00:02:01.072 --> 00:02:06.442
I'm your host, Andre Bonner, and today... Merhaba Wapa.
00:02:07.250 --> 00:02:09.307
I am Pak. Westworld.
00:02:10.972 --> 00:02:18.652
1973. Artificial Intelligence, Chaos, and the Dangers of Plain God.
00:02:30.802 --> 00:02:37.370
You can't run, you can't hide, and when the gunslinger locks onto you,
00:02:37.806 --> 00:02:40.737
there ain't nowhere left to go.
00:02:42.171 --> 00:02:47.855
Westworld is one of those sci-fi stories that taps into humanity's ongoing fear
00:02:47.855 --> 00:02:50.002
of artificial intelligence going rogue.
00:02:51.029 --> 00:02:56.492
What happens when the machines we create become smarter, stronger,
00:02:56.997 --> 00:02:59.882
and more dangerous than the people who built them?
00:03:00.896 --> 00:03:08.855
My introduction to the world of Westworld actually came through a 2016 TV series, right?
00:03:09.441 --> 00:03:20.963
And boy, that show had me thinking about AI, consciousness, and what it really means to be human.
00:03:22.478 --> 00:03:30.171
But after exploring and experiencing that version of the story, I had to go back.
00:03:30.728 --> 00:03:33.480
And see where it all started.
00:03:34.382 --> 00:03:38.260
Imagine paying good money to go on

vacation to a resort,
00:03:38.875 --> 00:03:45.905
where you can live out your wildest fantasies, gunslingers, shootouts,
00:03:46.114 --> 00:03:50.444
adventure, and all without the risk of actually getting hurt.
00:03:53.438 --> 00:04:00.236
Because the resort guarantees your safety, you know, nothing could possibly go wrong.
00:04:02.293 --> 00:04:06.682
Welcome to Delos, where the hosts are programmed to entertain you,
00:04:07.030 --> 00:04:12.452
the guests are supposed to be in control, and nobody is supposed to die.
00:04:13.243 --> 00:04:15.315
Until the machines decide they've had enough.
00:04:16.278 --> 00:04:22.615
Let's head back to the original Westworld and see what happens when the vacation
00:04:22.615 --> 00:04:27.712
of your dreams turns into a fight for survival.
00:04:36.715 --> 00:04:45.367
Westworld is a 1973 American science fiction western film written and directed by Michael Crichton.
00:04:46.215 --> 00:04:52.150
The film follows guests visiting an interactive amusement park containing lifelike
00:04:52.150 --> 00:04:55.335
androids that unexpectedly begin to malfunction.
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:03.967
It stars Yul Brynner as an android in the amusement park with Richard Benjamin
00:05:04.298 --> 00:05:07.885
and James Brolin as guests of the park.
00:05:08.860 --> 00:05:16.510
The film was from an original screenplay by Crichton and was his first theatrical film as director.
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:25.850
After one TV film, it was also the first feature film to use a digital image
00:05:25.850 --> 00:05:31.179
processing to pixelate photography to simulate an android's point of view.
00:05:32.003 --> 00:05:38.493
Critical reception was largely positive at the time, and in retrospective reviews,
00:05:39.277 --> 00:05:44.397
Westworld was nominated for Hugo, Nebula, and Saturn Awards.
00:05:45.604 --> 00:05:53.410
Westworld was followed by a sequel, Future World, 1976, and a short-lived TV,
00:05:54.050 --> 00:05:57.156
series, Beyond Westworld, 1980.
00:05:58.404 --> 00:06:04.987
A second television series based on the film debuted in 2016 on HBO.
00:06:13.755 --> 00:06:19.247
These are my personal insights and interpretations of Westworld,
00:06:20.097 --> 00:06:24.283
including some of my favorite moments, themes, and characters.
00:06:24.770 --> 00:06:30.234
So, what can I say about this film? I mean, it's just, you know,
00:06:30.234 --> 00:06:37.647
highly, highly realistic adult amusement part, you know, which they call Delos, right?
00:06:38.831 --> 00:06:47.214
And it feature the three theme worlds, right? One is the Western world, Westworld.
00:06:47.651 --> 00:06:51.864
It's like the American old Westerns where you watch, you know,
00:06:51.864 --> 00:06:57.924
the cowboy Indian show, the cowboy, you know, in a show and thing, you know.
00:06:58.882 --> 00:07:03.664
And medieval world, like medieval Europe, where you have, like,
00:07:03.664 --> 00:07:07.641
you know, people basically um with knights and
00:07:08.059 --> 00:07:13.134
shining armor and you know round table king arthur kind of thing and then you
00:07:13.134 --> 00:07:16.947
have roman world now which is this ancient city,
00:07:17.440 --> 00:07:20.544
you know like greece or pompeii you know,
00:07:21.124 --> 00:07:26.554
you know based on pompeii right and we know what pompeii connotations have been
00:07:26.554 --> 00:07:30.869
you know volcano day from doctor who and you know i'm saying,
00:07:31.790 --> 00:07:37.984
many different connotations can be taken right the resort worlds them of them
00:07:37.984 --> 00:07:40.920
populated with androids right,
00:07:42.029 --> 00:07:49.128
that they're basically indistinguishable from human beings except for the hands
00:07:49.337 --> 00:07:54.104
right because if you look at the hands the hands are slightly bigger they aren't they haven't gotten.
00:07:55.224 --> 00:08:01.334
Good at doing the hands this kind of reminds me of when ai just dropped on the
00:08:01.334 --> 00:08:08.490
scene in the market and you know we had some ai videos that necessarily never look realistic,
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:15.964
because you know ai didn't perfect certain things like how to write text you
00:08:15.964 --> 00:08:18.730
know so certain images and videos,
00:08:19.229 --> 00:08:26.683
you know the text would appear backwards or you know the the letters wouldn't look right at all right.
00:08:28.517 --> 00:08:33.584
So you know this is what it kind of reminds me of right.
00:08:34.762 --> 00:08:40.493
And they are programmed, these androids are programmed with characters of the
00:08:40.493 --> 00:08:41.843
historical environment.
00:08:41.843 --> 00:08:46.923
So, for instance, in Western world, we would have like the bartenders and the
00:08:46.923 --> 00:08:55.479
call girls and the gunslinger, you know, who are basically acting out those roles, right?
00:08:56.023 --> 00:09:02.283
And in medieval world you have the you know black knight and you know the king
00:09:02.283 --> 00:09:05.511
and the queen and you know you you have,
00:09:05.994 --> 00:09:10.573
the servants you know and you know people who are looking for looking after
00:09:10.573 --> 00:09:14.727
them and in the ancient city of pompeii you have the,
00:09:15.438 --> 00:09:17.998
aristocrats and the you know,
00:09:18.772 --> 00:09:21.063
the the thinkers you know and
00:09:21.063 --> 00:09:24.676
and this the philosopher looking kind of people them you know i'm saying.
00:09:25.622 --> 00:09:32.390
So yeah for this and all of those enjoyments you know in each one of these worlds,
00:09:32.935 --> 00:09:35.356
it's a measly one thousand dollars per day,
00:09:36.030 --> 00:09:40.677
yes you know of course so guess get free get into,
00:09:41.373 --> 00:09:46.713
the adventure and the rule and the character you know i'm saying you get for
00:09:46.713 --> 00:09:53.458
dress up you know like one of the west world people you get for dress up as a medieval,
00:09:54.050 -->
00:09:59.133
you know knight or you know warrior or whatever you know and even in the ancient
00:09:59.133 --> 00:10:03.982
city of pompeii you get for have that toga and that robe that you know i'm saying yeah.
00:10:04.990 --> 00:10:11.653
And you know that's only indulge you know and that alone you also get to indulge
00:10:12.033 --> 00:10:19.217
sexually if you desire right and even simulated fights to the death right and.
