The trailer includes a sequence where some nanotech wizardry starts to devour things in order to build hardware, so this isn’t a movie about the fate of just a few people like The Lawnmower Man, but talks about the end of the world in earnest.
At least one of the people behind the movie expects superintelligence to be “likely to happen in our lifetimes” and got Ben Goertzel involved somewhere in the sidelines.
Have you taken these points in account in your prediction?
Shooting is apparently scheduled to start April, so you probably don’t have long to wait.
without a director?
Imdb lists Wally Pfister as director. The shooting date is also from its Q&A thing.
awww crap, cinematography was a huge glaring weakness of Nolan’s films. This does not bode well.
This never boded well in the first place.
Why do you say? Are you expecting this to be a net negative contribution to the public consciousness of AI risk?
I’ll be very surprised if it’s not.

They do not alter it.
Now that the movie is out, how would you rate your prediction in hindsight?
I haven’t seen the movie and have no intention of seeing it, but from others’ reviews I’d rate it as correct.
