@@melmel007 thank you

So sorry, John. I completely understand. My wife is my everything.

@@Imhotep70 thank you

What a powerful test of the Human Spirit. It's a thing that we all wish to never have to take, but you did and Love lives in and with you. 🙏 You are an example to others of what is possible. 💖 The last 3 months of 2021 gave me a test...my mother died in October, a good friend followed a few weeks later, another good friend's mother passed a couple of weeks later, then a dear friend of nearly 30 years had a massive heart attack due to his artery being 99% blocked, and another dear friend was diagnosed with late stage 3 lung cancer. By New Year's day I felt like the emotional weight of a pyramid landed on my back. All of this is a clear reminder the only true thing in life is that this instant is all that is given. Live it. Love it. Share it. The next instant my not arrive, so do not waste this one. 🤗

@@ColeMayes I am sorry for your losses and glad you have found a way to continue.

This is such an amazing compliment! Thank you so much for checking it out. We also just released another short in November called 'Threshold' if you have time/interest, please check it out! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rqyqksed1K3clKs.html

Thanks so much for checking the film out and for the kind words!

My sympathies to you sir. I lost my first wife 28 years ago it took me many years before I could love again . My current wife understands that I never wanted to ‘forget’ my past and once a year around xmass I lock myself away with a bottle of whiskey and some cigars and just spend the day remembering my first wife , don’t get me wrong my current wife and I have led an amazing life and have two grown kids , but I still need to morn , probably due to guilt, the fact that when my first wife needed me the most , I wasn’t there . You take care mate and remember this - you may have only memories But wow what great memories they are - . R .

I'm so very sorry for your loss, but I'm so glad that somehow this little movie found its way to you and gave you a sense of peace. Thank you

Thank you so much for the kind words!

A I will be a convincing facsimile but the real person will be dead.

lo siento muchisimo tio

Definitely not the first person to say they've cried! Thanks so much for checking it out!

Excellent! Maybe they couldn't get rights to that song.

LOL very good point!

Priorities! We were shooting people out into space before we got around to laptops.

That's what I was thinking!

Many, many thank yous! We're definitely working on getting into that arena! If you have time, please check out our most recent short 'Threshold' kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sMxzhqh6zbCZemw.html. Thank you!

Fingers crossed! Thanks for checking it out!

The question is: what is consciousness? Can an AI be awake? And when, what is the diffrence? Ok, the woman died, but her personality is still living in this Android. When our technology arrive this point, our ethicians will get smoking heads! What is with beaming? The original will be destroyed, while a perfect copy is build. What is now the original? In the case of this story this question is easy to answered. Edit: after I read the post again: If the AI is manipulating us in this way, we have much more other problems... Of course we don't know what subroutines divides this android from the original human being.

omg i was wondering the same thing. like the whole thing is a ploy from the tech company to get people to buy their products.

I think that's the twist, with her facial expression at the end

lol missed opportunity!

lol

I was thinking a deep deadly voice "You're mine now"

@@ralphacosta4726 Writer/Director here. You wouldn't believe how many people asked me after they watched if it she was going to go berzerk and murder him :)

Thank you!

It can feel and love. His wife's consciousness was uploaded to the synthetic body. I just wonder does that mean man has cheated death period.

His wife's mind transferred into the machine.

Who says machines will never be living, feeling, loving partners? If I understood this video correctly, his wife just had a change of address when she moved into a synthetic body. While the technology to so something like that is beyond the current state of the art, there is no known scientific reason it couldn't be done. I would actually do it now if there were a practical way. I'm getting yet another migraine headache, my back always hurts, my thinking has become less crisp, my heart and lungs aren't working very well, I always feel zombified from insomnia, and I generally feel crappy most of the time. I'm not even old yet. There are many things I would like to do but just can't. So yeah, if I could move into a different body where I could get long breaks from thinking about pain and go have fun, I would do it even if it were metal and not human looking. People who romanticise getting old, pain, and death either haven't experienced pain or come close to death or can't confront their terror of it so they trick themselves into thinking it is good. While moving into a synthetic body might be a way to become almost immortal, I'm not sure I would want that, but 1000 years sounds about right right now. After 10 long lifetimes, I'd re-evaluate and possibly pull the plug, so to speak. If possible, I might be more inclined to have myself saved in digital format with a request to be brought to consciousness in a few thousand years. That should provide a whole new world to explore.

I'm not so sure this is about death so much as quality of life. John F Kennedy died, but Gabby Giffords lived. mostly. Our science is changing our relationship to death. If something happens, and your body becomes stable but unable to function, and someone offered you the chance to transfer all your memories, all your emotions and thoughts into a new body and they promised you would think and grow just as you would have... [An impossible decision for someone else to make for you.. monstrous to do such a thing without your consent. ] How hard would you have to think about your decision?

Now she can drive to Mama's house.

Yeah. Sweet, too.

Thank you!

Thank you for watching it!

Your face is a bit puffery.

Agreed, It's hardcore Trans propaganda... It started with 'normalising' Transvestites and Transsexuals and ended with the Neo Beings of Planet Terra greatly replacing humanity... Progressive Trans Movement pushers are the worst kind of progressives that deserved to hated and feared for the shit they push.

@@PrivateSi The conspiracy theorist speaks!

