The subtitle of the movie is Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist, and here is the trailer.
Overall this film was better and smarter than I was expecting. Intelligent people were allowed to speak, and to present various sides of the issue. It was also interesting to see how various people one knows come across on the big screen.
It is easy enough to mock the final section of the movie, which calls for a participatory “civil rights” movement on AI, negotiations with China, and a big voice for trade unions in the decisions. What Dan Klein calls “the people’s romance.” The Straussian read there is correct, even though it probably was not intended by the moviemakers. In reality, for better or worse, the final decisions will continue to be made by the national security establishment.
On a weekend, there were five other people in the theater.
