it might be time for Babylon 5 rewatch.
My scifi fix hasn't been satisfied by recent Hollywood attempts, need to go back to basics.
Have you already watched the animated movie Babylon 5: The Road Home? I liked it a lot.
i have not! i didn't even know it existed, thanks! its on my list now
You're welcome. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
If you do like the Cyberpunk subgenre of scifi, I can also highly recommend the movie Upgrade. It's an Australian production and the ending hit me like a freight train.

(Don't read the plot section!)
Thanks for the upgrade recommendation, haha, watching it now.
Sweet. Please let me know how you liked it. It's one of my favourite movies.
Made a film post about your excellent recommendation: https://hackertalks.com/post/4230075
Wow that ending.
Real Colossus: The Forbin Project vibes! I love the gentle AI apocalypse, but i love out the AI is trying to protect itself from competition first!
Small nit, STEM was in the neck, so being able to see, or hear, or control what the brain can see and hear... wrong place for the routing.
Oh, nice post! And thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked it. :)
I do love the literal cloud in the tech recluses mansion!
shucks. looks like netfix.
