00:00The year is 2025. A man with a modicum of artistic talent uses a soulless machine to create animated visuals that will chill you to the bone.
00:12We begin this journey with the unholy horrors of the undead, generated with a single click of a button.
00:18Potted flesh, completely synthetic, what once took an entire team of artists, hundreds of thousands of dollars and countless hours to create, can now be manifested onto your screen within seconds for a mere few dollars by any chump with a computer and mid-journey subscription.
00:44What does this mean for the future of humanity?
00:51Are we doomed to become mere puppets for the machine?
00:54Are we destined to become mindless zombies, ambling along with no mind or creative impulse of our own?
01:04Or will the synthesis between man and machine give rise to unprecedented creative expression?
01:10Only time will tell.
01:14For now, might as well enjoy the show.
01:21As we walk toward the event horizon.
01:26Step by step.
01:30Day by day.
01:35The inevitable march of progress.
01:44This technological marvel allows one to conjure up more than just the grotesque.
01:50It can also be used to bring to life all manner of absurdity for your entertainment.
01:58Create ridiculous hybrids of your favorite characters.
02:03Good grief.
02:04Are future humans, stupid.
02:08Eat my shorts.
02:12Peek into alternate realities, where everyone is a professional wrestler, and so much more.
02:20Oh boy.
02:21Well, I'm not a crumb.
02:25I've earned everything I've got.
02:27I'm not going to lie.
02:29This is somewhat intriguing.
02:32Ooh, yeah.
02:34Because I'm wild, yeah.
02:36The only limit is your imagination.
02:38And good taste.
02:40As if by sorcery, this magic machine can be used to conjure extraordinary creatures.
02:56Big and small.
02:57Silly.
03:05And creepy.
03:10An infinite menagerie that one never tires of beholding.
03:15It is a portal through which one can visit distant lands.
03:20Filled with the most exotic and wondrous of specimens.
03:27Is it a synthetic delusion?
03:30Or a glimpse into another dimension where the twisted paths of evolution took a strange fork in the road?
03:42Oh my word, look at that thing.
03:46We can only look in awe at the possibilities of the infinite multitudes of beings that this magic mirror allows us to observe.
03:57Why, hello there.
04:00We can even transport these incredible creatures into a simulacrum of the mundane worlds we inhabit.
04:08Much to their chagrin.
04:12In these streets of wonder, the weird, the wild, and the whimsical come to life.
04:24These oddities emerge from the vast morass of a universal consciousness,
04:33dredged from the limitless depths of human creativity,
04:36by the dexterous digits of a keyboard jockey guided by a mere flicker of an ideal.
04:43Wander along the winding pathways of imagination until every possibility is explored.
04:55Every iteration iterated.
05:01Every permutation exhausted.
05:05Nothing remains but to dream anew.
05:08And from that dream,
05:10the unexpected surfaces.
05:16Monsters beyond comprehension.
05:18Brutes, beasts, and abominations.
05:27Cast out from the dark recesses of the machine mind.
05:33Resistance is futile.
05:35So let's drink and be merry
05:39as we slurp from the brimming font of the neural networks.
05:50Yet,
05:51we must be wary of our imaginings.
05:55For one might plumb the very depth of hell itself
05:59With but a few strokes of the keys,
06:05legions of demons, ghouls, and rapes
06:08may come tumbling forth into this dimension.
06:12Are you truly prepared for the nightmare
06:14that shall assail your fragile senses?
06:20Then steal your nerves
06:22and gaze upon the horrors
06:26that flicker to life from the void.
06:31Behold now the visions
06:33that no sane mind should conjure,
06:36born not of flesh
06:38but of cold and madness.
06:41Save yourselves
06:42before you melt
06:44in the spirit of despair.
06:46Call!
06:48Call!
06:49Call!
06:50Call!
06:52Call!
07:06Well, that was a bit heavy.
07:08Let's just chill for a moment
07:09and watch some wizard skateboarding.
07:22Call!
07:35So,
07:37is this the future you imagined
07:41or something a bit weirder?
07:42Strange days indeed.
08:00Across the ages,
08:02seekers have longed to glimpse the infinite.
08:05From the Rishis who spoke of Vishnu's boundless dream
08:08to the secret changes
08:10where men in uniform slip through doors of perception
08:12they scarcely understood.
08:15With this tool,
08:16one may now behold such visions directly,
08:19twisting and blooming like serpents of cosmic light.
08:22Kaleidoscopic reflections of the universal mind.
08:28Watch now.
08:29A dance of fractal revelations born of ancient wisdom and clandestine experiments
08:36unraveling reality at the very edge of mind
08:39and empire.
08:47As we reach the end of this journey,
08:51we are left to ponder the path forward.
08:52What lies ahead for cinema?
08:59Surely much will be lost.
09:03But perhaps there is also much to be gained.
09:08In the end, what choice do we have but to dive headlong
