Humans With Amplified Intelligence Could Be More Powerful Than AI_

Humans With Amplified Intelligence Could Be More Powerful Than AI_ | Machinimania | Scoop.it

With much of our attention focused the rise of advanced artificial intelligence, few consider the potential for radically amplified human intelligence (IA). It’s an open question as to which will come first, but a technologically boosted brain could be just as powerful — and just as dangerous – as AI.


Via Jean-Philippe BOCQUENET, vidistar
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

So which will come first? AI or IA?

This article is Sp interesting and explain very fifferntviews of the subject - 


 But as Hemingway said, “An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.” What if drunkenness were not enough to instill camaraderie and mutual affection? There could be a clean “empathy break” that leads to psychopathy.

Richard Viers's curator insight, May 24, 8:52 AM

I have always said that most science fiction writers are prophets, ever since Leonardo DaVinci, Jules Verne, Robert Heinlien and many others stories peaked my imagination, I have realized that anything the mind of man can conceive man can acheive.  We are trully on the verge of realizing many new things that God has given us to build upon our original selves. My name is Richard Viers, and I advocate for Alternative Energy Products Group.

How to find an audience for your indie film

How to find an audience for your indie film | Machinimania | Scoop.it

Frank Rose:  "It's never been easy to market an indie film—but in a blockbuster universe, getting people to care about a low-budget production devoid of stars and lacking the enormous, built-in fan base of The Dark Knight or The Hunger Games can seem all but impossible."


Via The Digital Rocking Chair
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Frank says: "Your community are those people who want your film to succeed as much as you do, and are willing to do anything and everything they can do to help it get there. They are the people who are willing to spend their Saturday afternoon putting up posters for you in their local towns. They are the ones who can’t wait to meet others who share a similar passion for your project. The real value of community is that these are the people who will tell ten others to go see your movie. And there’s nothing more powerful (and inexpensive) than lever­aging the passion of your community."

Het promoten van 'kleine', onafhankelijk geproduceerde films is vaak moeilijk. Hier een schets van een andere weg naar een groter publiek. Productie en promotie van films kunnen door internet en IP tv sowieso niet meer op de oude manier.

“Hitchcock” was recently released internationally, following a relatively tranquil winter run in the U.S. and Canada. It’s likely to be a quiet success.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

The producers of a new movie called “Europa Report” have released a new trailer about their film, which features a near-future mission to Jupiter’s moon, Europa, in search of extraterrestrial life. From the trailer, the film looks to be of extremely high quality, and it stars Sharlto Copley (District 9), with music score from composer Bear McCreary (Battlestar Galactica, Eureka).

And while this is a sci-fi flick, the makers of “Europa Report” say they have steeped it in real science. JPL scientists acted as advisers on the film, and it’s been called “One of the most thrilling and realistic depictions of deep-space exploration since ‘Moon’ and ’2001: A Space Odyssey’” by Space.com

Director Chris Wedge and his team at Blue Sky Studios do a wonderful job on the animation and flow of the film. The scenes in the forest are beautifully created with vivid colors and movement and provide a great contrast to the dreary, dark world of the Boggans.

Wedge's voice selections are also right on the spot, with each actor bringing his or her character to life perfectly.

So you’ve had some ideas for your animation, you’ve worked them into drawings, a script, storyboards and now you’re ready to produce the animation. That must mean it’s time to develop some really diverting displacement activities. Alternatively you could actually make something.
