HAL is nothing more than cold machinery, a drab symbol of technologies' march, and is whatever we reflect on to it. It's defeat also illustrates that in the end, HAL and similar AIs are not the next step in human evolution and not part of our ultimate fates, we as a species will always triumph over computers. It's a point of view that I actually don't jibe with that well; I stand on the AI functionally eventually becoming sentient side of things, and I don't think Clarke and Kubrick - at least at the time - believed that would ever be possible. --- "It is too easy being monsters.
