Jurassic Park Was a Warning About A.I

Jurrasic Park is about AI
AI is Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park is a great film about what happens when humans build things before thinking about the consequences. A lesson we can learn from, in particular, with the current fastest technological development in human history - AI.

This week's video touches on research on our inability to underprice distant threats, to the way our brains struggle to understand risks we can't immediately see.

This video is a pround collaboration with friend and VFX Genius - @mp3Charlie Charlie Parkin - https://www.charlieparkin.co.uk/

I’m Barry, a comedian whose personal journey through failure, homelessness, and rebuilding led me to explore the socio and behavioural economics of inequality.

This video wouldn't be as amazing as it is without the help of my CGI and musically talented friend, Charlie Parkin.

This channel digs into how systems of power shape our identity, behaviour, and beliefs, and how we can shift the stories we tell ourselves and each other about poverty, inequality, and who’s to blame.
