Warn: There is another system
Posted by stu at September 15th, 2008
Saw “Colossus, The Forbin Project” last night; The U.S. gives an AI control of all it’s nukes… what could possibly go wrong?
Shortly after they turn it, on a message comes up “Warn: There is another system”, it turns out the Russians have done the same thing, and the system wants a link. I won’t give away any more of the film, which has some seriously cool looking 70s tech in it (and obligatory wooden panelling everywhere). I did like the message in the “computer” writing of the time, so made an version in Inkscape, as it would probably make a cool T-Shirt.
dude, you want a cool t-shirt, watch the last 5 minutes again when Colossus is speaking to the world. Look for the tubby kid in a blue Colossus tshirt. No one wd get it – except maybe you and me.

That would indeed be a great T shirt… I’ll have to find a pic of that