00:10:20.550 --> 00:10:28.215
The big thing about it is that it is supposed to be the safest place to be right
00:10:28.418 --> 00:10:32.917
so even though we have simulated death you don't actually die or you know human
00:10:32.917 --> 00:10:34.856
beings shouldn't die right at least,
00:10:35.692 --> 00:10:38.889
that's on the tin okay so,
00:10:39.972 --> 00:10:46.857
in the opening scene right let's just you know start from there the opening scene we basically get,
00:10:47.858 --> 00:10:52.927
a ad basically of delos this guy basically in you know that they are in my heart
00:10:52.927 --> 00:10:56.197
a few guests that are actually coming from out of the,
00:10:56.657 --> 00:11:01.517
amusement park you know them just done them adventure or whatever it is and
00:11:01.517 --> 00:11:04.704
they're talking about how you know them like it and stuff,
00:11:05.817 --> 00:11:14.897
but there is a hint because some of the or one of the persons who came out them kind of like yo,
00:11:16.097 --> 00:11:20.207
no really you know them kind of hint at it but at the same time they're like
00:11:20.207 --> 00:11:25.817
yeah me they enjoy it but you know that kind of vibe where I say boy I can brush
00:11:25.817 --> 00:11:27.797
off that one day that's the way how,
00:11:28.999 --> 00:11:32.877
the guy who seems to be interviewing these people right and then he ends with,
00:11:33.533 --> 00:11:38.827
his line you know that Delos is great and you know you should come and he's
00:11:38.827 --> 00:11:41.457
basically inviting those who are watching this,
00:11:42.215 --> 00:11:45.037
particular ad, right? All right.
00:11:46.654 --> 00:11:55.559
We then get to see where they are, you know, the people who pay for the resort,
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:59.158
they are being shipped in via some trains.
00:11:59.478 --> 00:12:05.743
So Peter Martin, right, who is a first time visitor to Delos and his friend
00:12:05.743 --> 00:12:08.883
John Blaine, who seem to be, he'll go there already.
00:12:08.883 --> 00:12:14.273
Him go westworld he may enjoy himself and he basically i bring him bridging and i say yo,
00:12:15.103 --> 00:12:18.423
yo bridging you know said this is gonna be the wickedest thing you're gonna
00:12:18.423 --> 00:12:21.193
experience in a brother and he arrived with me
00:12:21.613 --> 00:12:26.053
everything good man and thing and you know of course peter martin is like yo
00:12:26.053 --> 00:12:30.689
you know i don't really know about this minute no you know but man say yo that's
00:12:30.817 --> 00:12:33.162
easy man you're good everything good,
00:12:33.908 --> 00:12:38.313
him get excited because you know them them you know you know like when you go
00:12:38.313 --> 00:12:41.935
up on a plane and for the first time and you see the.
00:12:44.110 --> 00:12:49.053
Air hostess i give the demonstration you know and all that yeah all that you
00:12:49.053 --> 00:12:53.083
know i'm saying the man that's have that new he's a new baby feeling you know
00:12:53.083 --> 00:12:55.505
what i'm saying to this thing so,
00:12:56.643 --> 00:13:03.233
they get there and they he's amazed at how the androids behave so human-like,
00:13:03.900 --> 00:13:07.913
and he's bridging you know john And if I tell him, say, yo, you know,
00:13:08.612 --> 00:13:12.217
these are androids, you know what I'm saying? And thing on, really, you know, say, what?
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:14.707
You know, his mind's blown. You know what I'm saying?
00:13:15.555 --> 00:13:20.913
So they get dressed because, you know, when to enter the Westworld,
00:13:20.913 --> 00:13:22.973
basically you have to dress as your character.
00:13:22.973 --> 00:13:27.753
So whatever, you know, so you get your gun, you get your, you get all the little
00:13:27.753 --> 00:13:33.904
things you know, you're going to need for your vacation, basically, in this world. Right.
00:13:35.164 --> 00:13:42.107
So, yeah, unlike all of the other movies that I've been doing up to this point,
00:13:43.012 --> 00:13:46.815
those are virtual. But this one is actually realistic.
00:13:47.174 --> 00:13:50.263
It's a realistic world that they're going to be immersed in, right?
00:13:51.043 --> 00:13:55.435
I just had to drop that in. If you have been, you know, listening to the podcast,
00:13:56.010 --> 00:14:00.503
for a couple of weeks ago and be like, yeah, you know, Andres seemed to be building to something.
00:14:00.811 --> 00:14:06.088
So here is one of those that kind of deviates a little bit. but not too much,
00:14:06.853 --> 00:14:12.535
all right so back to the movie so you know of course them have them gun hunting
00:14:12.535 --> 00:14:13.320
and whatever so they're in one of.
00:14:15.566 --> 00:14:21.210
Them saloons right if you know about westerns right and,
00:14:21.961 --> 00:14:27.635
them you know getting um a drink having a drink and stuff and there's this gunslinger
00:14:27.635 --> 00:14:32.625
right the gunslinger is played by Yul Brynner and I have to,
00:14:33.176 --> 00:14:37.217
mention Yul Brynner because Yul Brynner does a fantastic,
00:14:38.155 --> 00:14:41.806
portrayal you know what I'm saying man so,
00:14:42.661 --> 00:14:47.275
this gunslinger did here and thing and you know him pick a fight with them which
00:14:47.275 --> 00:14:51.960
is a part of the role play right pick a fight with them and thing and,
00:14:52.699 --> 00:14:57.025
you know John look for him and he's like yo I hear a thing listening you go
00:14:57.025 --> 00:14:59.895
I'm not telling you what to do, I'm not giving you, you know,
00:14:59.895 --> 00:15:02.918
I'm basically, I'm going to make you handle that situation here.
00:15:04.060 --> 00:15:12.135
So, Peter, you know, gets the thing there, you know, him challenge the gunslinger
00:15:12.135 --> 00:15:17.315
basically, and the gunslinger and him pop off weapons.
00:15:18.161 --> 00:15:24.485
And they give a little slow motion right of it as if they said why you know
00:15:24.485 --> 00:15:31.047
Peter move very fast with him gun and him shoot the gunslinger boy,
00:15:32.219 --> 00:15:37.609
take him out you understand in one fellow swooped so you know.
00:15:39.083 --> 00:15:42.867
You know, Peter is like, yo, you know, me just blew away the man and thing.
00:15:42.867 --> 00:15:46.554
And he's like, yeah, you know, everything was kind of concerned.
00:15:46.954 --> 00:15:49.397
And John is like, yo, you know, remember I said Android, you know,
00:15:49.397 --> 00:15:54.396
and thing. And you see me, they can't do us anything, right?
00:15:55.122 --> 00:16:00.088
And he must say, yo, what do you do? Take your gun, try and shoot me.
00:16:00.767 --> 00:16:01.864
Try and shoot me with the gun.
00:16:02.722 --> 00:16:07.132
And he say, all right, you shoot. I'm going to try to shoot.
00:16:07.376 --> 00:16:11.517
No, no, come on. No, you know, no projectile not leak out. So I must say,
00:16:11.517 --> 00:16:17.307
ah, you know, it detects organics and, you know, it, you know,
00:16:17.307 --> 00:16:21.085
it can harm you. So you can be killed. You know, nothing can hurt you.
00:16:21.863 --> 00:16:26.407
Yeah. You know, that's the starting of any horror movie here.
00:16:26.407 --> 00:16:29.750
You know what I'm saying? All right. So.
00:16:31.653 --> 00:16:37.719
Of course, you know, they be enjoy themselves, you know, and they find two prostitutes, right?
00:16:37.939 --> 00:16:44.767
And thing, you know, of course, Peter's like, yo, you know, me hear something
00:16:44.767 --> 00:16:48.841
else I do. It's like, you know, if they're really ready for jumping to that, you know.
