When he and Bruce left the lab Ultron didn't even *exist* yet He angrily asks Bruce afterwards "Were we anywhere close to an interface?", i.e. the scepter wasn't even actually fully plugged into JARVIS yet, JARVIS was still trying to figure out how to actually do that

I mean, he was working on a being he'd considered entrusting the future of humanity to, using technology he barely understood (to the point I believe no one really knew Stones were a thing at the time). You'd think some absolutely unprecedented security would be called for.

Actually, what role do Ultron level AI _have_ in Thanos' power structure? Why would he and the Chitauri even have such a thing given that neither the THOR or GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY movies indicate that AI are any sort of big deal in the wider universe?

They didn't make an AI, the "AI" is built into the way the Mind Stone works and always has worked since the Infinity Stones were created in the primordial chaos The Mind Stone contains the fossilized remnant of the mind of the being who died to become the Stones or whatever

The Scepter is an "interface" built by some ancient civilization to contain and harness the Mind Stone's mind to perform relatively simple parlor tricks like Loki's mass hypnosis

If the Mind Stone was a.) created from a sentient being and b.) formed in the Big Bang, this implies that the consciousness is from Malekith's civilization?

Replying to @cymaiden @arthur_affect and
in the comics the stones *predate* the big bang, they come from a universe that existed before this one they (and galactus and the celestials?) are the only surviving *things* from that universe, whereas iirc malekith's dark elves were just the *first* things in this universe

the movies are a bit fuzzier on the timeline, which is good bc there's no indication that asgard or the dark elves are *billions of years old*, but merely the first / oldest civilizations in the current galactic era the actual oldest being in the mcu is either ego or mr knowhere

I recall THOR THE DARK WORLD saying that the Dark Elves are from before the current universe and hail from a reality of pure darkness or something.

Entirely unrelated to the topic at hand but damn, Disney did Malekith and the rest of DE so dirty.

Yeah Christopher Eccleston says he personally remembers almost nothing about what the Dark Elves' whole deal was in this movie even though that's what all his lines were about
