Most in the crowd were old, hungry for salvation, gnawing on their memories. It was Peter’s day off, but a man with a gun stood at the entrance. &#8230;]]></description>

Without giving too much away, this video explores something we have discussed before &#8211; the danger AI poses, not to jobs or humanity &#8211; but to our perception of reality.
