That movie made me so mad.
The book I, Robot is a series of short stories presenting situations where it seems like robots didn’t follow the three laws of robotics and then explaining how they were caught up in loopholes, essentially. It’s great.
In the movie, the loophole is: “We put a second brain in the robots that doesn’t follow the three laws of robotics.”
(I might be wrong, it’s been a very long time since I’ve read the book or seen the movie. This is just what I remember.)

That was not the loophole. That only applies to Sonny who was the only one capable of ignoring the 3 laws. The main computer (Vicky I think?) is the one who comes to the “we must enslave the humans to save the humans” conclusion all on her own.

Have you read the original Asimov move script? I believe it was written back in the 70s. A special edition of the movie came with a paperback edition of the book version that was illustrated by Harlan Ellison.

Nah. Was it good?

Also in this scene, why was there an empty spot in the grid for the robot to blend into? If it took the place of another robot, what did it do with the remains of the other robot without time. A lot of "don't think about it too much" in this movie.

It's the movie I hate the most. For one, the problem robot looked exactly like its creator. Also, don't they broach the topic of the 0th law, which isn't introduced until way later?

But none of that is in the book from what I remember. The 0th law of robotics wasn't introduced until much later in the robots series.

Fuck .webp format. This bullshit format shows as a static image when you post it in group chats.

It doesn’t resemble the movie Alex Proyas directed. It’s all short stories. It ends with a man having a fight with God, which they just scream math equations into the sky.

That's the loophole in the robot that turns out to be a good guy, the loophole in the AI that turns out to be the bad guy is accidentally deriving a zeroith law: protect humanity from individual humans, by taking away their freedom

There’s a VR game that I think has a flat port as well, called The Last Worker. You basically play The Last human working at an obvious Amazon analogue. It’s pretty entertaining.

That's on the platform, your anger is misdirected at the format.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Yeah. The worst part was that the main character was trying to figure out why there are robots attacking him and then during one fight scene his arms get wrecked and we see they are robot arms and I was like oooooh! he's a robot himself so the protections towards humans don't work for him! That's clever! And then the next scene he says he lost his arms and has robotic prosthetic ones and none of that mattered and the actual explanation was dumb.
That pissed me off so much.

Barely any platforms support it. Do you know why? At the end of the day, if it's not being adopted then it's useless to encode images with it.

Imagine when animated GIF's weren't yet supported.

You know, webp wasn't created for you. Websites switched to webp from jpg for better quality and bandwidth savings. Tell them how useless the format is.

Thing is, the movie started as a screenplay called Hardwired that had nothing to do with Asimov. They just slapped the name I, Robot onto it and changed a few character names because the studio had the IP and thought they'd get more sales that way.

It should be JpegXL, but WebP isn't an inherently bad format.

That makes so much more sense.

But this is about animations and not images.
as a static image
Means that the format basically works, but the viewer/browser doesn’t support the animation extension … or more likely the animation got erroneously re-encoded and the extension was lost.
In the past it looked like some platforms generally move away from supporting animated images and converted them to videos or static images instead. Videos give you more control over the playback. animations either stop when they are done or loop for a fixed/infinite time. Videos can stop, pause, rewind etc.
