it's a movie, not a prediction. it didn't have to be "real".

but eventually we'll get there. eventually. when? dunno. and the "when" question is really the important one, right?

and the only answer is "don't know".

the most important caveat, however, is that we might well go extinct before "eventually" ever comes. indeed, probably.

i guess we don't know, but i'd say extinct is not self-aware.
