He does, but after having done way more research than is sane for a story i wanted to write i don't worry about it at all.

MAD isn't a real thing, hasn't been since the late 80s. The fear of it is just really deeply ingrained. But once you actually look into modern tech & defenses? Ridiculous.

Super fun to see all the people complaining about the length of 2 hour movies ready and able to put 7 hours into watching a bunch of dudes try to hit a ball and run in a circle for 7 hours...

Actually i was trying not to post this whole thing because it's only tangentially relevant to the point of the thread, but... typed this whole thing up the other day. And I actually put the work into researching this shit...

People who are erroneously pedantic with "actually the DR is Frankenstein, not the monster" tend to be the ones who completely miss the point that Victor IS the monster.

If you can't see how that leads to headlines implying the dr being the monster is a reimagining, I dont know how to help you.

Im starting to unironically think that part of this whole thing is that word "under".

I think it's entirely plausible that he's secretly building a new safe room above ground because the articles saying he hid in his basement in 2020 made him sound weak.

This is what happens when you don't correct the pedant dicks on their (factually wrong) "actually it's Frankenstein's monster! Frankenstein was the dr!" dipshittery.

No dumbass, the monster in Frankenstein WAS the dr. That was the fucking POINT.

I've trained third graders better than this.

Did you MISS the part where I said I'm making an effort to do exactly that...?

Pretty sure I was just pointing out that I (a person guilty of) can see how there is a prominent and very conflicting message that our warnings apparently weren't loud ENOUGH and there may be some compensation happening.

OneWingedSparrow @onewingedsparrow.bsky.social · 5d

I've seen, but I'll believe it when it happens.

Ouch. Bravo.

Balls to that. I'm selecting whatever THIS is.

I've been trying to be better about this, personally. But I feel like a huge part of the problem is also the "no one could've predicted it would be this bad" crowd when YES WE ABSOLUTELY THE FUCK DID!

Of all the shit they're doing live action reboots of this one feels like onr of the worst missed opportunities of the last 25 years.

This (the general thought and reasons for it, not you in particular)
is why I'm particularly mad about how this tech was so thoroughly mismanaged.

I can think of PLENTY of ways these tools could've been used ethically, effectively and in a way that people would've welcomed.

But greedy bastards...

Lol. Sorry. My normal answer is Black Mirror but that seems too on the nose too lately.

In the spirit of ACTUALLY answering the question:

Alien (actual scifi horror)
Storm of the Century (king-verse)
Cabin in the Woods (camp comedy)
The Mummy (because why not)

The news?

Honestly im shocked at the complete lack of lawsuits by medical and tech professionals over their names being included by AI in studies and professional recommendations letters.

That shit is still forgery. Press charges against the people presenting the letter AND the AI company that "wrote" it.

Omg. That's really what's happening isn't it?

The ballroom is just a front. The reason he needs to connect it to the house proper is he's building a bolt hole and a safe room too. Because hiding in the basement wasn't good enough and read as too cowardly in the press last time.
