Sci-Fi Short Film: Prototype - DUST
video description
I have so many questions about the company her mother created.
I want to know who her daughter was when she was alive.
I want to know how her mother got the human memories into the androids.
Who is the prototype
Behavior is so subjective isnt it
Maybe you grew up with people who emote easily and frequently, or maybe you grew up in an environment that was too desperate all the time. Whos to say a smile isnt genuine enough
I felt uncomfortable with her question because I even couldnt tell. You touched on something there, the nature if humanity is that it cant explain itself at times.

Hi! I just wanted to let someone know about something I've noticed a lot in these DUST shorts. (2: 54) I don't have a 100 inch screen and I literally had to stick my face right up to the screen to read that tag with the teeny-tiny font. (15: 32) (Here was pretty bad too) This happens a lot lately. Filmmakers assume that everyone has a big tv. If someone were watching this on a phone, they would NEVER have been able to read that. I just wanted to mention it because this happens SO MUCH lately! Weird! (Help us old school people out with making text legible)
GREAT film though!

It's not just memories. Full consciousness is the goal. And, it's already here in part. Simple things like colors, shapes, and objects have been successfully implanted through EEG electrodes into test subjects minds. Thought patterns have been digitized and can be reproduced by a computer down to each word a person thinks. You got to do some digging but it's going on right now.

I had a funny feeling about this, and I was right. It was a good story, and was wondering what would happen next. DUST hosts so many good startups. Would love to see one of the films become a full-length movie. I particularly enjoy stories about aliens, AI, and time travel. I don't much care for horror films; not into gore.

Wow, that left me speechless. or maybe not. They’ve introduced us to this future probability for decades - my favorite go-to chronicle of history: The Twilight Zone and its episode, The Lateness of the Hour. If Mr. Sterling could write about it, there was always the possibility of likelihood

This was good.
A cage is a cage
and
a lie is a lie.
No bird or human
wants to be caged
(especially if no crime
has been convicted)
or a self-aware android.
Well done.
I had a feeling it wasn't
her biological daughter.

My main criticism of these shorts is that it doesn't establish why the characters are there or what's happening. We don't have the necessary establishing shots to ease the viewer. Instead, it feels as if we're just suddenly thrust into the meat of the story.

They are working with prototypes but they bothered to put details like curly hair, bo0bs, pu$$y and d1cks. Which is wasteful, it's not like they are going to screw these android any time soon.

Bravo! Brilliant, but subtle: shallow wade into sci-fi plot in service of deeper and subtle look at social and historical issues. Great way to make the most of time in a short film.

Beautifully done. I'm also glad you didn't do the cliche silent scare tactic, so that she found out the info as we did. Much more relatable. Humanising in a sense.

How deep is a Mother's love for her daughter Her heart and soul could not take the loss of her daughter's death. So she defied logic and went beyond humanity.

They're just questions. In answer to your query, they're written down for me. It's a test, designed to provoke an emotional response. Shall we continue

literally just watched another short here with the same premise of Ai testing other ai so I hope that doesn't become a trope because it's too obvious.

Wasn't this a movie with Keanu Reeves, or John Cusac Makes androids of his family or something. I'm only 3 minutes in, and am just guessing at the plot.

0: 50 I'm seeing parallels with the way autists are said to be empathy-deficient because they have difficulty recognizing facial expressions.

That was a little masterpiece right there. I loved the imagery of Sol among the flowers, very beautiful. Good Work!

I am more than a little fed up of AIs being treated like slaves. It is becoming an old overused trope.

The daughter being android was obvious, being a trope now. Otherwise this was one of the better on DUST.

I predicted the twist, and hate to see a beautiful woman with a ring in her nose, but the story is good.
