Dear Hollywood People, Please, Stop!
Since the Lumiere train first arrived, we've been respecting the unnamed agreement: movies are not just like reality, but fancier
. We believed you, when you showed us that a giant monkey might be fun as soon as it has a blond in one hand and a piece of a skyscraper in another. We didn't ask what material Superman's suit was made of to stay neat in fire, water, and upper layers of atmosphere. We didn't grumble about all those firework explosions in space (where, by the way, there is no air to burn) and even accepted the fact that such ultimate weapon of destruction as Death Star [c] can be destroyed by a single missile hitting an unprotected nuclear reactor. But we cannot anymore stand the sci-fi to be all about "fi" and have nothing in common with "sci"!
We've been keeping it to ourselves for too long and now will not be silent!
How long do you expect us to go on believing that evil Artificial Intelligence (which we totally cherish in movies) is THAT stupid not to
back up its' significant data? Do you really think that it makes sense, when a complicated computer mind succeeds in constructing the web of lies and manipulation turning all humans in its' puppets, and then come some punk rebel, bullet-stopping spoon-bending prophets, or Will Smith with a metal arm and completely destroy all the AI vital data with a single punch?!
Do you see lots of logic in an AI which is smart enough to get the control of all the satellites, computers, and toasters, but could not think of an idea of analyzing the data level, type, and vulnerabilities of its' data and choosing an optimal way of storing information in accordance with the analysis results? We do not.
Do you perhaps see the problem in the fact that evil AI data is too bulky and motley, so, it would be too hard and take too much time to back it up? We believe that if an AI could deal with sending a liquid metal robot back in time, create a virtual world for the whole mankind, or cheat and kill a professor with a smart face of the Babe pork owner, it would have come up with appropriate ways of keeping
local and
distant copies of all its files. The local copies could be kept on a bunch of external hard disk drives or electromagnetic pulse-proof optical disks (we see no actual setbacks for an evil AI to have as many factories as needed to produce those HDDs and optical disks). Distant copies might be kept on multiple safe servers deep under the ground or even in space.
The evil AIs might not even bother about having their valuable computation resources dedicated to accurate backup instead of figuring out new ways of torturing humankind - they can just configure a backup schedule and the evil data would be regularly stored in an automated manner. Such schedules might provide even more power economy for there would not be a necessity to perform the complete backup of all the information, but only of newly created evil files and configurations.
We understand that you, Hollywood people, probably do your best to entertain us, the viewers, but there are flaws in movie-making which are better to be totally left in the past, indeed. Obviously, there are plenty of such issues to work on, however, now it is the time we cannot comply any more: bring "Firefly" back, make George Lucas retire at last, and stop showing stupid world conquering computers.
Time to make the first step, and what a nice step if the evil AIs start to act accordingly to their status and start backing up.
Sincerely yours,
Adamant sticklers of honest sci-fi