@@dr.jamesolack8504 .. Hardly a secret conspiracy, the Trans-inhumanist agenda is everywhere and overt brain transplant attempts have been covered by the MSM and covert brain transplant research has been uncovered over the years as ultra-progressive regimes fall.. There are those in the overt private sector openly receiving donations to work on the issue.. -- The Trans Agenda is out in the open now.. We have gone from protecting athletes from the horrors of being forced to use testosterone (ie. rampant abuse in the Soviet Union) that saw many athletes change sex involuntary and/or commit suicide, to now trying to allow sex-change men to compete in women's events... All out the open, as most of what were 'conspiracy theories' now are.

Thanks for checking it out!

Many thanks for checking it out! We also released another short film in November! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rqyqksed1K3clKs.html

100%

Thank you for watching!

Thank you so much!

We definitely wanted to make it seem like it was this 'next step' for the company to be able to provide the physical form. After that, I thought that considering the way that we have to pair our bluetooth devices to activate and such that it would make sense if we did something of this level that it would require something similar. Thanks for checking it out!

Well I was wondering why he brushed his teeth before breakfast....

Thank you so much!

@@MarqueeLouisville Anytime! 😘

Thank you!

@@MarqueeLouisville What is the relevance of the blackbird? And is the suboptimal image of her on the screen due to it representing her true consciousness, not just an avatar or computer representation of her? I don’t know about you, but I don’t have a clear photographic type image of me in my mind. I have a feeling of me, but it’s actually not that similar to my external appearance & if I were to manifest externally the way I feel internally, it wouldn’t be a clear image.

@@allisonjames2923 Writer/Director here! The Blackbird itself is an excerpt from a poem I loved. The idea with the pairing sequence was sort of a security measure I put in so that there were no unnecessary mistakes while the upload was happening. You nailed the idea of why there's a 'suboptimal' appearance. The device is translating her thoughts and consciousness to this tablet and the idea was that it wouldn't have a clear cut image because it's not a web/zoom meeting with her, its just the abstract idea of her consciousness coming through. Thanks for checking it out!

@@mikethompsonfilm Very thought provoking, Mike. Well played!👍

Yeah, I think that was supposed to be a joke between them as he giggled and then went to eat his cold cereal.

@@Mardi-Shorts-DevonGirlUK Yes---thought that was too obvious to be an error!!

I was thinking further back. It seems pretty close to an episode of The Outer Limits from 95 or 96. I miss the voice of Control. I think he died recently. One of my all-time favorite narrators.

Thank you!

@@mikethompsonfilm You're welcome. As a filmmaker myself, I appreciate great work. :)

Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks for checking it out!

I don't think it's AI, i think it's the wife's actual consciousness being downloaded into a synthetic body while her real body dies

Thank you!

This almost felt like plagiarism to me.

Thanks for checking it out!

That's kinda the debate really with the husband and the internal debate I had when writing it for sure.

More like 50 years... Brain transplant research is well funded covertly, sometimes even overtly, with publicity.. Gene Therapies and other regenerative biotech are also advancing rapidly. Memory transfer may not even be needed, but backups and clones would be desirable for mental-case elites.

I’m sure it’s being worked on as we speak. The theory that we are all living in a simulation is that this may have already happened thousands of years ago and what you and I experience every day is merely an algorithm that’s running through a complex computer somewhere and our bored descendants are tapped into it and living their lives as though they are observers living though our experiences.

@@Traderjoe .. Simulation Theory is the biggest load of bunk since 'God Did It' was uttered by every lame-brained God Believer... It's the biggest insult to reality and physics out there, as bad as Creation 'Science'.. It's for thickos who want to not believe in God overtly, but deep down they really do, even if they don't realise it.. Or they have a desire to be trans-humans (neo beings addicted to 'enhancements' and 'upgrades') - neo gods.. Those that try to show the odds of us being in a simulation as 'high' are like Creatard PREACHERS, twisting and warping facts and reality to suit their agenda (usually making money through spouting USELESS, demeaning theories).

Excellent question. I have same impression now.

Look at her face after she said "Hey stranger."

Thank you for watching!

Except that the Matrix was so bad I couldn't sit through the whole film.

@@mandolinic Not every movie is for everybody!

@@snoopy0155 You're right! In fairness, that thought needs a well-deserved upvote (sorry I've only one to give you).

@@MarqueeLouisville I think you mean kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rqyqksed1K3clKs.html your link goes back to blackbird.

Thanks for watching!

our stomach is part of our brain system.

The new body came with a roll of duct tape.

this is a sad world. males should have been designed more like praying mantids. after a single mating, we get rid of them. no more crappy jerks. that would be a very good world.

A man and a woman are one. A man, a woman and a blackbird are one.

I guess because it was representing her true consciousness, not just an avatar or computer representation of her. I don’t know about you, but I don’t have a clear photographic type image of me in my mind. I have a feeling of me, but it’s actually not that similar to my external appearance & if I were to manifest externally the way I feel internally, it wouldn’t be a clear image.

@@allisonjames2923 That doesn't really make sense. If it's a commercial product, they are going to focus on quality and product presentation. In the real world. Once marketing saw the grainy rasterized image, they'd have talked to a manager, who would have given engineering a job to do. It's details like this that spoil a story a little.

@@loughkb Read enough into anything and you can rip it to shreds. You’re over-thinking.
