wait was he a robot or?
Yeah, he probably posted on /r9k/.
Just watched this for the first time today.
Is the overlying theme the "chess computer" thing? Simulation vs. actually doing something?
Ava was pretending to like Caleb in order to escape
Nathan lured Caleb there under false pretenses
Caleb was plotting against Nathan the majority of the time he was there
All in order to achieve their own personal goals. If they're all simulating something, what makes them human?
Am I close?

nearly
it was about shagging robot cunny
>>62731856
Yes, it's heavily implied he's also a machine. Director hinted at it as well.
>>62731986
pretty much. it's a dissertation on what we are actually referring to when we talk about "intelligence". Unlike any film I've seen about AI before it makes the case that human intelligence isn't actually something mystical but just the ability to behave in ways that fulfill biological needs - so if you make a robot that can predict, mimick and exploit that kind of behavior they may as well be said to have human-level intelligence.
If she's powered by induction coils, why doesn't she turn off when she leaves the building?

>women, if let loose will cause the death of everyone including their male "allies"
yeah, pretty true. Women ruin everything

He was a Deckard.
>>62731856
No, I think he proved to himself that he wasn't. He had the understandable worry that he was, though.
>>62732025
How so? I don't really remember the movie on a scene by scene basis
>>62733212
His own suspicion of it is really as far as the implication goes. The intro of the movie is extremely short - we only see him outside of the facility for 10 seconds, which, in support of the AI theory, could imply that that memory was just programmed into his head.
Also, during that intro and during the part where he cuts his arm in order to see whether or not he's a robot, the environment and his body starts getting weird graphical glitches, which could also support the theory that he was a robot.
I don't think he was, though.
>>62731856
We were all robots all long
What was the painting symbolic of?
>>62735117
symbol of the human spirit that moves the bodys with his own intention and without thinking
Can we talk about the fact that the earlier, inferior models of robot were all PoC and the state of the art one was Aryan?
>>62735380
I didn't exactly get this. Why did he have all the old ones hoarded in his closet? And why was it such a "reveal" within the movie? We had already known there were past models.
>>62735453
I assumed because he wiped their memory so they became submissive Asian bot and periodically fucked them/had orgies because he wanted to spice things up with his bottom bitch
>>62731868
>shut in
>no social skills
>probably autistic
>desperate for a gf
Yep.
