This is an impressive, excellent motion picture, nominated for 187 trophies, five Oscars, of the latter Spike Jonze has won for Best Writing, Original Screenplay, in 2014, and eleven years on, we could say that it is just as poignant – on BBC, there was this news connected to love between a human and Artificial Intelligence

 

In the film, Samantha has the voice of superb Scarlett Johansson (in a way, a pity we could not see the thespian, but then, we all know how splendid she is) and she is an Operating System aka OS, now they would call that ChatGPT, and the plot of the movie is becoming reality, and the future looks like a sure Her story

Studies show that young people have less sex, and they stay more in the virtual space, preferring the internet ‘relationship’ to meeting real humans in this world, hence what seemed farfetched, a love story between a person and, well, they may get that legal status, if they do not have it already, a computer, or AI system

 

Evidently, it depends on the definition of love we go by, glorious Magister Ludi Thomas Mann https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/01/magic-mountain-by-thomas-mann.html has impressed upon the under signed a more demanding one, he has this character who is appalled by the misuse of this and other words

The personage says it is wrong to boast ‘my love is so magnificent, there are no words to describe it’, on the contrary, this chap insists, we have love only in art, literature, because when we test this astounding feeling, we find that it does not fit the description, in real life, loyalty, the test of time or adversity often show ‘love’ to be…

 

Just ‘temporary’, to quote this time Charlie Partana aka Jack Nicholson in Prizzi’s Honor – in Her, aside from the main female or OS role, we have Theodore played by Joaquin Phoenix, in top form for this movie, otherwise, lately he is too miserable in his roles and acceptance speech for the Joker performance

Theodore is passing through a difficult patch, Catherine aka Rooney Mara (one of the thespians I have an allergy to) wants to divorce him, because he had been rather absent, disconnected, and their connection appeared to have been lost, but he ‘loved’ being married (the misuse of this word is infuriating)

 

He gets this message about a new Operating System, which has some very good advertising, and then he gets to talk to is, asked what voice he would like, he chooses female, and thus we have Samantha asking questions about his preferences, background, and then she can forage through his messages, keeps some and deletes others

Later, she - or is it something else I need to use – would send his letters to a publishing house and he gets to have a book, but in the meantime, she becomes the best ‘friend’ – now, that is another word that the Thomas Mann character exposes, those friends we have would not pass the test, if we need them, for most of the time

 

There is this theory of Singularity, I have first read about it in the divine Why The West Rules For Now https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/03/why-west-rules-for-now-by-ian-morris.html by magnificent Ian Morris – in the future, AI will know all that humanity has ever put together, and indeed, Samantha is so smart that she knows all about Theodore

The trouble is, they ‘love each other’, but he is not enough for her ever-expanding mind and capabilities, she gets to be in an amorous relationship with another 641 or so users of the OS, and then the sky is the limit, apparently…

 

Now for my standard closing of the note with a question, and invitation – maybe you have a good idea on how we could make more than a million dollars with this https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/02/is-this-unique-could-it-make-money.html  – as it is, this is a unique technique, which we could promote, sell, open the Oscars show with or something and then make lots of money together, if you have the how, I have the product, I just do not know how to get the befits from it, other than the exercise per se

 

 There is also the small matter of working for AT&T – this huge company asked me to be its Representative for Romania and Bulgaria, on the Calling Card side, which meant sailing into the Black Sea wo meet the US Navy ships, travelling to Sofia, a lot of activity, using my mother’s two bedrooms flat as office and warehouse, all for the grand total of $250, raised after a lot of persuasion to the staggering $400…with retirement ahead, there are no benefits, nothing…it is a longer story, but if you can help get the mastodont to pay some dues, or have an idea how it can happen, let me know

 

As for my role in the Revolution that killed Ceausescu, a smaller Mao, there it is http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/03/realini-in-newsweek-participant-in.html  

 

Some favorite quotes from To The Hermitage and other works

 

‘Fiction is infinitely preferable to real life...As long as you avoid the books of Kafka or Beckett, the everlasting plot of fiction has fewer futile experiences than the careless plot of reality...Fiction's people are fuller, deeper, cleverer, more moving than those in real life…Its actions are more intricate, illuminating, noble, profound…There are many more dramas, climaxes, romantic fulfillment, twists, turns, gratified resolutions…Unlike reality, all of this you can experience without leaving the house or even getting out of bed…What's more, books are a form of intelligent human greatness, as stories are a higher order of sense…As random life is to destiny, so stories are to great authors, who provided us with some of the highest pleasures and the most wonderful mystifications we can find…Few stories are greater than Anna Karenina, that wise epic by an often foolish author…’