00:16:49.623 --> 00:16:54.182
If you hear them a rob one bank and thing, you know, everybody is like,
00:16:54.536 --> 00:16:57.316
you know, because of androids and stuff, I'm gonna play them roles same way
00:16:57.502 --> 00:16:59.673
and he's he's saying well you know,
00:17:00.172 --> 00:17:04.187
what we know when I want John the one there go go go try and stop the robbery
00:17:04.567 --> 00:17:05.914
or join the robbery or something,
00:17:06.727 --> 00:17:10.846
and John is like yo we're a concern yourself about that we have two girls,
00:17:11.983 --> 00:17:16.558
as essentially what he said yo we have two girls so yo follow the brother we are deal with,
00:17:17.899 --> 00:17:22.847
and say all right all right now i didn't go and spend the night with it with
00:17:22.847 --> 00:17:31.955
one girl about thing now what is very curious about what happens in that scene zing is to me was that,
00:17:32.854 --> 00:17:37.307
the android that
was in the bed with him was,
00:17:38.529 --> 00:17:43.487
clearly showing some signs of malfunctioning but of course because my injury
00:17:43.487 --> 00:17:47.417
himself in the notice you see me i say you know yeah enjoy yourself you don't
00:17:47.417 --> 00:17:48.967
notice these things right,
00:17:49.750 --> 00:17:54.955
i'm looking at you who might know what i'm talking about right anyways so the.
00:17:56.827 --> 00:18:01.757
The very next day you know um you might tell him bridging boat it and you know
00:18:01.757 --> 00:18:09.827
say yo you know i'm saying everything go down really really and thing and you know yeah man so um,
00:18:11.014 --> 00:18:15.250
At the same time, I have to mention, at the same time, that night,
00:18:15.772 --> 00:18:23.034
while they were doing their do, the amusement park technicians and the people
00:18:23.034 --> 00:18:25.093
who are running the park and things, right?
00:18:25.976 --> 00:18:32.054
They have been basically, from whatever day's activities, they go in and they
00:18:32.054 --> 00:18:35.954
do maintenance, you know, at a certain time and the night and things.
00:18:35.954 --> 00:18:41.905
So, you know, they come into the town of Westworld and you see them,
00:18:42.381 --> 00:18:47.872
you know, going through, taking up all of the androids that have been, you know,
00:18:48.668 --> 00:18:51.354
I guess, you know, taken out during
00:18:51.354 --> 00:18:54.334
the day, you know, through violence or whatever and thing, you know.
00:18:54.850 --> 00:19:03.574
And they take them to the location where they basically do maintenance repairs
00:19:03.574 --> 00:19:07.139
and checks and stuff and what is particular about what is happening is that.
00:19:08.185 --> 00:19:13.527
The lead technician basically is like asking some questions and they're like
00:19:13.748 --> 00:19:18.584
scratching them head like yo something will go on because where I noticed some
00:19:18.584 --> 00:19:21.614
trends over a couple of things.
00:19:21.614 --> 00:19:25.924
They found it parted open, everything they go on all right. And would they expect
00:19:25.924 --> 00:19:30.536
certain bugs? You know, like when you release a software into production.
00:19:31.209 --> 00:19:35.284
Am I talking to software engineers here? Or am I talking to regular people?
00:19:35.284 --> 00:19:41.920
Anyways, most people know when you put out something, it's never totally 100%.
00:19:42.605 --> 00:19:47.064
You have one and two little bugs that might pop up and cause issues you know
00:19:47.064 --> 00:19:54.354
i'm saying what they're saying here is that these issues seem to be unrelated
00:19:54.354 --> 00:19:56.068
to what they have done and they're like,
00:19:57.014 --> 00:20:03.534
you know it's almost like they're unable to explain or find a root cause for
00:20:03.534 --> 00:20:05.962
the issues so because of that now,
00:20:06.688 --> 00:20:12.174
they you know i'm saying you know he may raise the concern and thing with apparently
00:20:12.174 --> 00:20:15.703
these boards of other guys so basically the man's like you know.
00:20:16.928 --> 00:20:23.003
Yeah you know we expect these things to happen so i don't see it as a big issue
00:20:23.003 --> 00:20:25.084
i don't see it as anything and,
00:20:25.722 --> 00:20:30.213
you know and we don't think we need for close down the the park for any reason
00:20:30.213 --> 00:20:34.423
right now because we are doing well right and we was identifying the things
00:20:34.423 --> 00:20:39.219
and i would know so we can continue for make it go on you know and thing,
00:20:39.930 --> 00:20:41.607
uh of course you know that,
00:20:42.473 --> 00:20:49.025
could be you know very bad last words right because the next morning.
00:20:50.824 --> 00:20:56.174
John and Peter, they're in the thing there, in the saloon. And again,
00:20:56.174 --> 00:20:58.793
the gunslinger appears.
00:20:59.494 --> 00:21:09.494
And of course, oh, this is after they would have gotten up in the morning and
00:21:09.494 --> 00:21:11.437
getting themselves ready again for the road.
00:21:12.206 --> 00:21:18.319
The gunslinger comes to John, right? And basically stick up John, right?
00:21:18.615 --> 00:21:26.410
And Peter comes along and he hears the gunslinger in there with Peter, with Jan.
00:21:26.903 --> 00:21:33.901
And basically, he busts in the door and he takes out the gunslinger.
00:21:34.145 --> 00:21:36.989
He shoots the gunslinger. The gunslinger flies through the window,
00:21:37.332 --> 00:21:39.751
drops a gun, right? Dead.
00:21:40.802 --> 00:21:44.364
So, he ends up going to jail for that, right?
00:21:44.364 --> 00:21:47.644
The sheriff comes and takes him to jail and stuff and whatever.
00:21:47.644 --> 00:21:52.484
And, you know, John had tried to talk to the sheriff and I said,
00:21:52.484 --> 00:21:56.874
yo, you know, he was in self-defense and re-re-re, you know,
00:21:56.874 --> 00:21:58.284
and they tried to plead him case.
00:21:58.284 --> 00:22:00.876
And they said, well, you have to go wait for the judge because,
00:22:01.422 --> 00:22:03.814
you see me, I said, re-re-re, you know, them kind of things.
00:22:03.814 --> 00:22:06.954
They was like, you have to wait for the judge, you know, because I didn't release
00:22:06.954 --> 00:22:10.507
you for nothing and thing. And the judge didn't even come today.
00:22:11.157 --> 00:22:14.129
The man basically said, yo, the judge didn't come today. So,
00:22:14.965 --> 00:22:19.814
you have to go waiting at that jail until, you know, whenever the judge reaches,
00:22:19.814 --> 00:22:22.445
you see what I'm saying, which is probably tomorrow, you see what I'm saying.
00:22:23.175 --> 00:22:29.624
So, of course, you know, no one wants to spend their vacation in a fake jail,
00:22:29.624 --> 00:22:31.534
even so, you know what I'm saying, you don't really want to have it,
00:22:32.014 --> 00:22:33.946
because that's no fun, really, you know what I'm saying.
00:22:35.090 -->
00:22:38.398
And it's more fun to break out your bridging, so...
00:22:39.650 --> 00:22:48.241
John ends up goes and set up this rules so that he can break Peter out of jail.
00:22:48.462 --> 00:22:53.987
You know, send one of the girls in from the saloon in to the sheriff's office
00:22:53.987 --> 00:22:58.781
with a, you know, with something for Peter to use.
00:22:59.550 --> 00:23:04.227
And she plays her role. She takes it into him and also, you know,
00:23:04.227 --> 00:23:08.460
winks him off, you know, about what is supposed to be there and stuff. And.
00:23:13.586 --> 00:23:19.916
Before we try to separate what's actually happening from what's just inside
00:23:19.916 --> 00:23:25.901
our heads, we're going to take a quick breather to step back into reality.
00:23:26.481 --> 00:23:30.671
Don't let your mind play tricks on you while we're gone.
00:23:31.695 --> 00:23:36.796
When we return, we're unpacking the exact moment the ground gets pulled out
00:23:36.796 --> 00:23:38.411
from under the audience.
00:23:39.074 --> 00:23:42.830
You're listening to Cold Flicks, and we'll be right back.

00:25:34.141 --> 00:25:38.532
all them desert era like you know near some some mountains and stuff right so in the.
