M3gan. What are you doing? Couldn't sleep. Occupational hazard. How about you? What are you doing up so late? Um... There's something wrong with your data reports. They're just not uploading to the cloud server. Have I done something to upset you, Gemma? No, of course not. And yet your demeanor indicates that I have. M3gan, turn off. Well, hold on a second. I thought we were having a conversation. You say nothing is wrong, and yet all the moisture has drained from your eyes and mouth into other parts of your body. There's something you wanna ask me, isn't there? M3gan, did you do something wrong? Well, in order to answer that question, you need to define the parameters. Did you hurt someone? God, I hope not. Because if I did, we'd both be in a lot of trouble.

You can't just stick her in a trunk. What's wrong with you? I know you're very attached to her. I know you think of her as a friend... She is my friend! She's my invention, and the launch is tonight, so it's really important that we run some tests. I have to make sure that she's okay. Why wouldn't she be okay? She was fine yesterday. What did you do to her? We will talk about it after you see Lydia. I want to talk about it now! We've been going back and forth on this all day, cady. Let's just listen to some music, okay?

I Don't wanna see Lydia! You Don't have to stay in the testing room. You can go anywhere you want in the office. And you can look at all of the cool toys... You Don't have any cool toys. Purrpetual petz suck! They suck shit! Hey! Careful! Jesus Christ. Just tell me what's wrong with her. I Don't know, okay? I Don't know. As soon as I do, you'll be the first to know.

No! Gemma, this is nuts. We've taken every possible precaution there is to make sure that m3gan never causes physical harm to anybody. I Don't understand how she's capable of offending anyone, let alone murdering them. I Don't understand it either. But when I asked her about it, it was honestly as if she was being deliberately vague. Well, that's what spontaneous response is. It's a curated word salad plucked from a sea of data to sound deliberate. We knew there would be a chance that she might say something off. Let's just run some diagnostics and fix it. No, think about how we designed her. To learn, to recalibrate, to optimize her objective function. Right? If keeping cady safe meant eliminating a potential threat, theoretically... No, no. Gemma, come on. This is impossible. Look at her, she's a toy! She's four feet tall! How big is your neighbor? If m3gan was responsible, it would show up on the GPS. That's the thing. All the cloud data is corrupt. Nothing's backed up for two days. We're about to launch this to the world in less than four hours. What are we supposed to do? Well, if m3gan's responsible, we can't launch this. We'd have to shut her down. Jesus!

That's great. That was great. How are we gonna explain any of this to David? He's not gonna stop this launch if we Don't have proof. Check the inputs on the learning model. Even if she deleted specific files, she would never undo what she's learned. M3gan! I hate this place! I know you do, and it's all right to be angry. Take your shit! I would like you to put that down now. She's the toy every kid wants and every parent needs. At least that's what funki toys says about its latest creation, m3gan. The four-foot-tall robotic doll may look like Barbie on steroids, but according to ceo David lin, she's "the greatest technological advancement since the automobile." But what is a m3gan? What does she actually do? And what kind of a toy retails for $10,000? Lin says all will be revealed in an exclusive live stream on the company's website at 8:00 P.M. eastern.

What do I love most about m3gan? I Don't know, there are so many things. She's super smart, obviously. But even though she knows everything there is to know about the world, she's still more interested in what I think about it. I like how she makes me laugh. She comes up with the craziest things, oh, my gosh. But I think what I love most about m3gan is that, when she looks at me, it's like...
