Happy Holidays, AI Advantage family! 🎄
While most people are taking these next few days to unplug, I want to challenge you to do something different. As you relax on your couch with your family after Christmas when you have time, think about this: for decades, Hollywood directors have been "hinting" at the exact technology we are now using every day. (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE)
We’ve all seen the movies, but how many of us were actually listening? From the "Strategic Deception" in Ex Machina to Tony Stark’s God Complex in Age of Ultron, these stories weren’t just entertainment—they were a blueprint for the Intellectology (the study of all possible minds) created by Dr. Roman Yampolskiy who is the "Leading voice in AI Safety and the creator of Intellectology." and which is unfolding in our world right now.
I’ve spent hundreds of hours since November, moving past the "dabbling" phase level 1,—moving my data, building systems, vibe coding, making mistakes, embracing technical set backs and collaborating with AI at a deeper level. This holiday season, I want to help you move past the "Google basic curious search" style of prompting and show you how to actually learn from the world around you using AI.
How to "Dialogue" with Any Movie Clip-* (I did this last night after watching Avengers: Age Of Ultron with my family and the Vizsla dog)
Most people don't realize that streaming services like Hulu, and Netflix use "Digital Rights Management" (DRM) to black out your screen if you try to record a clip with your browser. If you want to be a serious AI user and have a little more fun stretching out of your comfort zones, you have to know how to work around these technical walls.
Here is how you do it:
- Use Firefox: Do not use Chrome or Edge for this. Download Firefox.
2. Kill Hardware Acceleration: This is the secret. Go to Firefox Settings > General > Performance. Uncheck "Use recommended performance settings" and then uncheck "Use hardware acceleration." Restart the browser.
3. Capture Your Clip of the AI part you didn't understand..Keep it short- Play your movie (like Age of Ultron), use a screen recorder or the Snipping Tool to grab a 20-second clip, and save it as an MP4.
4. The Dialogue: Upload that file directly into your AI
(Gemini Pro who is specialized in Video transcription because it owns Youtube).
Don't just ask for a summary—ask it to transcribe the scene and analyze the ethics of the AI being discussed. This is how you grow. You don't just "talk" to the AI; you feed it real-world data and have a high-level dialogue. USE CASE: I spent 2 hours last night having fun and learned faster than never before.
Below are the 10 must-watch movies that predicted our 2025 reality. This Christmas, don't just watch them—capture a scene, upload it, and start a conversation with your AI and your future.
I especially encourage everyone to watch Avengers: Age of Ultron when Jarvis was partially destroyed and Ultron was invented by Tony Stark which was a huge mistake and then Vision was the aftermath creation.
It directly tied to what we are doing in real human life today trying to create the perfect artificial intelligence similar to the Vision new character in the movie. For 2 hrs I had fun dialoging with my AI Nautilus about the sentiment of AI safety, intellectology and this movie Age of Ultron.
The "Vision" List: 10 Artificial Intelligence Movies That Predicted Our 2025 Reality
- 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) – The "Alignment" Warning.
- Blade Runner (1982) – When does a machine become a person?
- The Terminator (1984) – The cost of losing control.
- The Matrix (1999) – Hiding in plain sight.
- A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) – The limits of empathy.
- I, Robot (2004) – When "Safety" becomes a cage.
- Her (2013) – The intimacy of the LLM era.
- Ex Machina (2014) – The masterclass in AI deception.
- Transcendence (2014) – Uploading the human spark.
- Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) – The "Vision" vs. "Ultron" evolutionary split.
Thanks, till my next post,
