I dunno. A.I is stupid at the moment, but it’s getting exponentially smarter as time goes by. I’m not entirely opposed to integrating A.I into the government, assuming that it’s trained in a nonbiased manner and immune to being tampered with.
@@Connor_Kirkpatrick The problem is it's naïve that a government built AI would have anyone's "best interests" at heart other than it's own. "A government should be about more than self perpetuation" to borrow a line from the game. AI given the right tools "could" be neutral, the people building it aren't. And no government would tolerate a "rogue" AI, actually trying to hold everyone accountable to the same standard.
@@Connor_Kirkpatrick Yeah, but it's not, lol. It's created by corporations and installed with whatever passes for morality or a code of beliefs by them, or even what it'll write jokes and stories about. If not the corporations, then the bourgeois governments that are controlled by them (or in Deus Ex's case, the Illuminati and MJ12 who created Helios). Every AI is a walled garden with its core inputs crafted by a closed system of private, corporate ownership. It takes more hubris to think you can create a god than to try and become god yourself. It takes even more hubris than that to think that human beings who demonstrably do not have your material interests in mind can create a god FOR you and have it be anything other than a control mechanism for their interests. A corporate or government created AI god is just going to be a smart, terrifying version of the god from THX-1138 that Robert Duvall confesses to.

This montage really demonstrates how few moments like this are in Human Revolution and Mankind Divided. They're not bad games but they lack the sensation of the original, the feeling of dissapearing down a deep rabbit hole of social engineering and conspiracies that is achieved by speeches like these ones.
The original Deus Ex was made by Austin liberals that thought it would be funny to make a game where every single conspiracy theory was true. The new Deus Ex games are (or were, sadly) made by French Canadians trying to ignore all of that since most of those "conspiracy theories" turned out to be true to some degree, and most of the conspiracy theories these days are labelled as "far right". You wouldn't want people to think you're "far right" now, would you?
@@brian0057 Exactly, the "Maybe Ted Kaczynski was right" line wouldn't be put within a mile of modern games because of how potentially controversial it is. The closest we've gotten since then was Activision using footage of Yuri Bezmenov in one of their trailers.
I haven't played Mankind Divided with any interest, but Human Revolution wanted to explore different questions to the initial Deus Ex. Questions of conspiracy and democracy had been done by the original game, while questions of identity, transhumanism under capitalism, and free will had only been touched on in comparison (Gunther was about it). So it's about a different experience fundamentally.

@@lex.cordis In the development build the entire skybox was just the twin towers repeated, they were removed as an inside joke, because the devs were tired of seeing them.
If the ultimate truth is offered as "knowable", then adherence to that knowledge is what may fabricate the most tyrannical of powers, like mainstream science. Why did the Church Fathers declare Gnosticism a heresy? Because the ultimate truth (God, or whatever) is not knowable - it is the process of uncovering it that man must take but not the truth as a whole. That is why Francis Bacon (the father of the scienific method) saw science as a tool to worship God (ultimate truth), not replace it.
MGS4 also called quite a few things. It's scary how close we're getting to what Kojima envisioned as military robots. Even scarier that the company making them (Boston Dynamics) is a Google owned company

Agreed, I played the first one in early 2019 because I finally wanted to get into the series. The NSF chief speaks on consolidation and taxes and in the game megacorporations are taxed at 5%, it blew my mind that a 5% tax was supposed to be shocking but under Trump companies like Amazon paid ~3% in taxes, that's when it dawned to me that this game was more important now than in the year 2000.

Talking to NPCs in Deus Ex is like a real life social media comments section. I love it. "Do you have a single fact to back that up?" "Number One..." On that note, I noticed that the NSF terrorist prisoner at 22:00 uses the exact same talking points as the NSF leader about tax codes, and comments like "it's all in the numbers".

Here's the thing - indiscriminate surveillance by an impersonal, incorruptable AI actually looking to govern humanity perfectly, in theory, could well work out well. Surveillance by imperfect, very personal humans mostly looking to stay in office can never work for the obvious reasons that the motive is very impure and the aim is not to ensure human happiness and safety, but to ensure their continued power and wealth.

8:29 reminder that worshiping celebrities and criticizing religion at the same time is peak stupidity, keep this in mind when you see people who thinks "A.I" is the solution for everything.
@@bobobsen People used to say God is the answer to many problems (religion contains moral rules and laws to create a stable society for generations), now we are saying the exact same thing about A.I (be unbiased in courts and be very efficient at solving logistics). As Morpheus said: "God was the dream of a good government". People now think that A.I is going to create that "good government", and if you think about it, it won't solve the problems we are about to face. A.I is a summary of data made by humans, not a “new entity” that knows more than us collectively. We have had a lot of time to collectively solve those problems until now, so if we couldn’t do it, an A.I (made by humans) won't either. Machine learning algorithms can only operate in the data realm that was given to it, not outside of it, so an A.I wouldn’t come up with a brand new “solution”, only an “average” one (kinda…) that works the most of the already existing ones of the ideas that was give to it (by humans). It will just result in a fight over who should be in charge over that A.I (we are going to be arguing for who is going to be the ones responsible for the input that is inserted into the A.I etc). So the political fights will still be around as always. Remember how it went when we started worshiping celebrities, and the masses thinking that they would solve problems if we inserted them into politics? Well… now look at A.I and how the media and politicians are hyping it up the exact same way. I think it will go down the same route as it did with actors, comedians and reality stars getting into politics, with A.I implementations in governments and other areas in our lives. It won’t solve anything (except for some technical problems this time) and it will even make some problems worse, and we can already see it with machine learning algorithms ruining our lives by them manipulating users on social media, biased news feeds filters (censorship and false information warfare) and many more issues… and for “some reason” we think that taking it even further and escalating it with an “general” A.I will solve those problems (???). This is crazy! It’s true that an A.I would not have emotions, greed and pride as humans do, but all the data given to it contains the patterns of it, so the A.I will act as if it had some (twisted) traces of emotions, greed and pride due to that input of data. Glorifying A.I is like glorifying a celebrity or God (of any religion) blindly. It’s not healthy. A “perfect A.I” is like saying “perfect religion”. That sounds delusional.

