    I started up Reddits functional print many years ago to serve as a gallery/showcase to inspire others that 3D printing has a lot of useful uses.

    I left Reddit with the Exodus, but I believe it still exists, although it’s probably bot filled garbage now.

    But it had a huge list of useful things.

    I have a similar thead here on the fediverse, but the original site (kbin.social) died out and I haven’t bothered to get another going.

    Yeah, the original was way more entertaining, agreed.

    But the original didn’t really touch on the Ghost in the Machine-esque nature of blurring that line between man/machine.

    Also the premise that they did it just to have a ‘mobile tank’ on the streets of Chicago was meh…

    The premise of the newer movie, where they had to have a hybrid person in to push the narrative to achieve public opinion/support to allow robotic drones to roam the streets so they can make that sweet military industrial complex money and keep the plebs in place?

    Yeah… way more believable, if not a direct prediction of exactly what is to come.

    Robocop 2014

    I think its extremely underrated.

    I thoroughly enjoyed it, because out of all the sci-fi movies I’ve seen in the last two decades, this one has a very high likely chance of playing out exactly as indicated in the film.

    We will blur the line between man and machine, and eventually have a identity crisis.

    We will very likely see autonomous drone platoons being coordinated by a few or single human operator.

    Those drones will likely be deployed in a military fashion first with push-back on deploying on home soil as a police force.

    Until they will inevitably be deployed and used against civilians.

    Also kudo’s to the scene where he is stripped down to the bare parts, and the entire theater went quiet. There’s a level of existential dread, when your ‘being’ is laid bare that the reality is… you… everything about you… is just a small clump of grey matter.
