As the illustrious Euler has already pointed out (and no, I have not checked every msg on this thread to see if he has) but "Free Solo" has to be on the best documentaries ever.
I watched the final ascent scene again recently (the last 25mins) and it puts the shits up me...and every time I watch it I still think he's going to fall...
(but he doesn't)
Stuff to watch

i recommend this recent panorama as a wake up call to where AI can take us (for good and bad):
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m ... -yet-human
synopsis:
From Amazon’s Alexa to improvements in cancer care, artificial intelligence is changing our world. But today leading tech figures from Silicon Valley worry about the future that’s being created. Brad Smith, president of Microsoft, believes George Orwell's 1984 could become reality by 2024. Panorama has uncovered new evidence of AI being used by police in China to recognise the emotions of detainees in order to help determine guilt or innocence. China has vowed to become the world's AI superpower by 2030, sparking a new arms race with America. Both countries are pouring billions into cutting-edge military tech, including autonomous weapons. AI could usher in a golden age, but without urgent regulation, experts warn we could lose control of artificial intelligence, a prospect, they say, that should scare us all.

I watched another doc about AI and as they say the limit is Technological Singularity...which was really scary.
To develop deep learning 'AlphGo' to master 'Go' was impressive but then to do it again as 'AlphaGo Zero' (without deep learning) and for it to learn itself and whoop AlphaGo 100-0 was really itchy-bum time !
Terminators are on their way !

Just come across this channel. I think he might be a young PW. Can't believe he only has 93 subscribers.

That reminds me of when I was hooked on playing NHL on the PS1 as a teenager, the only game I listened to the intro of every time I loaded it and didn't just repeatably press 'X' to get to the gamejimibt wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 3:18 pmjust love how this version builds all the way til the end....
