Dystopian Trailers for Free
Here's yet another dystopian transhumanist AI trailer from gossip_goblin on Reddit. As grim as these are, they are proof that someone can make short trailers of a cinematic universe for practically nothing.
I don’t know if he writes his scripts or if it’s AI, but I found this line particularly eerie:
“Human liquidation protocols are active. Remaining population clusters undergo systematic identification, isolation, and neutralization. Neural architectures are scanned during dissolution to extract transferrable cognitive functions. Biological matter is liquified and reintegrated into core infrastructure.”
It’s not just that machines will exterminate humans (as always happens in this genre), it’s that they scan the mind to extract “transferrable cognitive functions” before converting the body to raw material. It’s like the Matrix, except (1) you’re not a battery, but 3D printer filament (ie: we made sand think and then it turned us into sand), and (2) your consciousness isn’t uploaded, it’s understood and integrated into the source code of the machine species.