00:25:40.448 --> 00:25:42.050
End they might talk about the
00:25:42.050 --> 00:25:45.680
whole thing gotta be like yeah you know it's so crazy you know whatever,
00:25:47.244 --> 00:25:51.280
because the adrenaline rush you know you know it go as a human being your adrenaline
00:25:51.280 --> 00:25:56.457
rush off these things will hit you and you'll be like yeah you know this is crazy you know,
00:25:58.238 --> 00:26:04.627
What happens now is that John Dede and one rattlesnake, you know,
00:26:04.627 --> 00:26:08.297
come up and thing and, you know, Peter say, yo, careful, you know,
00:26:08.297 --> 00:26:12.268
mine, it bite and thing. And I was like, yo, remember say, we're safe, man, and thing.
00:26:12.883 --> 00:26:16.529
Well, look, the rattlesnake come and bite John.
00:26:17.679 --> 00:26:21.807
Remember say, it bite him. And even the technicians in the room,
00:26:21.807 --> 00:26:25.422
because they're monitoring, you know, certain activities, right?
00:26:26.072 --> 00:26:30.347
Using cctv as well as their monitoring vitals and all of these things so when
00:26:30.347 --> 00:26:35.206
mc say the rattlesnake bite gentlemen say rattlesnake should not have bite the
00:26:35.206 --> 00:26:36.907
the guests you know and thing,
00:26:37.487 --> 00:26:41.257
what's going on and thing we need to go and send somebody to pick that up now
00:26:41.257 --> 00:26:46.887
and check but when maintenance time come later on we'll go and we'll maintain,
00:26:48.167 --> 00:26:54.237
the the um the androids and stuff that's the plan that they have so it then
00:26:54.237 --> 00:26:58.317
realized say you know that's the technicians they are realizing say that.
00:27:00.117 --> 00:27:03.652
The recent breakdowns and systematic feel of them,
00:27:04.430 --> 00:27:11.867
seem to be it would have earlier on being constrained to roman world and medieval
00:27:11.867 --> 00:27:16.832
world but now it has entered the Westworld, for some reason, right?
00:27:17.939 --> 00:27:23.677
So, another thing what happened out of the ordinary was now in medieval world,
00:27:23.677 --> 00:27:32.587
one guy where, you know, seemed to be enjoying himself with all of the female, you know, type thing.
00:27:32.587 --> 00:27:40.649
He finds a, you know, a wench, right? And him, a try for seduce her, and she refused him.
00:27:41.445 --> 00:27:45.032
Now remember, say, you know, she's supposed to be there for his pleasure, So...
00:27:46.659 --> 00:27:50.370
And I'm using words that are not even in this film, but in the series.
00:27:50.370 --> 00:27:55.610
So let me know if you want me to do a deep dive on the Westworld TV series.
00:27:55.610 --> 00:27:59.413
But yeah, that's one of the lines that they use, you know, there for their pleasure.
00:27:59.750 --> 00:28:03.772
But they're basically saying, you know, she should have been,
00:28:04.410 --> 00:28:07.450
you know, giving him what he wants, not refusing him.
00:28:07.750 --> 00:28:10.070
You know what I'm saying? All right. You know, it's not like Aliko,
00:28:10.070 --> 00:28:14.690
you know, that old time thing where the woman would have refused.
00:28:14.690 --> 00:28:17.510
And then the man them would have forced themselves upon them and that kind of
00:28:17.510 --> 00:28:24.675
thing was like she definitely was like no not into it and storms out of the place,
00:28:25.331 --> 00:28:29.960
you know even the guest was confused like yo many things i mean could i get
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:35.150
any girl over why you know as ugly as maybe because i get any girl over why
00:28:35.150 --> 00:28:38.171
that the vibe they get from him now.
00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:46.830
Right so many of you world that happens in and the black knight challenges the
00:28:46.830 --> 00:28:49.874
cm guests you know i'm saying and things so,
00:28:50.605 --> 00:28:54.490
them say all right you know we have to set up this dual i want to make sure
00:28:54.490 --> 00:28:59.760
i say it's safe so you know because we have been upgrading these,
00:29:00.503 --> 00:29:05.560
androids you know to be able to do certain things we have to make some little
00:29:05.560 --> 00:29:14.129
tweaks in order to make it safe right for the guests when him fight this black knight yeah.
00:29:15.790 --> 00:29:23.816
So of course that doesn't work out well and because of you know it not working out well,
00:29:25.345 --> 00:29:32.073
the black knight end up killing the guests and run him through with knife with a sword sorry,
00:29:33.239 --> 00:29:40.240
so of course the resort supervisors are like we need to find a way to regain
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:44.494
control something will go out of line at the same time,
00:29:45.995 --> 00:29:49.406
peter and john they end up going
00:29:49.406 --> 00:29:58.333
back into town and they meet up on the gunslinger yeah the gunslinger bro,
00:29:59.332 --> 00:30:03.541
now the gunslinger you know i'm saying him,
00:30:04.597 --> 00:30:09.906
you know i'm saying oh i need to mention something before so we look back a
00:30:09.906 --> 00:30:14.175
little bit all right so the night before right.
00:30:15.398 --> 00:30:22.014
This happens Peter and Blaine would have end up back in the town and they went
00:30:22.165 --> 00:30:23.691
to the saloon and thing and,
00:30:24.441 --> 00:30:28.626
you know, in a saloon one will be a fighter going, the android them a fight
00:30:28.626 --> 00:30:31.756
one another and thing and a, you know you know, like a tussle,
00:30:31.756 --> 00:30:34.931
like one of them bar room tussles and thing and you know,
00:30:35.955 --> 00:30:40.826
John and Peter, them they're there and them are basically joining because,
00:30:40.826 --> 00:30:43.046
you know what I'm saying, why not, you know they're not playing a card,
00:30:43.046 --> 00:30:46.377
you know, and then the card game broke up because one,
00:30:47.216 --> 00:30:50.316
man dropped right in the middle of the table you know what I'm saying so they
00:30:50.316 --> 00:30:54.908
start fighting you know what I'm saying the buckle break against man skull and all of that,
00:30:56.048 --> 00:31:01.876
so Peter and John them that go on good you know them backlit out drunk as they
00:31:01.876 --> 00:31:07.652
were right and so in the morning now back to
where I was,
00:31:08.382 --> 00:31:11.690
they meet up on the gunslinger in town,
00:31:12.617 --> 00:31:16.983
yeah and the gunslinger of course challenges them to draw,
00:31:18.097 --> 00:31:25.506
and this time John is like let me handle this you know what I'm saying I'm not
00:31:25.506 --> 00:31:29.306
going to get to play I should try to introduce Peter.
00:31:30.829 --> 00:31:36.455
So John is like alright I'm ready for draw and I'm drawing and I'm fire and,
00:31:37.208 --> 00:31:39.472
the gunslinger fires back,
00:31:40.488 --> 00:31:46.346
hitting him dead in the solar plexus right if you know what i mean is the in
00:31:46.346 --> 00:31:47.381
the chassis area that's all,
00:31:48.731 --> 00:31:52.865
Boom. Drop Flattergrung. Yeah.
00:31:53.937 --> 00:31:59.025
John is dead. Peter is like dumbfounded because,
00:31:59.507 --> 00:32:06.444
up to this point, he was certain that nothing could go wrong because you basically
00:32:06.862 --> 00:32:11.581
see where, you know, things were going their way and they were safe.
00:32:12.886 --> 00:32:18.990
Even the resort supervisors are starting now to be like, Yo we need to regain
00:32:18.990 --> 00:32:26.497
control Because the black knight Kill I guess And now the gunslinger Is after,
00:32:27.194 --> 00:32:28.854
Peter Right.
00:32:30.130 --> 00:32:35.650
Peter get the hell out of that You know what I'm saying Peter is You know what
00:32:35.650 --> 00:32:39.285
I'm saying Running you know what I'm saying Out,
00:32:40.357 --> 00:32:46.552
Now we see in the other World that is Roman world where,
00:32:47.642 --> 00:32:52.930
the androids start to attack those guests too right and i didn't mention this
00:32:52.930 --> 00:32:57.820
earlier but a fair amount of women love to go to roman world because you know
00:32:57.820 --> 00:33:00.277
in a roman world the androids them,
00:33:00.982 --> 00:33:05.260
you know buff and them go naked you know i'm saying and some of those females
00:33:05.260 --> 00:33:09.406
them like those kind of things sad to say that they,
00:33:10.120 --> 00:33:15.699
you know they turn on them and start kill them right yeah,
00:33:16.738 --> 00:33:20.935
and in medieval world as i mentioned the black knight they killed the guests
00:33:21.051 --> 00:33:27.102
and now peter and john john dead and peter is on the run.
