The host of National Geographic's Brain Games recently published a mind-bending video combining the technological prowess of artificial intelligence with the artistic creativity of someone who believes in the power of YouTube.
The video is called "Dreaming while awake: a journey into ourselves."
The first art piece of the singularity: born from a human-AI collaboration by Jason Silva, Hueman Instrument and digital intelligence.
I would describe it as similar to Ted Talk and Burning Man. It makes me want to eat a bunch of mushrooms and think about the future.
You can get a weekly recap of our favorite stories.
Take a look.
Silva's Shots of Awe channel features inspiring videos. The human condition and how we create it shapes who we are.
Silva seems to think that our future will come from a dedication to developing human-centered technologies.
In the above video, Silva talks about the nature of being human. He explained that we are both god- and worm-like creatures that can shape the world around us with the power of deity, yet destined for death regardless.
Silva's words exist only for the purpose of inspiration, and that is what it is. It is difficult to describe the point of the video except to say that it is a meditation on perspective and what it means to be human.
