de nove anos perde os pais em um acidente e vai morar com sua tia Gemma que é engenheira robótica numa empresa que fabrica brinquedos. Enquanto trabalha na sua nova invenção, Gemma tem que lidar com o luto e o trabalho difícil que é criar uma criança. E que forma melhor e mais moderna do que uma inteligência artificial para fazer o trabalho por você?

Quando Gemma entrega a boneca à criança, ela deixa as duas sozinhas sem supervisão que se apega àquele brinquedo como se fosse a única fonte de afeto que ela teria na vida. Cady se recusa a ir para a nova escola sem a M3gan, em vários momentos se tornou agressiva quando foram separadas. E isso não é ficção, crianças que são expostas demais a vídeos no youtube, jogos e etc, podem desenvolver um vício, mesmo quando muito novas. E se não houver contato real de conversas e brincadeiras no mundo real, elas tendem a não desenvolver essa conexão gostosa de parentes e filhes.

A lição que fica em relação a isso, é que a tecnologia tem que ser apenas um auxílio, uma diversão, se não pode se tornar uma grande distração. As interações humanas com amigos e família precisam ser mais importantes. Refeições juntos, a hora da história, ajuda na lição de casa, passeios aos fins de semana. Tecnologia nenhuma vai conseguir compensar o tempo de qualidade de uma criança com seu adulto favorito, mesmo que ela prometa ser uma IA programada para ser sua melhor amiga. Quanto as Inteligências Artificiais matarem pessoas e cometerem crimes? Fiquem tranquiles, o máximo que elas podem fazer é roubar os seus trabalhos para fazer o trabalho dos outros de forma incompetente e fazer dancinhas divertidas com acrobacias do TikTok.

Best of 2023 Movies #14: M3GAN

January usually is a dead zone when it comes to anything that isn’t either the expansion of a movie going for best picture, a family film released during the holiday season that some hadn’t seen yet, or in the case of today’s entry the annual horror movie.

Though here we get a presence wrapped up in a famous dance.

M3GAN involves a robotics toy designer taking in her niece while working on a new fully ai companion for kids. When she doesn’t make the connection with her she decides to utilize her creation dubbed M3GAN as a test.

Only the doll seeks more than a companion role.

Unexpectedly enjoyable with great turns by Allison Williams and Ronny Chieng highlight how much ai had an influence this year.

If only ChatGPT could do a cross between the Wednesday and M3GAN dance.

SUM 22: The Model 3 Generative Android may be uncanny valley, but Amie Donald and Jenna Davis wonderfully create a new icon in horror.

im going back to the game again as my mourn watch rook because... because. because fuck it. i wanted to go through and make her really cohesive now that i understand more about nevarra and the mourn watch. ive stuck with my hero of ferelden for a decade and a half, i ought to do some real thinking about this protagonist, too

i have. much and many thoughts on various events throughout her life, but here's some little deets about ward

makes seed bead flowers for mourners as a comforting token. started with the really simple 7/8 bead ones but eventually learned to make ones w/ layers n separated petals (which still aren't particularly complicated or even much more time consuming to do, but were harder to grasp as a wee bab). if she has the time to sit with a mourner and have them tell her about the deceased, she'd make one just for sewing on to her watcher regalia, as a show of remembering the dead

a collection of possible flowers you might get. type n size n number very dependent on how long she's able to sit n listen to you. it's pretty quick to bang some of these out but she does have Real Watcher Duties Now, not just busywork being given to a child

she's been doing this for about 30 years but if you ask her who a given flower was for, she'd be able to tell you their name and something about them. considers it an important aspect of her job as a watcher.

was really really attached to the mourning masks, especially as a child. way, way more comfortable around the dead in the living, so the mask was an easy way to be around people without making her discomfort quite as obvious, and also helped her feel like she was there As A Watcher/Aligned With The Dead so it was easier to come across as confident because she was feeling a role in knew what was expected of her

fucking comes at you with this on with the boundless energy of an 8-year-old. are you comforted yet. how about now. how about now. how about now.

could be surprisingly effective with other small children tho. yes, startle a grieving child out of remembering that their mother is dead. follow the grinning skeleton mask and tell it what flowers and colors she liked and come pick out something to put on the grave. so, it reinforced this as a habit. it helped! sometimes! so she just kept doing it

as a consequence, she struggled to school her expressions for a long time. she would get so used to wearing it that when she wasn't, she felt very naked and would forget to do little things like not grimace when someone said something she didn't like, so came across... strange in this aspect as well.

annnnnnnd absolutely 100% met and developed a little baby crush on johanna hezenkoss.

hezenkoss was never exactly Her Teacher but she got to sit in on a couple of her classes, was exceedingly impressed, and really fought to be picked as an assistant. probably didn't get a super official role but would offer her services anyway to free up johanna's time. ("hi professor! loved your latest paper; SO fascinating. excited to hear the next one! i heard you mentioned you needed to collect more samples for your research, and, well, im headed down to the west hall later anyway; would you like me to summon up some spirits there and get those samples for you? it's no trouble, really!")

i think johanna has always thought of herself as hot shit so this is nothing new to her, so yeah, sure, she'll accept being doted on. yes, make her life easier so she's free to spend more time pursuing her research and true passions. it's only right that lesser minds take on the grunt work.

i also think ward had... interesting theories about spirits that nevertheless sometimes worked -- 'if you sing to wisps you will often attract more :) i think it's partly because of the resonance but mostly about their innate curiosity and fascination with living beings; they like imperfect loud songs better than practiced perfect ones, so far. im still collecting data to support that thought, though" -- so it was a Wait for her to do some of her own research and develop new theories, so it wasn't all bad even though [spongebob voice] you used me........ for spirit exploitation

contemplating something like, ended up with hezenkoss as her advisor on her practicum, and then had to suddenly switch to another professor to supervise her really close to the end without explanation, which kinda futzed with her progress but which she muddled through with markedly less enthusiasm, BUT that might be Too Much of a connection and it might be better to keep pre-game brushes relatively brief

crazy to me that m3gan is higher on rotten tomatoes than barbie. i guess some probably had it out for barbie from the start (and its far from a perfect movie), but as far as feminine, doll-based satire goes, m3gan is so blunt and basic and really not as good as i was hoping.

My favorite movies of 2023 (so far), part 1

[mechanicaldance]

even before being possessed by Emelie Ballora always had been lifelike. From the sleek design, the fluidity of motions, the literal ticking of a heart. Her AI is the most advanced out of all the animatronics built, and became even more “advanced” because of Em.

Ballora only becomes more lifelike as the years go on and by security breach happens, you literally can’t tell that she’s a robot (except you can bc face lates and all that).
