This is the reality of what AI companies want for the future: where EVERYONE is unable to function without relying on them for "intelligence as a utility."
In order for them to sell this to us, they need to convince us our brains are never creative, interesting, able enough.
The music was very good, but can I raise you Sir Ian McKellen performing a speech from Sir Thomas More? Thought so.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖
Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.
