Otherlife was good, never heard of it until Prime recommended it last night. Here's a really strange thing about it, the "villain" is named Sam and he looks a LOT like Sam Altman. I thought it was an intentional joke sort of thing, then I found out this movie came out in 2017, Sam Altman didn't become CEO of OpenAI until 2019, I don't think he was on anyone's radar in 2017, much less being cast as the villain of AI back then. Things that make you wonder 🤔

👍 Ah, I guess he had already started OpenAI back then and also had high visibility via Y Combiner (as its president) so my initial hunch was probably correct then about the film poking fun at him.  I think you would like it.