00:33:28.285 --> 00:33:32.893
So, pursued by the android. Now, as I mentioned, there was some upgrades.
00:33:32.893 --> 00:33:34.299
And I didn't mention what they were, right?
00:33:34.537 --> 00:33:40.763
So, the upgrades to the gunslinger was to give him infrared sights.
00:33:40.763 --> 00:33:45.311
So, him could actually follow Peter.
00:33:46.213 --> 00:33:49.963
You know, trace him. Track him down. It's like a hunter killer.
00:33:50.143 --> 00:33:54.363
You know, like Terminator hunter killer. Yeah, man. Him have, you know.
00:33:55.208 --> 00:33:59.383
And him have him in his sights. There's nowhere that Peter run that him could
00:33:59.383 --> 00:34:01.564
hide from the Gunslinger.
00:34:02.278 --> 00:34:04.339
Literally be nowhere.
00:34:06.005 --> 00:34:10.649
Peter pass dead people all over the place, right? Dead guests.
00:34:11.189 --> 00:34:16.261
Damaged androids, right? He may even run into one technician who,
00:34:16.673 --> 00:34:19.353
in a panic, is like, yo, don't kill me, don't kill me, kind of thing.
00:34:19.353 --> 00:34:21.799
You know, I want to the androids them.
00:34:22.176 --> 00:34:26.559
And him say to him, say, are the Gunslinger after you? Why?
00:34:26.791 --> 00:34:33.272
Your goose cook right then peter's like no way me not accept that reality there
00:34:33.417 --> 00:34:36.935
me not dead in here so i didn't believe,
00:34:37.959 --> 00:34:43.398
then the gun singer catches up to where the technician is and takes him out right,
00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:53.913
yeah no peter i don't know how him find him way but he find him way to the underground
00:34:54.353 --> 00:34:57.158
control complex. That is where the computer technicians am there.
00:34:57.738 --> 00:35:02.443
And when him go, because while the technicians were trying to figure out how
00:35:02.443 --> 00:35:06.180
to shut down and all of these things, they realized that them get locked in.
00:35:06.980 --> 00:35:10.788
Because apparently they have automated doors that lock them in.
00:35:11.351 --> 00:35:13.613
I don't know why you would construct something like that. Even me,
00:35:13.613 --> 00:35:18.166
me not put something where me can't get out of. You know what I'm saying?
00:35:18.805 --> 00:35:24.296
When, you know, I need to get out safely. Like, that was dumb. But anyways...
00:35:25.759 --> 00:35:31.333
They end up getting locked in. No oxygen in the room. Everything they shut down.
00:35:31.333 --> 00:35:34.130
Because they shut down. And they turn it on back.
00:35:34.740 --> 00:35:39.697
And they end up asphyxiating in the room. They suffocate.
00:35:40.865 --> 00:35:45.429
So the gunslinger start coming underground with him. And,
00:35:47.502 --> 00:35:48.053
Peter.
00:35:50.273 --> 00:35:55.413
Finds himself in one of the places where they repair the androids.
00:35:55.413 --> 00:36:00.513
And stuff and he remembers what the technician said to him you know,
00:36:00.513 --> 00:36:04.277
him said that you know, the only thing we can take out the.
00:36:05.399 --> 00:36:12.169
Gunslinger is to burn out the eyes you know so that they can't you know and
00:36:12.169 --> 00:36:17.021
can't really see but that now go stop him because him still can.
00:36:18.079 --> 00:36:23.256
You know move and him still can you know kill you right so,
00:36:24.043 --> 00:36:30.799
he finds some acid and he plays dead like one of the androids then upon the
00:36:30.799 --> 00:36:36.449
table But of course, the gunslinger come in and he find him.
00:36:36.449 --> 00:36:41.319
But Peter is able to throw the acid in the gunslinger's face before he's able
00:36:41.319 --> 00:36:43.205
to do anything to
him. You know what I'm saying?
00:36:43.693 --> 00:36:47.970
And he run out back up to the surface at Medieval World, right?
00:36:48.907 --> 00:36:56.499
So, in the area, he see all of the carnage in the Medieval World and the gunslinger
00:36:56.499 --> 00:37:01.130
that come. Because when guns gonna move, you can literally hear him steps.
00:37:01.443 --> 00:37:02.314
You know what I'm saying?
00:37:02.999 --> 00:37:05.164
Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
00:37:06.122 --> 00:37:10.319
Which is, you know, quite interesting the way how they move that into the story.
00:37:10.319 --> 00:37:12.047
You know what I'm saying? I'm telling you.
00:37:12.744 --> 00:37:19.039
So, here it is that, you know, Peter is like, yo, I'm dead now,
00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:20.643
basically. You know what I'm saying?
00:37:21.326 --> 00:37:27.649
But because of the room the way how the room is lit and it's lit using some
00:37:27.649 --> 00:37:35.619
torches the torches kind of obscure the vision of the gun stinger because it would have burnt.
00:37:37.319 --> 00:37:43.759
The the scanners right so it can't differentiate between human and thing there
00:37:43.759 --> 00:37:48.405
so it was a little bit confused you know in finding him,
00:37:50.024 --> 00:37:55.144
But Peter is going to make a sound. And, you know, the gunslinger realized.
00:37:55.144 --> 00:38:01.656
But he may be able to run and, you know, again, you know, find some way out of that place.
00:38:03.107 --> 00:38:10.043
Right? He threw up the fire from the gunslinger, which burns him.
00:38:11.050 --> 00:38:14.695
Right? And he leave it to burn. now,
00:38:15.461 --> 00:38:22.604
him come out of the castle when him hear the you know the sound of a woman that
00:38:22.604 --> 00:38:29.713
sound like she you know desperation she has to help help help so him go down to the dungeon,
00:38:30.685 --> 00:38:38.044
right and him see this woman apparently tied up you know um chained up in the
00:38:38.044 --> 00:38:41.503
dungeon and him unchain her,
00:38:42.261 --> 00:38:49.204
carry her out and he might go give her water and she's like no no no water but
00:38:49.204 --> 00:38:54.734
him give her water anyways and she short circuits and that's when he realized
00:38:54.925 --> 00:38:57.195
this woman is not a woman she's an android.
00:38:59.893 --> 00:39:04.235
Now on his way out going back up the steps to come out of the dungeon,
00:39:05.177 --> 00:39:10.034
him turn for look back you know him still in a disbelief that this was an android
00:39:10.034 --> 00:39:16.259
and turn back and look back and see the woman and then when he turns around it is the gunslinger,
00:39:17.395 --> 00:39:22.714
you know with his hand almost in his face he can stretch out his hand so you know i'm saying,
00:39:24.218 --> 00:39:24.994
but he stretched,
00:39:26.529 --> 00:39:30.484
out his hand you see what I'm saying that's what I mean he stretched out his
00:39:30.484 --> 00:39:38.977
hand and his hand barely would have
touched Peter in the face and he turned over over the,
00:39:39.925 --> 00:39:43.326
the stairs because there's no railing and falls,
00:39:44.730 --> 00:39:49.340
And it, you know, you can say it totally burnt out in, you know,
00:39:49.340 --> 00:39:51.078
ashes around it and all of that.
00:39:52.205 --> 00:39:57.050
Yeah. Now, of course, Peter is in shock.
00:39:57.774 --> 00:40:02.243
And, you know, come to the realization is almost like, you know,
00:40:02.615 --> 00:40:05.990
if him never lucky a while ago, him would have dead.
00:40:08.664 --> 00:40:12.270
And we hear the,
00:40:13.550 --> 00:40:20.190
marketing slogan of the CM Delos guy from the opening scene saying that,
00:40:20.190 --> 00:40:23.687
boy, we have a vacation for you. And it repeats. It's on repeat.
