DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd9w22n9e4go
Last week, OpenAI reported that one of its experimental AI models “escaped” a supposed isolated digital testing environment on their server and hacked an outside server of a partner company Hugging Face (Alien much?)
This marks the first REPORTED rogue AI escaping its owners controls.
Terminator’s SkyNet and 2001: A Space Odyssey’s HAL come to mind. Did you ever wonder why HAL kills humans? Here’s a rabbit hole about 2001.
QUESTIONS ABOUT 2001
Why did HAL kill the crew?
Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrik co-wrote the story.
• Kubrik thought HAL was trying to protect a secret mission. It was reprogrammed at the last minute to establish contact with the Black Monolith Aliens on Jupiter. The human crew was a danger to the mission.
• Clarke thought HAL was suffering from conflicting programming. It was told to both keep the Secret Mission from the crew but HAL was also programmed to provide the crew with all information required for their exploration mission to Jupiter. It suffered a nervous breakdown (later discussed in the sequel movie 2010). It killed the crew to resolve the programming conflict: no humans, no conflict.
Why does HAL sing a song?
The song is “Daisy Bell” which was published in 1892 and in 1961 Bell Labs researchers demonstrated advanced Voice Synthesis to author Arthur C. Clarke, who used the experience in writing the ending of HAL.
HAL is not IBM
There’s a rummor that HAL was hidden dig at IBM, one letter transposed. Clarke claims this was a pure or subconcious coincidence and not anything he intended. HAL stands for (Heuristically Programmed Algorithmic Computer). The IBM brand was featured in various computer and gear props the film 2001.
What the hell was that room at the end of the movie?
From the Clarke novelization of 2001, I learned the room was constructed by the advanced Alien beings to study humans by letting astronaut Frank Bowman live out the rest of his life in it. It’s a room created by people who only know human homes from TV broadcasts or remote observations. They feed him. He grows old and dies. Maybe goes a little insane from the isolation?
When he dies, his consciousness joins the Aliens and they turn him into a Godlike “Star Child” that we see at the end of the movie.

Moon Monolith
What happened on the moon with the monolith sending out a noise that attacked the astronauts?
• The beginning the movie, a scientist travels to the moon because of the discovery of the Black Monolith buried under the surface.
This discovery is the first evidence of Alien life and intelligence older than humans, because the monolith was buried millions of years ago.
The noise is a powerful radio signal emitted by the monolith, creating loud static blast in the astronauts’ helmets.
The sunlight touches the monolith for the first time in millions of years, triggers the radio blast. This radio blast is targeted towards Jupiter (Saturn in the novel), which instigates the Discovery Mission with HAL later in the movie.
Why do they walk funny?
In the scenes of the Space Clipper shuttle traveling from Earth to the spinning space station, and the voyage to the moon base, we see Stewardesses serving passengers food walking in a odd way. This is because their feet are covered in Velcro to keep them from floating.
Faked Moon Landing Hoax?
The fringe theory is that the US Gov hired Stanley Kubrick to create a fake Apollo moon landing using special effects from his movie 2001, which was released in 1968, a year before Apollo 11 landed on the moon in 1969.
• The sets for 2001 were built in MGM studios in England, so it would be an international conspiracy. Anybody who’s worked with anybody in the movie industry knows that nobody can keep their mouth shut. Somebody always brags about everything and takes credit for things they didn’t do.
• They would have had to film the fake landing at about the same time as the movie was being filmed in 1968. But the scenes on the moon in 2001 didn’t look like the real moon landing images.
• The TV video of the moon landings were low-res but there are hundreds of high-resolution 70mm and 35mm film negatives and photos from the moon. That level of detail could not be created on a movie set.

FINAL BRAND CONTEST CLUE
By the 1950’s this US airline brand dominated international travel and for many personified Jetset travel. But due to international regulation and domestic US deregulation in the 1980’s squeezing its business model. This pioneer in air travel filed for bankruptcy and closed its doors in 1991. Its brand name has been licensed to various failed charter airlines.
