A lot has happened since my
4PM post of my day, and as it's after midnight I'm posting the update.
I happened upon a channel of a charming Bulgarian gent who presents fantastically informative and entertaining video shorts on YT named exurb1a. Each video is engaging, humorous, and packs an impressive amount of thought-provoking info into tiny 4:30 features.
But what absolutely blew my mind was my realization that this was the very channel which birthed the wonderful 4-minute sci-fi short about artificial intelligence that inspired me to start a thread on
The AI Singularity and Transhumanism back in March of 2016!
Better still - the fellow published a sci-fi book of his own which readers call engaging, thought-provoking, philosophical, deep, and humorous. I'll definitely be picking up a copy.
I've put together a channel of 12 of my favorite 4-minute features, ending with the aforementioned AI short film, dubbed "27".
Check them out. You will hate them.
