(WTF alert)

I have been (just) watching FOKUS TV channel (the Polish one), there was a short (5min) documentary about cryonics (apparently part of an US documentary movie). Paraphrasing from memory, we learn that cryonics serves to preserve the deceased bodies, because cryonic people believe that one day it will be possible to extract frozen cells and clone the persons preserved. The most famous body is that of Ted Williams, his son wants to clone the best baseball player one day.

I know how to fix </scorpion> to make it more watchable for me. It needs a real story arc where the super-smart characters, who do the equivalent of putting out fires set by sort-of smart people not quite on their level, realize that several of these fires show the handiwork of a super-smart arsonist, or a team of arsonists, like a terrorist group comprising several Professor Moriarty-like geeks. Identifying and confronting these people then becomes the focus of the rest of the series.

In Team Moriarty I'd throw in some super-smart people from ethnic groups not well-known in the West to give the show a 21st Century cosmopolitan flavor. (The series does take place in L.A., after all.) They probably should make the alpha Moriarty a Russian, a not uncommon ethnicity for villains in Hollywood these days.

I've been catching up on Person of Interest. The first season is kind of a slog, but it gets much better after that. The most recent episode explicitly discusses AI Friendliness and AI-box problems.