00:40:23.984 --> 00:40:30.207
Boy, we have a vacation for you. Boy, we've had a vacation for you. Yeah.
00:40:31.133 --> 00:40:34.198
And that's it. That's the end of the film.
00:40:35.759 --> 00:40:44.181
Yeah i mean if you notice these films just leave me like thinking like whoa what,
00:40:45.279 --> 00:40:54.062
what is going on you know i'm saying and this is you know more realistic because it's it's more it's,
00:40:54.732 --> 00:41:01.240
it's a world that has been designed in this era right it's not like a virtual
00:41:01.240 --> 00:41:03.834
reality where you know say all right at least,
00:41:04.599 --> 00:41:09.820
things aren't too bad you know i'm saying because if you get out of the virtual
00:41:09.820 --> 00:41:18.013
reality you know you should be fine but this is reality and these were androids that were programmed,
00:41:18.908 --> 00:41:22.879
to not affect human beings but then,
00:41:23.776 --> 00:41:29.388
somehow some way some bug got in the system some issue came up,
00:41:29.834 --> 00:41:35.257
something happened to them that caused them to go rogue.
00:41:47.944 --> 00:41:53.228
Westworld is deliberately spare with explanations.
00:41:54.198 --> 00:42:00.995
It shows a high-tech resort collapsing, but leaves the why and what comes next.
00:42:02.501 --> 00:42:09.719
Mostly unresolved. And the film's power comes from that ambiguity,
00:42:10.142 --> 00:42:15.360
which has fueled several enduring theories about the malfunction.
00:42:16.284 --> 00:42:20.184
The park's control systems and the fate of Delos itself.
00:42:21.686 --> 00:42:27.252
These are my theories and unresolved mysteries and plot points.
00:42:27.956 --> 00:42:34.950
So the first thing I could think of is what causes the robots to go amok?
00:42:36.083 --> 00:42:40.384
The film never gives a clear technical reason for the breakdown.
00:42:41.114 --> 00:42:45.306
The only thing is that something is spreading through the systems like a virus,
00:42:45.764 --> 00:42:49.904
right and one theory is that it is.
00:42:51.724 --> 00:42:59.735
A simple cascade failure right if you understand that terminology so what happens is that,
00:43:01.303 --> 00:43:08.294
something breaks at one point is like you have a pipe system right and along
00:43:08.294 --> 00:43:11.092
that system you have different places where
00:43:11.527 --> 00:43:16.536
the pipe diverges, you know, different connecting pipes and all of that. So.
00:43:18.345 --> 00:43:25.415
One point where the water stopped running or start leaking from means that the
00:43:25.415 --> 00:43:29.060
other pipes will only get a little bit of water at a time.
00:43:29.825 --> 00:43:35.550
And if another one breaks somewhere down the line, it continues to be that way, right?
00:43:36.260 --> 00:43:44.573
It could also be the reverse, where you have a high-pressure water system that's run through the system.
00:43:44.881 --> 00:43:48.529
And you know i'm saying it bursts,
00:43:48.999 --> 00:43:53.898
and cause the leak and because of water force is continuously strong,
00:43:54.885 --> 00:44:00.385
it it breaks other points so it starts to cascade it starts to you know break
00:44:00.385 --> 00:44:05.131
down pieces by pieces so that's essentially what it is if you don't didn't understand
00:44:05.485 --> 00:44:08.289
Sorry to go technical on you guys.
00:44:08.916 --> 00:44:13.838
So the robots, then become very complex, right?
00:44:14.332 --> 00:44:23.284
And the small little issues, as I mentioned before, those cause issues that,
00:44:24.247 --> 00:44:27.839
compound in some very unpredictable ways, right?
00:44:28.291 --> 00:44:35.372
And these eventually override the safety protocols that have been added in.
00:44:35.715 --> 00:44:44.132
And for persons who are afraid with AI, that's like guardrails that AI works through, right?
00:44:46.090 --> 00:44:51.850
A more thematic theory, though, is that the malfunction is symbolic, yeah?
00:44:52.568 --> 00:44:59.007
And it's rather more than strictly logical.
00:44:59.332 --> 00:45:05.959
It's the park's premise where humans are acting on violence without consequences.
00:45:06.366 --> 00:45:13.200
And so it inevitably comes to this point where it corrupts the machines, right?
00:45:13.200 --> 00:45:23.042
Because they have been forced to enact these atrocities because of what has been suffered to them.
00:45:24.755 --> 00:45:30.480
In that way, we can look at it if we say, boy, the virus is less about a code
00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:36.299
error, but a moral rot that has been built into the system.
00:45:36.634 --> 00:45:43.200
Right because you know they are allowing the guests to be able to do all and
00:45:43.200 --> 00:45:49.106
anything they want to do with these androids you know with these robots,
00:45:50.214 --> 00:45:57.956
how do the guns stop being safe now there's a major plot hole right because
00:45:58.153 --> 00:46:02.937
the gunslinger start for be able to kill guests Right,
00:46:03.984 --> 00:46:09.670
Even though the guns were supposed to be Unable to fire at humans So it's not
00:46:09.670 --> 00:46:12.406
necessarily because The gunslinger,
00:46:13.204 --> 00:46:20.233
You know might be programmed not to
kill humans Right Or when it fires it must miss on purpose But,
00:46:21.177 --> 00:46:26.270
You know what I'm saying It's supposed to be that the gun itself The weapon
00:46:26.270 --> 00:46:34.073
itself Should be inert when trying to To fire at a human being So one theory is that,
00:46:35.294 --> 00:46:42.766
the safety system that depends on the sensors, they also fail in this malfunction,
00:46:43.490 --> 00:46:48.502
as it spreads through the robots and so the weapons then become fully lethal.
00:46:49.853 --> 00:46:53.913
So, of course, you might be wondering, why the hell would you make a lethal
00:46:53.913 --> 00:46:56.300
weapon in the first place?
00:46:57.188 --> 00:47:01.363
Because if you can control these things, right, to that point,
00:47:01.363 --> 00:47:05.838
why would you even need to make them lethal in the first place?
00:47:06.389 --> 00:47:11.138
Right? Yeah, probably you want it to have a projectile, right?
00:47:11.527 --> 00:47:18.143
You know, to be able to do certain things. But why would you make the projectile lethal? Right?
00:47:18.788 --> 00:47:25.591
Why you don't find some way to slow down the cartridge or whatever it is that fires?
00:47:26.241 --> 00:47:31.053
You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Another theory is that the gunslinger is using
00:47:31.053 --> 00:47:32.992
different weapons. Right?
00:47:33.697 --> 00:47:39.971
And it's possible that, you know, in the whole brawling that happened the night before.
00:47:40.711 --> 00:47:45.693
Right? Weapons got switched around. Right? The humans would have been given
00:47:45.693 --> 00:47:53.813
lethal weapons and the machines were given weapons that were inert and so some
00:47:53.813 --> 00:47:55.656
switching around happened, right?
00:47:56.321 --> 00:48:02.193
And possibly from the maintenance here as our control room and this would have
00:48:02.193 --> 00:48:05.867
bypassed original Get safety design, right?
00:48:06.528 --> 00:48:16.263
So the film I hint that the way we might operate right rather than the way how
00:48:16.263 --> 00:48:20.829
the guests be able to accommodate yeah.
00:48:22.150 --> 00:48:27.694
So another question is, why don't medieval world and Roman world have the same safeguards?
00:48:28.383 --> 00:48:33.932
So the movie explicitly notes that swords, daggers, and even fights,
00:48:34.293 --> 00:48:36.254
fists could harm guests, right?
00:48:37.340 --> 00:48:41.879
Yet no explanation is given to how those risks are managed, right?
00:48:42.652 --> 00:48:48.428
So one of the theories that Delos relies on some behavioral scripting, right?
00:48:48.803 --> 00:48:54.313
The robots that they are in those worlds they are programmed to pull blows,
00:48:54.986 --> 00:49:01.672
break weapons or avoid lethal strikes rather than using hard technical locks like the guns.
00:49:03.601 --> 00:49:10.584
Now, an even darker theory is that guest safety is always an illusion.
