I want to watch it, but at the same time, it’s basically going to be an advert for Google. I’m not sure if I can put up with the uncritical fluff.

I would love to see a real (ie outsider) filmmaker do this - eg an updated ‘Lo and behold’ by Werner Herzog



It was directed by Greg Kohs, who is a real filmmaker and does not work for Google.


Yeah I don’t mean to say they’re not a real filmmaker or untalented etc, I mean more the context they’re doing it. That they’ve chosen to cover this topic themselves, and that they would show critical angles of it and not just promo + hagiography


Are you saying this movie production wasn't paid for by Google? If it was, surely he did?


oh it might have been paid for by Google for sure.


Like 99.99% probability, sure. Greg's previous big feature was on Deepmind's AlphaGo, three years after its Google acquisition.

They do a great job capturing the "Move 37" moment: https://youtu.be/WXuK6gekU1Y?t=2993


It's an advert for Demis Hassabis, not Google.
