sinners in the hand of a hip god

I kind of slept on the movie "Sinners" - classic horror tropes, but where like Shawn of the Dead had British jokes, this has stylized Black culture of 1932 era Mississippi Delta with all the great music that implies. Great stuff!
Oh goodie - looks like we already have AI succumbing to a baby version of the paperclip problem (i.e. the AI that we make so good at wanting to make more and more paperclips that it breaks down civilization in order to make more of them)... in this case it's AI scripts that ignore requests to shut themselves down, maybe somewhat to be ready to solve more math problems
