Say I make a video. That video contains some bit of wisdom that you'd like to investigate further: a story, a test, a manipulation, an engagement; something that resonates with you that merits your attention.
At the end, or even at various points throughout the video, links pop into existence, directing you to the information you seek. These are the pathways of the web. To be linked is to be live.
It seems like advertizers are begining to notice too.
The text database is there; the video is not. We, however, as a re-recorded generation, are beginning to amass a database of intimately human knowledge and experience that, while not entirely universal yet, will eventually function as a much more unbiased and categorecal version of our own minds.
Sounds like a blockbuster to me.
We are so concerned with artificial intelligence that we can't see the beast we're creating.
I, for one, think it will be benevolent. Maybe it might even teach us something.
