Welcome to Litsy!

I can only imagine how futuristic and ahead of its time this sounded when first published. AI and robots becoming free-thinkers? We‘ve seen a burst of AI books hit the shelves over the past few years (or it seems that way to me), so I decided to read the one that‘s been sitting on mine for years. And I loved it.

An interview from a journalist with renowned Robopsychologist Susan Calvin who worked for U.S. Robots. Stories are individually told from the beginning of the use of robots as Nannies to the powerhouse Machines that run the world, Dr Calvin has been there every step of the way. An interesting take on societies‘ reliance and yet aversion to robots. Are robots built to protect humans from themselves? Who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

Watched Scream 4 & 5 last night and this afternoon. #Scarathlon #SpookyGhostClub 11pts

There is more Asimov in my future.

What did I just read? To say I‘m puzzled would be an understatement. But I think I have to read Book 2 now? Or have an AI online explain it to me.

I absolutely ADORE these films and have had this for ages and had not read it. Omg I love it as much as the movies. There‘s always been magic in these stories.

I watched this for the first time tonight and Tarantino did score with this one (though Django Unchained is my favorite of his movies). Even though it‘s set in France I watched it because it was a US/Germany collaboration. So I‘m finally doing something to honor our #foodandlit country, #Germany. And all the references to German food (even if in a condescending manner) sure made me ready for some!
