00:00Franklin, you more than anyone knows how important this project is.
00:09We're not reaching into an astral plane or into the afterlife here.
00:15Our technology at HGTA allows us to simulate human consciousness.
00:19Like AI.
00:20AI is incapable of giving meaning to its calculations and its predictions.
00:24Our simulations operate using personal experiences.
00:27And words of meaning are used to primer and guide the simulation.
00:31Not algorithms.
00:32Adam?
00:33Sylvie?
00:34I don't know what I'm hearing.
00:35Our minds create a flowing stream of thought, but in assimilation it's much more like a
00:39torrent.
00:40I don't understand what's happening to me!
00:41I'm messing up!
00:42I don't know!
00:43You okay, Pop?
00:44After all my work, my research, and death, and dying, just everything I've learned, I'm
00:45just more convinced that this is nothing at all.
00:46Maybe there shouldn't be.
00:47What do you do with something that you don't know?

01:31Where am I now?
01:32Get out.
01:33Get out now.
01:34I don't want to know what you said to him.
01:35Only aware of what your technology does.
01:36What would you change?
01:37Everything will be okay.