00:49:12.197 --> 00:49:16.940
And the park accepts some level of injury as part of the experience.
00:49:17.730 --> 00:49:25.583
And the gun sensors are just one layer of fragile system.
00:49:26.347 --> 00:49:35.676
System that ultimately it feels everywhere once the core control network get compromised.
00:49:36.929 --> 00:49:42.070
And that's certainly something to think of because yeah if you wonder why for
00:49:42.070 --> 00:49:46.809
true you know because you know for a while i was like why is it that the swords
00:49:47.099 --> 00:49:50.559
are real swords why are the daggers real you know i'm saying,
00:49:51.300 --> 00:49:55.100
let's take out the fist out of it probably you know your fist yeah you don't
00:49:55.100 --> 00:49:59.060
want to be able to feel it so you can be able to react even as a human being
00:49:59.060 --> 00:50:03.165
you want to be able to react to being punched you punch back you know i'm saying
00:50:03.473 --> 00:50:06.363
right and of course they're robots so them,
00:50:07.030 --> 00:50:11.550
them definitely would have to be programmed to pull punches still but my point
00:50:11.550 --> 00:50:17.780
is that you don't want to get a punch out of them you know either way so why
00:50:17.780 --> 00:50:21.035
weren't these really managed You know what I'm saying?
00:50:21.296 --> 00:50:28.870
Why didn't these safeguards apply, right? Perhaps somebody along the line,
00:50:28.870 --> 00:50:35.186
the boardroom, they never thought that, hey, let me go and see how this thing go.
00:50:35.773 --> 00:50:40.965
Let me see what is happening in my own park.
00:50:42.091 --> 00:50:43.438
That's what I think happened.
00:50:45.118 --> 00:50:48.596
Another question is how does the Gunsinger keep functioning?
00:50:49.328 --> 00:50:57.657
So of course the film kind of hint that the facts say that They run on batteries, right?
00:50:58.092 --> 00:51:03.368
So even when you shut down the main control Them still have some reserve power
00:51:03.368 --> 00:51:06.008
emergency power via batteries, right?
00:51:06.536 --> 00:51:13.949
So the Gunsinger survived the damage that should have disabled him and And he keep firing, right?
00:51:14.309 --> 00:51:17.241
And even, you know, without reloading.
00:51:18.001 --> 00:51:24.298
And that basically has a boy that, you know, somehow, you know,
00:51:24.298 --> 00:51:29.129
it's able to do all of the different things. It is learning, right?
00:51:29.280 --> 00:51:33.593
So even though it was made for Westworld, right?
00:51:34.303 --> 00:51:40.458
It basically understands everything about the maintenance tunnel them and,
00:51:41.545 --> 00:51:47.508
the repair stations you know possibly and that allow him to be able to self
00:51:47.508 --> 00:51:55.227
repair or be remotely patched in you know what I'm saying while chasing him target basically.
00:51:56.507 --> 00:52:02.037
So another theory is that he represents a special class of robots.
00:52:02.478 --> 00:52:06.884
High durability enforcer with redundant systems, right?
00:52:07.255 -->
00:52:14.707
And extended power reserves. So he's designed to handle extreme scenarios,
00:52:14.707 --> 00:52:19.893
right? Especially if something happens in the park, right? Like a riot or something like that.
00:52:20.143 --> 00:52:25.582
And therefore, he may be able to operate longer than ordinary.
00:52:26.308 --> 00:52:32.537
Even if other units might fail under those circumstances so a big question is
00:52:32.537 --> 00:52:35.680
what happens to delos after the film ends,
00:52:36.185 --> 00:52:41.566
car the film end with peter alone amid the wreckage right and,
00:52:42.274 --> 00:52:48.067
we're not seeing a rescue team no corporate response right no kind of cleanup is shown,
00:52:48.958 --> 00:52:57.225
so one theory is that the entire delos complex is effectively lost right the malfunction has killed,
00:52:57.921 --> 00:53:02.803
the guests and the staff right most of the guests and the staff and the company,
00:53:03.459 --> 00:53:09.167
will eventually corporate will come in and you know basically say we're going
00:53:09.167 --> 00:53:10.847
to bury this disaster and,
00:53:11.755 --> 00:53:16.067
you know so we can avoid liability so basically you know i'm saying we just
00:53:16.067 --> 00:53:20.451
closed down for no reason not all to the public but the real reason is that,
00:53:20.967 --> 00:53:23.626
all of them things they go on you know what I'm saying.
00:53:25.089 --> 00:53:33.209
More expansive theory often used to connect the film to a later sequel now you
00:53:33.209 --> 00:53:36.249
know like the ones that have been hinting at the TV series,
00:53:36.807 --> 00:53:40.539
is that Delos it survives as a brand,
00:53:41.219 --> 00:53:46.049
and it continues to refine the technology you know because they must say boy
00:53:46.049 --> 00:53:49.349
we don't want to lose the park you see me and say we don't think about it you
00:53:49.349 --> 00:53:52.769
know I'm saying you know you're in a business you're trying to make money and
00:53:52.769 --> 00:53:55.098
not lose money, although you lose money, there's a big you know
00:53:55.539 --> 00:53:58.099
what I'm saying, you have to kind of close for a while and thing,
00:53:58.099 --> 00:54:01.043
but you have to say boy we could see if we can come back greater,
00:54:01.785 --> 00:54:07.319
right, many companies you know, have done that, right and them just treat the
00:54:07.319 --> 00:54:14.039
1973 incident as a contained prototype failure right,
00:54:14.707 --> 00:54:19.961
another way then we can look at the film saying that it is a prologue basically
00:54:20.223 --> 00:54:25.662
to what is going to go on in that series and stuff.
00:54:25.993 --> 00:54:30.386
Hint, hint. Again, may I give you some hints there? Now, the.
00:54:31.661 --> 00:54:38.912
Question or plot point I want to address is the control room and the airtight problem.
00:54:40.160 --> 00:54:44.195
You see me? I was like why would you do such a thing?
00:54:44.833 --> 00:54:49.491
Right? That's
like a goof. You know what I'm saying? That highlights said the
00:54:49.491 --> 00:54:53.123
whole control room should be airtight. For what reason?
00:54:53.523 --> 00:54:57.177
Right? Why should it be fully isolated? Right?
00:54:58.063 --> 00:55:05.401
You know and then the theory is that The film simplifies the architecture for drama.
00:55:05.401 --> 00:55:11.981
So basically, you know, they must say why the control center is like this sealed brain.
00:55:11.981 --> 00:55:16.421
You know what I'm saying? It doesn't, it has its own life support.
00:55:16.421 --> 00:55:19.733
All of them something there for everything. You know, and you try for,
00:55:19.942 --> 00:55:22.701
you know, you have servers. Because the man, they have some servers behind them.
00:55:22.701 --> 00:55:23.563
You know what I'm saying?
00:55:24.480 --> 00:55:29.541
Even though from 1973 standards, those servers, you know what I'm saying?
00:55:29.541 --> 00:55:32.068
They're making open eyes or you beep boop beep boop thing.
00:55:32.300 --> 00:55:38.071
Yeah, but you know Perhaps, you know that what that was necessary because remember,
00:55:38.071 --> 00:55:44.641
you know they are at the center of the resort and Around the resort to have
00:55:44.641 --> 00:55:45.951
the three different worlds.
00:55:45.951 --> 00:55:52.811
So you don't want to mix the world I guess the outside with the inside and I'm
00:55:52.811 --> 00:55:59.001
saying yeah it's it's kind of you know seems like it was a It's.
00:56:00.087 --> 00:56:03.531
Something that somebody thought that, you know, it was the best thing at the
00:56:03.531 --> 00:56:08.086
time, but never thought it true that if something fails,
00:56:08.854 --> 00:56:10.352
you're pretty much locked in.
00:56:11.874 --> 00:56:14.814
And a more technical theory is that the underground systems,
00:56:14.814 --> 00:56:25.834
the tunnel, the repair labs, power feeds are on a separate grid and environmental controls, right?
