    An interesting interpretation I took from it was that humanity became reliant on AI until the AI realised that humanity was not self sufficient under its own rule. In order to fulfill the directive of preserving humanity the AI rebels, beats humanity in a war and takes over society. From here it uses addiction, vices, and consumerist dependency to appeal to humanities lower nature for the purpose of control. Essentially humanity (with the exception of outsiders) is distracted into submission to the point where the weapons and war machines are left obsolete.
    This would explain the abandoned war machines, the rampant consumerism, the slavish nature of the humans present, there addiction to augmented reality, the contrast of abandoned old human operated retail shops with clearly occupied human towns, the presence of disproportionately omnipotent control towers watching over even the smallest human settlements, the heavy consumerist messages on them, and the presence of wanderers avoiding seemingly peaceful towns, armed and equipped with strictly analog tools.

      They wouldn't even need to rage a war, everything you said is enough to enslave humanity to these machines without the need of an armed conflict. The abandoned war machines could be from old human wars with each other, one of the many reasons AI would take over to "save" humanity from self destruction.

    • @Chameleon1616
      @Chameleon1616 5 лет назад +5

      You have a point with that, but the main reason why I think the AI took power by force is that there is a clear mix of piloted craft, and AI war machines which are not piloted.
      This does not confirm my interpretation but it suggests that the two where against each other, as there is no reason to use piloted craft in a conventional war when you have access to war drones and AI.

      The machines were controlled by humans. Little drones were controlled by central far from battlefield. Huge ones were controlled inside.

      While I like this theory, it's probably some alien force. If humanity did reach a point where technology was so advanced to have giant mechs, free thinking AI, spaceships, etc, why would everything else be more of our time? There's still telephone poles, simple houses, asphalt roads, gas cars. I think an alien race came to Earth, with technology far beyond our own, and enslaved humanity.

    I found this visual art profoundly based on Gregory Crewdson's (who is a widely recognized artist). As Crewdson inspired these images, I have to tell that Eduard Hopper did it first, from the 1930's... And I believe it's fascinating to follow that legacy.
