Tova:
Let's make this more concrete. Where is the conflict right now? Here's what I think.
There is conflict between the way Bubbles and Faye appear to be viewing their developing relationship.
There is conflict between the way Faye sees her relationship with Bubbles, and the way the rest of the world sees it.
There is conflict between Evie's academic view of AI society and Bubbles' very real, lived experience of it.
All of these stories will be interesting as they play out, but I don't see evil or maliciousness on any side of these conflicts.
Gyrre:
Looks like Melon reporting back with news of how her new "pet" is doing wins.
Is it cold in here?:
I'm posting in an old thread but this would be off topic in the current WCDT.
Evie is wrong
Tova:
We haven't progressed at all since The Man in the White Suit, have we?
BenRG:
It's interesting that you should mention The Man in the White Suit. Along with its stable-mate, I'm Alright Jack, it is a debunking of the power of scientific and social progress to make the world a better place. Both films highlight the tragically human habit of choosing to reject objectively beneficial change simply because doing otherwise would lead to short-term inconvenience or financial loss or reduction of personal power on your part. In both cases, the protagonist ends up the tragic loser with the entire world having risen as one to strike them down for daring to threaten the status quo, no matter how bad said status quo might be.
