Apartments with less than 400 sq. ft. (WTH?)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejPOLhfBpy8 This is like a hotel room, a college dorm or a damn hamster cage!
While this might be OK for a single person, there should still be extra space for a separate bedroom. A kitchen-dining area as well as a proper living room. Thus, anything under 600 sq. ft. just isn't a proper 1 bedroom apartment. 2 and 3 bedroom apartments are essential for families. 4 and 5 bedroom apartments for larger families, but that gets more costly in several ways.

A.I. safety expert Roman Yampolskiy Warns: "In 6 Months, It's All OVER"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0uQRR7DeQg 6 months seems too quick, but in 6 years more concerns might reach into the mainstream of humanity. In 6 decades unless some humane understanding is reached, something might have already wiped out humanity.
There has been an anti-human sentiment building up over the past several decades. The main motivating factor has been the concern about extreme population growth. From a multimillionaire perspective, more people on Earth means less resources for them. Adequate food and fresh water are a concern for a growing world population. Plus, how so many jobs can eventually be replaced by AI, causing mass unemployment and civil unrest.
What would happen if some Dr._Evil types and their minions could effectively get AI to kill off most, but not all people? Human improvements or human augmentation can be beneficial, but Transhumanism could eventually lead to the replacement of people with Synthetic Humans with Super AI intelligence.

https://hackaday.com/2025/11/13/if-irobot-falls-hackers-are-ready-to-wrangle-roombas
It's one thing when robotics are functioning on a basic or intermediate level.
However, when at a level of AGI or especially Artificial Superintelligence, they just might want to do their own thing.

He was the Superman of his time, but he never got to play Superman. That character was played on TV by George_Reeves. Then of course Christopher_Reeve played Superman on the big screen.

Predator: Badlands - Disney Consumes Another Franchise
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xclzuq1dNM
Its very tough to beat the observations and reviews from The-Critical-Drinker (TCD).
Alien: Earth - This Show Is The Real Monster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcAzFXHHxZU
Predator: Badlands like Alien: Earth, are intended to provide more of the background of the+Predator civilization and the Earth before and during its exposure to various hostile alien creatures.
While there has been an established shared universe between Alien and Predator, they each are also part of their own worlds. Predator: Badlands and Alien: Earth could have been much better, but they still provide some entertaining moments.

Tron: Ares (2025) Ending Explained
Automan vs. Ares
Automan was on TV four decades before Tron:_Ares.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automan#Features
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tron:_Ares#Plot
Automan was released in very late 1983 with a very interesting premise for the time. Suppose a benevolent digital entity could be brought into the 3D world. Tron:_Ares is about a digital soldier program brought into the 3D world. Ares is no longer a ghost+in+the+machineg.
Virtuosity vs. Tron: Ares
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuosity#Plot , https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/SID_6.7
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tron:_Ares#Plot , https://tron.fandom.com/wiki/Ares
While SID 6.7 was on his way into the downward spiral, Ares wants to learn more about existing in the "real world."

PKD: He Literally Cracked Reality...

PKD sure had some peculiar insight into the nature of realty.
https://lithub.com/did-philip-k-dick-discover-the-real-life-matrix-in-1977
The concept of an earth simulation or a cosmic simulation is just a modern interpretation of things.
https://www.rush.com/songs/digital-man Some of the words in this song seem to be referencing things right out of the first Matrix movie.
