"You might suppose Hollywood is good at predicting the future. Indeed, Robert
Wallace, head of the CIA’s Office of Technical Service and the US equivalent of
MI6’s fictional Q, has recounted how Russian spies would watch the latest Bond
movie to see what technologies might be coming their way.
Hollywood’s continuing obsession with killer robots might therefore be of
significant concern. The newest such movie is Apple TV’s forthcoming sex robot
courtroom drama
Dolly.
I never thought I’d write the phrase “sex robot courtroom drama”, but there you
go. Based on a 2011 short story by Elizabeth Bear, the plot concerns a
billionaire killed by a sex robot that then asks for a lawyer to defend its
murderous actions."
