What is the movie featured in this episode?
what's up task force here is this week's movie club preview of upgrade you can catch it on redwebpod.com now back home ray starts hearing a voice the voice introduces itself as stem stem's voice is calm obedient very informed and hyper intelligent we find out here that stem cannot read minds as gray looks over the drone footage from that night stem points out details
How does Stem assist Gray in the movie?
The man that shot his wife has a gun implanted in his hand. Stem points out that the man who had his wife's purse has a tattoo. Grey lets Stem take over and sketch the tattoo for him. They've got the guy's name and address.
What are the implications of AI in human movement?
that drawing thing was crazy i was like it makes sense it's like a printer it's so weird it does doesn't it like it's it's so weird that that makes sense yeah that's just how an ai well he also like starts you get that first visual when he stands up and he kind of is a little bit more robotic It was really interesting to see the full, I mean, yes, you want a difference between the human movement and the robot movement, but this is just truly an AI going like, what's the most efficient way to make something happen? And I'm going to make him move that way. True.
It's uncanny in a little bit. It is a little uncanny. Yeah. But it makes sense.
I saw on Wikipedia that they were inspired by Zenyatta from Overwatch and how he moves.
What inspired the movement of the AI character?
Oh, interesting.
That's where the movement came from.
How intense is the fight scene involving Stem?
Gray visits the guy's home. There's nothing until Stem suggests to Gray to say the word on near the living room table. Jackpot messages leading to an old bar. The man arrives back home and they get into a fight. The man doesn't want to hurt him. As Gray is being choked out, Stem suggests that it can take over and function his body for him. Stem is given full control of Gray's body and with precision parries and he hits the man back until he rips his mouth apart with a knife. Stem immediately gives control back to Gray. I was like, that's a little much.
What does Stem's control reveal about AI decision-making?
I was not expecting it to go that crazy.
Well, I guess like it wouldn't have emotions or it's just like this is like I this is this. I guess it's like we got into a fight as the computer stem, right? We got into a fight. I am now in the situation where I have this knife wrapped around his jaw. He landed in this way and I need to terminate said person. This is the most efficient way.
That was the most efficient way. Yeah, well, you know what?
I loved him going, what's going on? Like, what the F? Or I guess we curse on this show, but yeah. And like, as he's fighting, his head's looking around, like all like, what's happening? But his body's just locked in.
Yeah, it was so cool to see that. Like, I mean, also like his body just like shot up as like a plank board off of the ground.
Yeah.
Does that mean he could just do that normally? Or is that, like, the stem just using some sort of extra strong, like, signal to the muscles to launch up like that?
I mean, probably. It's probably using his core and his, like, like, every fiber of his muscle to its full potential.
Yeah. It's like a TazBot. You guys know TazBot?
Yeah.
TazBot? So like GDQ, they have this like program that people like put on games to like the fastest possible way to play that game. That's not like human. There's no human.
Like an advanced game shark. Yeah. Now you're speaking my language. Yeah, I think the cool thing to note here is that we realized that STEM can essentially sense and read and locate other technology within the room. And then also the cool part was, like Trevor was saying, like... Gray, his head and his face and his emotions just were completely independent from the way his arms were moving.
Yeah.
It really felt like there was two different things happening at that same time, which was so awesome to see.
Yeah. It read really well. Like, I think there is something cathartic in an action movie like this. Obviously, it can be overplayed. where you have the Sherlock Holmes type where they know everything and they're just very ahead of the game. There's something like, I don't know, like kind of fantastic and appealing about that because I think everybody wants to kind of be omniscient a little bit.
