The start of March saw the release of the first set reports from various journalist’s time on the set of Alien: Covenant. Since then more set reports have been trickling out from other set visits, some with new snippets of information but a lot of it has been the same quotes from the cast and crew of Alien: Covenant.
This latest set report from News.Com.Au is largely the same but it comes with a brand new still of Katherine Waterston as Daniels and we’ve gotten our hands on a better quality version of the still.
“Waterson is already being described as the “new Ripley”. But while clearly fit, she lacks the muscle definition of Weaver’s groundbreaking action woman.
“I wanted to be fit to be able to handle anything Ridley threw at me but I didn’t think about it aesthetically because she is not a soldier, she is a terraformist,” she says.”

Yeah, I thought that was interesting. An unfinished product. Still in the tweaking phase before we get to the iconic xenomorph.
Well it is the first step towards what we see in Alien.
Spanish interview with Bichir.
however, what's the thing here is that artificial intelligence is only part of the 'problem'. ridley talks about creativity, and the thing is though, for that, you thus need artificial creativity. intelligence and creativity are not the same, and don't neccesarily need eachother. for example, an intelligent human being can lack severely in creative skills or any creativity whatsoever.
then, a highly creative person can really lack intelligence.
the spectrum thus doesn't stop at artificial intelligence, which science seems to be halted at for quite a while. the creativity aspect is missing, when the creativity aspect is reached, then you suddenly get a whole new world at your feet. dreams, visions, etc.
that is exactly what ridley is talking about.
David is an artifcial intelligent being, but he lacks the creative part as far as we have seen untill now.
the question is, can this creative part actually be learned without the need for programming or human research?
If he is talking about David, or is he talking about reality?
The question is, if a wheel wasnt invented yet, and David walked somewhere and he trips and rolls down a mountain, would his chip/brain be able to understand what happened and would he be able to come up with the idea of a wheel invention?
If yes is the answer then he would or an a.i. would be capable of writing or rewriting his program or instructions.
When this in reality becomes real, then you could have a Skynet thing, because when an a.i. start seeing things as in efficient and non efficient, then shit gets real.
like he's just some bumbling moron sat in a chair ranting incoherently and waving his hands around , grunting as the artists , set builders and actors etc etc just interpret what he might mean , all giving each other confused looks when he is not watching them .....
I'm more than certain ..... given how he directed Alien and Faught for the spacejockey to be built ( even having it commissioned in secret ) that Scott is more than aware that the jockey ship , pilot and chair have aesthetic differences when it comes to Alien and prometheus .......
we have all seen the set picture that matches the ships tunnels from Alien so I think the differences in juggernaut presentation so far were intentional
