Ari Aster may be synonymous with the horror genre, but the author reveals what he thinks is most “scary” in real life: the emergence of AI. Aster told us Mailbox That depending on the technology and the following by “disciples” as it is collected could have catastrophic effects on the world.
“I have a lot of fear for this,” “Eddington” director said. “It is obviously already too late. We are in a race now. That’s how the story of technical innovation has worked: if we can, will we do it. I have bigger questions, you know? What did Marshall McLuhan say:” The man is the human sex organs, “Right? Is this technology an extension of us, are we extensions of this technology, or are it here?
Aster pointed to how those who support AI talk about the technology as if it were a deity as opposite to a tool. “If you talk to these engineers and the people who start this AI, they don’t talk about AI like this amazing new medium; they don’t even talk about it as technology. They talk about it as a GodSaid Aster. “They talk like disciples. They are very worshiped by this thing. Regardless of space that existed between our lived reality and this imaginary reality – it disappears, and we are merged and it is very scary.”
And how “real” AI has become is also a concern for “Beau is scared” director.
“The most unpleasant thing about it, for me is that it is less Uncanny than I want it to be. I see ai-generated videos, and they look like life; They just look real. It goes back to the human capacity for adaptation, “he said.” The weirder things get, and the longer we live in them, the more normal they become. But something big is happening right now, and we have nothing to say in it. This is how we go. I can’t believe that we will actually live through this and see what happens. Holy cow. ”
Aster’s latest function “Eddington” has traces of paranoia on technology. The film Is canceled in 2020, but Aster explained how it “feels as relevant – if not more relevant – now” with its 2025 edition.
“I wanted to make a movie where everyone is foreign to each other and have lost a larger world outside themselves. They only see the dimensions in the small world they believe in and distrust everything that contradicts this little bubble of security,” said Aster and quoted the social effects of the Covid Pandemin. “We have all been trained to see the world through some windows, but these windows have only become stranger and stranger. Look at what happened to the internet. It used to be this thing that we went to, but now it is something we continue with us. We live on the internet now.”
He added the ensemble, “all these characters are cyborgs, in the same way we are all cyborgs. While we made this movie I referred to the one” screens: the movie. “With each scene the question was:” Is there a way to integrate screens here? “The problem is, the more surrounding things, the less obvious they are, and the less strange they seem. not A society. Although they are in the same room as each other, they live on completely different levels. If anything, hopefully, the effect is that all these screens will be calm. I wanted them to be as pervasive as they are in real life. ”
