VIDEO: While everyone is making statements about #immortality, we're telling you a story about the uniqueness of being human in the #Digital era. Our #film is a personal Odyssey through the #tech world in search of answers about dealing with death and loss https://t.co/eUHq8XaYjB
'When people outlive past generations’ life expectancies by years or decades, we’re forced to rethink retirement, aging, careers, relationships, and perhaps even death itself.' https://t.co/uttLPG5FAr via @RWW
'This externalization of poverty doesn’t go away just because we’ve covered our eyes with VR goggles and immersed ourselves in an alternate reality. The longer we ignore the social, economic, and environmental repercussions, the more of a problem they become'
'Taking their cue from Elon Musk colonizing Mars, Peter Thiel reversing the aging process, or Sam Altman and Ray Kurzweil uploading their minds into supercomputers (...) For them, the future of technology is really about just one thing: escape.' https://t.co/qiG2K6jl0n
'No matter how much data you have and how many patterns you discern, your data will never match the creativity of human beings. The universe of possible sentences is too complex. There is no end to the variety of life — or to the ways in which we can talk about that variety' #AI https://t.co/63ITk4tNGB

"We have the technology to destroy the planet on which we live, but have not yet developed the ability to escape it. Perhaps in a few hundred years we will have established colonies amid the stars, but now we only have one planet, and we need to work together to protect it." SH

"They don’t want to be on a subway or train next to regular people . It’s troubling how much they want to isolate themselves from regular people. The solution isn’t to have artificial intelligence take the wheel, but to move people in more efficient ways" #future#Transportation
