September 4, 2026　　# Movie: Coyote vs. Acme

Watched Coyote vs. Acme, a very imaginative movie that portrayed a hybrid society in which cartoon characters co-exist with humans. The story is about Coyote (a cartoon character), together with his human lawyer, suing Acme (a human-run company), over defective products which eventually are revealed to be a strategy of using cartoon characters as guinea pigs to improve products for humans. Though completely fictitious, this movie, in my view, does have a possible metaphorical meaning for a rising hybrid society of humans and AI (or robots, to make the coexistence more visually comparable). Humans will certainly do what Acme did with cartoon characters in such a society, or perhaps I should say have the intention to do so, since who knows, it might turn out that AI will have the upper hand, and humans will be in a position more similar to what Coyote found himself in in the movie. :-)
