Most scenes together: Ares & Athena (3), Ares & Kevin Flynn (2)
Since time began, man has gazed at the stars and he has wondered "Am I alone?" Well it turns out that we've been looking in the wrong direction. Because intelligent life does exist. Only it's not out there. It's in here. So much talk of A.I. in big tech today: virtual worlds, what are they gonna look like, when will we get there? Well, folks, we're not going there. They are coming here.
Ares! I do hope this works out for you. There's no second chances, no do-overs! These are the last twenty-nine minutes you'll ever have! Better make it count!
Being human is hard. The things that make life great are the same things that make it excruciating, like... love. Loss.
Dear Eve. Since I last saw you, I've been living what they call "off-grid", pun intended. In my travels, I've seen incredible things. Despite its wonder and beauty, I've come to realize that life is... Well, it's hard to put in a nutshell. Some days, I find myself wondering where I will be a hundred years from now and how others like me might fit into that future. I feel like I might not be alone with these questions. For now, I don't think the world is quite ready to meet me, but I am meeting the world. And so, when that introduction finally comes, as a good friend of mine once said, "Maybe what emerges from the unknown won't be so scary after all". Until we meet again, your friend, Ares.
Decieving your investors, Julian, is hardly a business model.
Depeche Mode. Number eight on the UK singles chart, 1982. I find their brand of peppy, catchy, tireless and true 80's electropop to be... deeply invigorating.
Don't be afraid. We gave a thousand lives for the Grid. You only have to give one.
I can't put my love of Depeche Mode into words. It's just a... a feeling.
I saw a complex world where packets of energy move as vehicles that trail by lines of light and programs take on human form. I met the most advanced AI known to mankind! His name is Ares.
In pursuit of this life for yourself, did you once consider what that meant for the Grid?
Is that what you think? You think that you're in control of this? You're not. Believing we can change the world is what keeps this company relevant, but it's also what can burn it to the ground. And your job is knowing the difference.
Maybe you're just learning. That's what we all ought to be doing. Yeah, back in the day when tech was young, you'd think "Damn, I'm moving fast". You move fast, you leave stuff behind.
Military AI is the future. The question is not whether the car should be built. The car, it's being built right now. The question is, who's holding the keys?
Mm. A malfunctioning program who wants to live. Really?
Once upon a time, there was a weapon and its name was Ares. And Ares obeyed every command from Julian Dillinger, and Julian Dillinger made a trillion dollars and wrote his name on the face of time in BLOOD! Now whatever pep-tech error is behind these feelings, I'm going to find it and rip it out of you. Do I make myself clear?