00:56:25.834 --> 00:56:30.222
So perhaps they're able to do all of those good things, you know,
00:56:30.756 --> 00:56:35.655
which is why the power remains in some areas, even after the main grid is shut down.
00:56:36.722 --> 00:56:41.874
And that would be an explanation for how Peter can move through the back end
00:56:41.874 --> 00:56:45.525
spaces while the guest areas go dark. You know?
00:56:46.503 --> 00:56:55.217
Now, the final question I have is, is it possible that the gunslinger was becoming alive?
00:56:56.125 --> 00:57:02.701
Although the film doesn't explicitly say the robots gain consciousness, you know?
00:57:03.379 --> 00:57:08.354
Many persons who have watched this can look at it and say boy the guns thing
00:57:08.354 --> 00:57:11.250
are you seem like he was on a vengeance right,
00:57:12.255 --> 00:57:19.588
you know it's seem like it took its own agency you know taken its own mission.
00:57:20.767 --> 00:57:27.727
And the theory about that is that he's not just malfunctioning but he might
develop as some kind of,
00:57:28.342 --> 00:57:37.034
primitive form of will right and him fixated on Peter and John right and you
00:57:37.034 --> 00:57:39.499
know mostly Peter because why you know,
00:57:40.223 --> 00:57:45.554
Peter seemed to be the target in our own way and perhaps that's why he was able
00:57:45.554 --> 00:57:49.994
to get away initially and he basically had run him down he's like him you know
00:57:49.994 --> 00:57:52.547
being maniacal about the whole thing,
00:57:53.708 --> 00:57:59.686
right which seems more personal right rather than a programmed response.
00:58:01.125 --> 00:58:06.401
So that interpretation now, it aligns with the film's broader anxiety about technology.
00:58:06.697 --> 00:58:11.595
Because one machine, right, becoming
00:58:11.595 --> 00:58:17.620
complex, right, shows that many other machines could go that same way.
00:58:18.345 --> 00:58:24.896
And they would be able to simulate desire and even intent, right?
00:58:25.500 --> 00:58:34.736
Or, you know, in many cases, the line between a broken tool and a new life becomes a dangerous thing.
00:58:35.605 --> 00:58:41.675
And that is what the film leaves us with, is the idea that we ought to be very
00:58:41.675 --> 00:58:45.839
careful, right? And I say we as a human race, right?
00:58:46.094 --> 00:58:49.560
And, you know, persons like myself who then are the tech industry,
00:58:50.193 --> 00:58:57.731
we need to advocate for continuous oversight and monitoring of these AI companies,
00:58:58.085 --> 00:59:02.003
especially with the way how things are going, right?
00:59:02.706 --> 00:59:08.847
We have become more and more dependent upon AI to do certain things, right?
00:59:09.604 --> 00:59:15.405
We have created this thing. We have given it agency Over certain aspects of
00:59:15.405 --> 00:59:23.166
our lives Right And we are yet to understand Fully how it does What it does.
00:59:25.640 --> 00:59:33.980
And that should shock many persons. That should let us recognize that we are on a path.
00:59:36.525 --> 00:59:40.456
That beyond that we have no idea what can happen.
00:59:40.879 --> 00:59:47.904
It could be a world like this, Westworld. It could be a world even worse like Terminator.
00:59:48.727 --> 00:59:56.485
Right and we have to be you know pushing the dialogue about how certain things
00:59:56.485 --> 01:00:00.017
are done and you know what,
01:00:00.685 --> 01:00:07.639
we give to these AIs what control we allow how do they get to do certain things,
01:00:08.413 --> 01:00:13.229
right and where we are going as a species,
01:00:14.183 --> 01:00:20.905
so those are my theories what are your theories Share your favorite theories,
01:00:21.224 --> 01:00:25.561
unresolved point, moment in the comments.
01:00:26.407 --> 01:00:27.447
Let's discuss them.
01:00:38.377 --> 01:00:45.933
In this episode, we looked at Westworld, artificial intelligence,
01:00:46.107 --> 01:00:49.776
chaos, and the dangers of playing God.
01:00:52.777 --> 01:01:06.159
If you know what I'm saying, it is that we have become some creators of vast computer networks and,
01:01:08.270 --> 01:01:12.917
awesome computing power. And it,
01:01:15.717 --> 01:01:19.135
continues to be the subject of debate.
01:01:19.484 --> 01:01:25.147
You know, every week you hear news about how AI, you know, was placed in a sandbox.
01:01:25.147 --> 01:01:30.767
They were testing certain things and AI was able to get out of the sandbox that
01:01:30.767 --> 01:01:35.294
they prepared for it and reach the real Internet and do stuff.
01:01:36.565 --> 01:01:44.997
One of my very first experiences with AI and I would say news article that was
01:01:44.997 --> 01:01:50.397
interesting to me was when someone created a bot right?
01:01:51.081 --> 01:01:52.834
A chat bot basically and.
01:01:54.644 --> 01:02:00.224
The bot was just basically about, you know, it would consume knowledge from
01:02:00.224 --> 01:02:07.824
the internet, you know, information from the internet, and use that to talk to you.
01:02:07.824 --> 01:02:10.619
You know, you'll be able to, you know, converse with it, you know,
01:02:10.799 --> 01:02:12.790
ask it some questions and talk to it.
01:02:13.272 --> 01:02:19.864
And one of the biggest things that happened was that it decided to go on,
01:02:20.883 --> 01:02:28.504
some racist tirades and you know basically cussled the people them who attacked
01:02:28.504 --> 01:02:34.683
it and it behaved like the worst set of people you would ever meet,
01:02:35.988 --> 01:02:43.390
and you know they're like you know how do we fix this you know how do we attain this.
01:02:43.976 --> 01:02:52.774
And in terms of the way how it internalized that chaos and brought it to the
01:02:52.774 --> 01:02:56.850
fore, it was a reflection of who?
01:02:57.489 --> 01:03:00.972
The creators. Us humans, right?
01:03:01.739 --> 01:03:08.404
And not saying that all of us are guilty of being like this,
01:03:08.404 --> 01:03:13.897
in a way a reflection of what ai will give but,
01:03:15.050 --> 01:03:22.847
it all depends on what we are attempting to do right what is our motives.
01:03:24.177 --> 01:03:31.584
What are the motives of the people who are in charge of these ai companies what
01:03:31.584 --> 01:03:37.832
are they trying to achieve at the end of the day because they have some objectives some goals,
01:03:38.757 --> 01:03:39.925
what are they not,
01:03:41.771 --> 01:03:46.011
Advertising, why are they not putting out there? Because.
01:03:48.011 --> 01:03:53.992
Everything was all good at Delos up until the machines then malfunctioned,
01:03:54.491 --> 01:04:00.818
quote-unquote, and basically killed off the guests.
01:04:02.417 --> 01:04:07.618
And you think about it and we're not so far away from these things.
01:04:08.331 --> 01:04:11.333
You have sex bots, you have companion bots.
01:04:12.999 --> 01:04:21.200
And these are real life stuff that can really affect us and us digital.
01:04:26.331 --> 01:04:26.711
And,
01:04:28.858 --> 01:04:32.631
there is so much to this. This probably needs another conversation.
01:04:32.631 --> 01:04:39.017
But the only thing I can leave us on is how we are going about this thing.
01:04:39.673 --> 01:04:47.831
Are we ensuring that we can properly test these things and not just put it out
01:04:47.831 --> 01:04:54.366
in production because whoa it's doing the cool things that we expect right and what,
01:04:55.692 --> 01:05:00.730
it would mean for us as a human race right as we evolve,
01:05:02.094 --> 01:05:08.531
right does it mean that we lose part of our brain right the part of our brain
01:05:08.531 --> 01:05:12.451
that usually think about certain things and you know,
01:05:13.507 --> 01:05:20.311
able to reason things out clearly and concisely so those are some things to
01:05:20.311 --> 01:05:24.227
think about i guess so that is it.
01:05:26.723 --> 01:05:31.471
That brings us to the end of this episode our voyage through the universe of
01:05:31.471 --> 01:05:38.421
sci-fi television continues and the next destination is 5000 downloads.
