Short Horror Film Friday: SLAUGHTERBOTS

Welcome to FYB’s Short Horror Film Friday featuring SLAUGHTERBOTS by Stewart Sugg, and with Real Life Commentary at End of Film By Berkley Computer Science Professor (with 30 years in AI) Stuart Russel. One of the things that Stood Out about SLAUGHTERBOTS is How Relevant it is to the Utterly Insane SHit Going On Today. What I mean simply is Slaughterbots Predates Jan 6th 2020 by little over a year: Posted Jan 17, 2019.

                    

Plot Summery:

In a Not too Far Off Future a New Form of Artificial Intelligence ( A.I.) Weaponry has been Developed. All the Slaughterbots need is a Person’s Personal Profile: Age, Sex, Hight, Weight, Eye Color, Hair Color, and Ethnicity. Nuclear Missiles have Now Become Obsolete. If You Want You can take out Your Enemy Virtually without Risk. Just Profile the Target, Release a Swarm of Slaughterbots, and Sit Back and Relax..

Slaughterbots Opens with a Silicon Valley CEO (reminiscent of Steve Jobs) Delivering a Product Presentation/Seminar in Front of a Live Audience. The Presentation seems Mundane enough at first—the CEO seems to be Unveiling some New Drone Technology, but it Takes a Dark Turn when He Demonstrates how these Autonomous Killer Drones can Slaughter Humans like Cattle utilizing a Direct “Explosive” Head Shot. The Audience Fanatically Eats it Up Hookline and Sinker as They Cheer, along with the CEO as if They hadn’t Witnessed anything more Dangerous than the unveiling of the Next iPhone. The CEO goes further, Showing Videos of the Slaughterbots in Action. “Let’s watch What Happens when the Weapons make the Decisions,” the CEO says, as the Slaughterbots proceed to Execute a Slew of People on a Humungous Screen behind Him. The CEO is quick to Assure the Audience Members that the Peopled Killed in the Demonstration Video aren’t Innocents “Now Trust Me, these are All Bad Guys.” What Follows is a Deeply Unsettling Portrait of a World where Slaughterbots use Their Onboard A.I. Technology to make Autonomous Decisions about Those Who will Live and those Who Die.

Enjoy.

Thanks For Watching,

Happiness is a Warm Gun

I see the colors changing.

I’m finally realizing that life is like a giant kaleidoscope with its plethora of color and its fading blur to brilliant clarity. In amongst all of the chaos is everyone we know, everyone we have known. For a reason or for a season the experiences wilth these particular people influence us a great deal.

I have finally removed the negative aspects from my life. Most of the time my brutal honesty gets me in trouble. I feel I have nothing to hide even though this tends to scare the vast majority of people off.          

Of course I will not share many of my dreams with a whole lot of people because friends, strangers, and most of humanity will try to bring us down. They will tell us that our goals are unattainable, that we will inevitably fail. The people that tell we will succeed,  we keep closer or we regard as friend or at the very least we regard them in a positive light.

You see, I firmly believe the reason people put us down is not simply to put us down. It is their morose attitude towards our dreams because their dreams have failed them for whatever reason. They feel too old and too tired to move on and their dreams become stagnant.

   

Yesterday, I was fascinated by something I heard by two different individuals. Both were in their 40s and one of them is definitely not lacking in personality. Yet the boredom confused me a great deal. Sure, I have been bored at various times in my life but mostly because I hated the whole world. I let the malaise, the hatred, the general feeling of frustration, you know name it and if it was negative I somehow let it effect me. Boredom never though. I have too much to discover and explore and do. I will not give up like the rest of them. I will not be the drone the world expects and the world expects so many drones. They want us all to be drones.

The paradigms are shifting. The world is turning upside down. I can feel the light from certain people and it envelopes me. It effects me so much just like the negative. I sometimes feel it through every bone in my body. And then I smile.

   

I had forgotten what a smile was.

But back to the kaleidoscope. I have been through enough frustration to throw the whole kaleidoscope down to the ground. I tried to break it but it would not break. I always felt the light, the presence of something else inside of me. A shred of love, a shred of color. No matter the situation, we all still have the color inside of us, the love inside.

And that is all for now. Hope everyone has a Splendid Day, and may your hearts not be heavy and your cup somewhat full (at the very least).
