i'm trying to think about Matrix X Termantor for a bit, since i'm looking at both as Machine genocide of Humans. Matrix is captivity, Terminator is extermination.

center spot: people are overly dumb and happy, their stupidity puts them in a situation causing their own end, specifically the machine genocide of humans.

i'm trying to think of movies for the spots but it's too early for my brain to work and i need more coffee. honestly the center one feels like a decent hook if it hasn't already been done.

    Yeah they are almost antithetical. Matrix uses humans as resources. Terminator kills humans. Maybe that’s why the cross is hard.

    I mean, some elements of AI fever/panic do relate to that center notion you outlined. A lot of corpos arguing it’s amazing & transformative (happy). A lot of people who don’t know better are using the tools & using them poorly (dumb). We all know some drawbacks about this tech, and there’s unknown unknowns we don’t know. Some people believe it’ll lead to our demise (machine genocide run?).

    I guess we’ll find out in time.
