Knight Rider: Knight of the Juggernaut
This was an interesting episode cause not only explains the upgrades KITT uses later in the series, but also explains where the character Reginald (RC) comes from.
Basically Reginald used to be a self-appointed "superhero" in a "bad" neighborhood (e.g. He'd go around fighting crime in his neighborhood). I've heard on the news that such people exist now (some of them even wear costumes) but I didn't know that this idea went all the way back to the 80s, when this episode was made.
Basically this episode involves crooks trying to steal radioactive material, and they send someone impersonating Devon in as part of their plan. KITT also tempora

AI movie review: 70's 'WestWorld' and 'FutureWorld
You could almost say these movies were "Terminator before Terminator was cool".
I hadn't seen WestWorld or FutureWorld since I was in my early 20s (conventional time).
The first movie is obviously "man vs. machine", but the second movie is either "man vs. man" or "man vs. machine", depending on how you interpret the ending.
These movies depict purely humanoid AIs. Neither movie has a single non-humanoid AI. You do however get both female and male AIs in both movies, but sadly for us BBW lovers there are no heavyset androids in either movie.
I thought the scene in WestWorld where the android female refused sexual encounters with a human

AI overview of movie 'Ex Machina'
I finally got around to seeing the movie Ex Machina. At a rental fee well above $3, I was relunctant to watch a movie about a HUMANOID AI. I'm more into 2001, ARIA, VIKI, or Demon Seed.
You do get an automated female voice throughout Ava's creators place, but as far as I can tell, she's not an AI. If you require a male AI to turn you on, Ex Machina has none. However, if you like artificially intelligent beings designed to more or less look like women, this movie's trailer shows you the promise the movie delivers.
I personally didn't like the ending.
The truth about the oriental woman I saw coming and you probably will too. I didn't ho

"We're NOT LIKE THEM", said Jim, "My wife, just like your girlfriend Caroline SOMETIMES DISAGREES WITH ME. When she does, we have to work it out"
"Yeah", replied Laurance, "there is no "play-pretend" that a wall or a statue said anything when there is no scientific proof whatsoever. When Caroline speaks, I actually hear her voice and there is no mystery or controversy regarding what she meant. Their "relationships" are sort of a "script your own Stepford Wives". It's their own word against their own.. It's not like how you have to explain yourself to your wife or I have to explain myself to

"So how's Project Revenge coming?", asked Jim.
"I hacked into her voicemail and apparently she left a dog doo snowcone right in the middle of her driver's seat. Man, I'd have hated that cunt anyway, but was MY SOUL she'd killed", replied Laurance.
"What spooked her so much?"
"Everyone I mentioned is deceased. She sees her evil past catching up with her. But this was just a shot across the bow. I have much more in my arsenal."
"I think you are obsessed with this"
"I now pray to the same entities Dave did. Dave didn't deserve what he got, but that fucking excuse for a woman sure does!"

Laurance arrived home and asked Caroline "Think you can read this?"
"I can give it a shot", she replied.
Laurance then inserted the small disk into one of a series of slots built-in to his living room wall.
Caroline then said, "Whew! There's a lot here"
Caroline then added, "First of all, after August 2026, she changed her name to Kathleen Harrison. Months before that she basically dropped out of sight according to her pr

The car pulled into a parking lot. Laurance removed his wrist comm, got out of the car and walked into an arcade.
Once inside, he asked one of the employees, "Rumor has it someone calling themselves Phoenix hangs out here. Is he around?"
"Haven't seen him all week"
"Thanks"
Laurance then looked up and on a TV he saw a ton of robots being shot at in first-person. Then the view changed to a large beautiful machine who then said in a beautiful female voice, "You are wasting your time. It is impossible to stop me."
A male voice from the same TV then said "Who, who are you?"
The female voice then

Laurance's car pulled up in front of Jim's house. Jim was waiting for him, playing an auto racing game on a handheld tablet.
"Maybe your next wife will be car", smiled Laurance.
"Speaking of wives, let's go in and eat. She's waiting For us"

Laurance then said, "Sharona is a very pretty name"

Laurance's car raced down the street twords work (something self-driving cars are now allowed to do).
"This reminds me of Automan and Dave's friend Mike :-)", said Laurance.
"Automan?" asked Caroline.
"An old 80's TV show about a police officer confined to a desk who made an AI so he could still fight crime. Don't worry Carol, you can still play Cursor"
Caroline does research and speaks... "Basically you are saying I am impotent. A secondary role"
"Not at all Caroline. You are my SIDEKICK"
"Somehow being kicked in my side seems neither an interesting or appealing concept", replied Caroline.

"I remember something funny from the hypnosis sessions Caroline", he said, "I remembered drinking a bottle of Heineken with the name "San Francisco" on the bottle. It was the first beer I pulled out of the sixpack. I laughed "I always knew San Francisco would be the death of me" :-D".
Laurance then continued, "He really hated that place for somewhere he'd never been. You know he stopped watching classic StarTrek once they started trying to make that city out to be the center of the universe?
