The name of my first production company was 8th Dimension Films. Fellow nerds over 40 should get the reference. We even had a logo which I recently found in a box beside a watermelon.

AI is not inevitable. There is a difficult path where we can still avoid the pitfalls. Now, it unfortunately depends on the actions of the laziest species on the planet, but hey... I'm still pulling for humanity. So is Tristan Harris as you'll see in this video. It has fun cartoons, too!

My cousin found a script from my youth (written in the old TV script format). It was called "Night Terrors". We actually shot most of it. On Super 8. Sadly the footage is lost... for now.
