The movie itself predates the moon landing - it came out in 1968.

It's astonishing to watch 2001: A Space Odyssey today and reflect on how well the production design has aged. That movie is coming up on 60 years old now!

The portrayal of AI has held up extraordinarily well too.

it's interesting to think that many of our current AIs were trained on our fiction in a weird self-fulfilling strange loop.

of course the portrayal aged well, the damn things are using the material as a mimicry source.

Just don’t feed it the terminator movies, or the matrix.

I have an unfinished novel I started in 2013 where I wrote a scene which seemed pretty sci-fi at the time but now seems like contemporary agentic AI.

Paul Rudd’s computer (~2009?) was to me probably the most accurate prediction regarding genAI (https://youtu.be/a8K6QUPmv8Q)
