Streaming and Dreaming

Streaming and dreaming—what an odd phrase. The idea seems to be that video flows endlessly, and indeed, from the two-minute silent films of a century ago, we’ve arrived at streaming’s perpetual motion. As YouTube overtakes Netflix and others as the top moneymaker in film, internet streaming delivers every imaginable type of information and entertainment to a global audience of 9 billion.

So, what’s next? AI’s imaginative potential knows no bounds. Avatars and AI chat lines open up previously unthinkable paths for role-playing in a world of images and make-believe, entering an entirely new dimension. One where AI’s combined capabilities surpass the intellect of almost any individual, while unlocking new avenues of thought for millions. The danger lies in abandoning natural disciplines, losing touch with humanity’s instincts, and in the eternal struggle between good and evil. Who will wield the power of streaming? Will the individual outwit the mastermind? Streaming dreams may yet take us to unimaginable extremes.
