I am a bit worried by the fact that this trailer has a robot squad infiltrating a warehouse with mannequins and antique recording devices, as opposed to things more unambiguously AI-Box-related. The synopsis also sounds rather wooey. Anyway, the full movie will be the judge of my worries.

It gave me the same feeling I get when I see a movie based on a Philip K. Dick story. The PKD story contains wildly, brilliantly original ideas; and the movie spins a fun tale with lots of action, having only a slight, tangential connection to the original story.

I think this is about right. The exposure I was referring to is the linkage and the name drop of Eliezer.

Apparently, inf the future we will have humanoid, bipedal robots and self-aware AI, which will be powered by vacuum tubes and reels of magnetic tape. Odd.
