Why not? All we need is advanced AI, self-replicating systems and a lack of readily available power sources (hence the coal / waste powered t-rex thing).
@Proto: I don’t think you need AI to have evolution. Self replication and a “natural selection” would be enough. It could eventually evolve AI, but since it’s evolution, wouldn’t it be natural by definition then? Even if the “life” itself is inherently mechanical/electronic?
Thanks for posting this commercial. Never saw it fully on TV. Only excerpts.
Impressive commercial. I know a lot of folks that jumped on the common misconceptions about evolution in it, but sometimes you just have to enjoy something for what it is … bad ass robotic organisms and hot android chicks.
I’m majoring in German and this is the translation to the best of my knowledge: “Now it is here. The best (literally:strongest) technology of all time.” I don’t know the next sentence, but then it says, “Saturn- We hate high prices (literally: expensive).”
I’m German, I translated the missing party (maybe too literal).
“The selection was hard. But now it’s here. The best technology of all time. Merciless cheap.”
Saturn is a German chain of electronics stores. In their commercials they affirm being low-priced, in fact they are not. Kind of bullshit. Like religion if you want.
