A hype edit of Stanisław Lem's 1981 novel Golem XIV is circulating in the AI community: a military supercomputer outgrows its makers, lectures humanity, and goes silent — "I am not a person but a calculation." Music and edit were made in code, using public-domain footage from Metropolis (1927), Prelinger Archives, U.S. DOE and NASA.
