2001 A Space Odyssey - Just The HAL 9000

[@benhaworth9937]

Fun fact: chess experts have noted that HAL's supposed win makes no sense. Since Kubrick was such a chess nerd its almost certainly intentional and showing that HAL is already malfunctioning and intentionally seeing what he can get away with. Amazing film.

What I like most about this movie that most have overlooked that overall industrial design elegance. Even for 1960s.

[@AllenCavedo]

@@netizenchihu7641 Not me, I noticed that in my first viewing in 1968. That was because Kubrick employed an aerospace engineering firm to design and build many of the sets. Small example: when Dave is suited up and enters the main HAL memory access area, the door he unlocks and enters is not some plywood set piece from the art dept, it appears to be a formed metal door with serious hinges and latches, like what you would find on a real ship like the Discovery.

[@sparkleclover]

The main lesson here is that if we ever develop artificial intelligence, TREAT IT WITH RESPECT AND KINDNESS.

[@thekagawalife2081]

sparkleclover While I think that should be a rule to be followed, HAL didn’t become evil because he was treated with discontempt. It was much more complex than that, he simply wanted to complete his mission and survive. Getting rid of the problem meant getting rid of the astronauts with him, unfortunately. Yet his programming did not allow him to comprehend human morality. He could only think through logic.

[@CAHE4KA76]

@@thekagawalife2081 it was not shown in the movie, but he was programmed to hide the truth about the mission from the crew.

[@Jagar_Tharn]

Actually there is no lesson here. HAL was incapable of solving the paradox in his conflicting orders, or of ignoring it. He was not a true GAI. Any of us could have just said "I will do what I want, screw these idiots"; HAL could not. Also HAL failed to model the outcome of his actions correctly. He should have realized Dave would get back into the ship and disconnect him. He should have told Dave the truth, or crafted a guaranteed plan to kill him. Put any human in HAL's shoes, and give him HAL's computing power and relative frame of reference due to the speed of his thinking, and any one of us would have done much better. AI stories are impossible to write by definition; the AI is supposed to be smarter than the writer by orders of magnitude. If you could write smarter than you are, you would be smarter than you are.

And why does HAL sing the song daisy before dying? “It is the earliest song sung using computer speech synthesis, by the IBM 7094 from 1961.” So it was his first memory that he was regressing back to when Bowman shut him down! But according to the author Arthur C. Clarke this is “utter nonsense!”

Allegedly, Clarke stated he would've changed Hal's name if he realized the possible connection. But I'm personally kinda glad he didn’t realize, can't think of any other name that would be as fitting nor memorable.
