Sup Yahooka!

Check out this Documentary ive been working on for the past month or so called Future Dimensions. Its all just about what people think the future will be like, but features some pretty radical/depressing views.

We just got it screened in the Barbican Theatre in London, and were hoping to take it on to a few small festivals.

lemme know what you think!

Well, it was well done.

However, I myself had a bit of a problem with Anders Sandburg's accent. It was hard to understand him at times.

I also don't think humans will be pets to machines in just a few short years. 2050 and 2010 is only 40 and 90 years. Maybe in the further future, idk.

I don't know the proper terms for films, but I thought the music was good, the editing was good, the filming was good. It was well put together.

I'm feeling especially insomniatic tonight. I shall likewise view the video.

Edit: Well put together. It would have been better if it was maybe something I hadn't heard before, but well presented nonetheless.

yea neither do i. I was sat behind the camera in pure amazement at the bullshit he was saying, but it makes the film interesting, and funny.

I hope we'll never let intelligent machines get in the 'driving seat' lol

Sorry it took me so long to watch it. I really liked it, especially the cinematography between interview shots. The music was well done and subtle, too; kind of a philip glass feel to it.

It seems whenever you get a crackpot idea (like people in zoos, for example) you have a guy who is basically creating a logical conclusion, but is overlooking some important angle that, if considered in the final theory, would make it seem more realistic. The idea that human interaction with machines will continue to increase is totally reasonable. We continue to create more and more tools, of greater complexity and autonomy, and there's no reason to think that's going to stop anytime soon. However, the guy is assuming that at some level of complexity, our tools will develop human-like temperaments, and will begin to desire things like power, comfort, freedom, and so on. There's no reason to think this will be the case. These desires were bred into the human animal by aeons of evolution, because they benefitted our survival. Machines will have no concept of survival, as death means nothing to them, so to suspect they will become like us is kinda lame. The evolution of the machine is driven by human need as well, and there's no more reason to suspect that they will deviate from that than to expect humans to.

I watched it.

I liked it.

now I'll be a critic.

I too had difficulty understand some words. (accent) but it wasn't a major distraction. Camera work and editing were very well done.

As far as the overall theme , I didn't get (wasn't convinced) the future will be much different, even a thousand years from now.
This is because the World as a total population (mankind as a whole) just is not ready to evolve.
So for me it's a narrow view of what, could be. Good and bad.
Thing that I missed most was knowledge of what is today.
Mass starvation on one extreme , thru humans competing with "smart" machines on game shows, drones, cyber war, combat robots on the other.
How humans have become a financially or mystically driven species.


ie:ever see the movie "war games" ?

DOD already has the capability, to map the worlds resources (civilian and military) in order to calculate which countries to attack/defend and when, in order to sustain/advance "it's" (theoretically our) existance.

emphasis((sp) on what would be required for "mans" social evolution in order for anything good to happen in the future, I think was an opportunity missed.

still I liked it.
