These beautiful floating works of art are meant to teach us about our future with machines #tedtalks

Taking cues from soft robotics and the natural world, conceptual artist Anicka Yi builds lighter-than-air machines that roam and react like autonomous life forms. Her floating “aerobes” inspire us to think about new ways of living with machines — and to ponder how they could evolve into living creatures. Watch her full TED Talk:

    Can we not just solve hatred world hunger and homelessness?? So sick of this tech sector bullshit

    • @madhatter113

      Hatred is hard because it’s a feeling embedded in our code. Homelessness and world hunger are personal not collective or global problems. Poorness does not impose itself on anyone. Poor people choose to be poor and remain poor.

    No thanks. We dont need fake creatures with fake “curiosity” when we have children working in factories. Fix civilization before building AI nonsense.

    Did she say something about “one drop of blood is enough“?

    I know, she may not have said it

    But I felt a sense of déjà vu about her

    For what purpose, exactly?
    This is extremely redundant and, quite honestly, terrifying