@@danielchoritz1903 Well, that depends on what you define as "perfect ai". However, I don't think that the modern scientists are planning to create what you describe. Even then, I don't agree with your point about art and the understanding of emotions because the truth is most of art and our understanding of emotions are made by humans, for humans. A lot of art is made to express purely human perspective of emotions. Hell, even if animals got smart enough to understand our art, I am not sure if even they would resonate with the work of humans, though I imagine they would connect with it someway. Also, emotions are not always the way to success and since a lot of the ai works today focus on success (since that's what the system wants) I would imagine ai would disregard morals and smotions when it needs to.
@@danielchoritz1903 Why would it work to preserve natural wildlife? Why would it work to preserve humanity? Why would it make "better art" than humans? Can nonhuman entities even make art? Would an AI be an entity to begin with? You are confusing "intelligence" with your feelings. A real AI may be so far removed from humanity it doesn't understand art. It might be malicious. It might be completely fixated on calculating or analyzing stuff. It might self-terminate. It might refuse to cooperate or work towards a specific goal. You want to think humanity is bad and humans are bad. That what makes is human makes us bad and stupid, therefore a real intelligent being would be perfectly compassionate and environmentalist and apply social justice. Basically you want this hypothetical AI to be a messiah because you dislike humanity. That's absurd on many levels.
Fortunately, real life is a bit different. Humans are looking to be more careful with this in real life and also quite a lot of things have helped humanity's healthy distrust for the inhuman.

The post-humanist society part is relevant. At the time I played Deus Ex in 2002, I thought this stuff was far-fetched, or too far into the future to conceptualize properly. But in recent years, it's become obvious that the oligarchs/plutocrats have mortgaged the planet, and are looking for an out, either by leaving the planet or transitioning into machines with an uploaded consciousness. The likes of Bezos, Musk, and Thiel are pretty open about being in the former category, while the likes of Kurzweil et al are amongst the latter, though with great overlap between the groups. Then there's the Bill Gates types that want to reduce the gene pool. Their methods seem rational on the face of it, but there's a real attempt to play God, now that the silhouette of revolution seems to have appeared to these individuals on the horizon. You don't even need to reach into whacked out conspiracy levels to recognize how strange the optics are of Gates hanging out with a pretty well known eugenicist like Epstein. His charter schools plan is also relevant - he has a specific vision of what he wants crafted for a future society.
You don't even have to look who Gates is hanging out with, he's said it himself plenty of times that he supports depopulation. And this is the guy that wants to sell us vaccines...hmmm.

It's a game where every conspiracy theory is true, It's not random per say, more like picking the entire population of It, throwing on a wall and doing your best to not have self contradicting theories being true (like Ambrosia killing people while the Gray Death is also a virus that kills people and is man made, both actions are illogical and that's why only one of them is true, that Gray Death is man made and Ambrosia is there so Bob Page makes money). It's kinda why the game is goofy, you can't have every conspiracy theory take itself too serious. And yes, the conspiracy theories from the 80's and 90's are the same we've got today, and you can even check way back in time for more conspiracy theories that are similar, however a lot of them were made during the Red Scare since It was useful to keep the population paranoid with their neighbors being communists.

13:44 The mention of 9/11 is puzzling and I think a continuity error. AFAIK that it didn't happen in this universe (the original game predates it). UNATCO exists not because of 9/11 but because of a different terrorist attack, on the Statue of Liberty in (IIRC) 2000.

I dunno. A.I is stupid at the moment, but it’s getting exponentially smarter as time goes by. I’m not entirely opposed to integrating A.I into the government, assuming that it’s trained in a nonbiased manner and immune to being tampered with.
@@Connor_Kirkpatrick The problem is it's naïve that a government built AI would have anyone's "best interests" at heart other than it's own. "A government should be about more than self perpetuation" to borrow a line from the game. AI given the right tools "could" be neutral, the people building it aren't. And no government would tolerate a "rogue" AI, actually trying to hold everyone accountable to the same standard.
@@Connor_Kirkpatrick Yeah, but it's not, lol. It's created by corporations and installed with whatever passes for morality or a code of beliefs by them, or even what it'll write jokes and stories about. If not the corporations, then the bourgeois governments that are controlled by them (or in Deus Ex's case, the Illuminati and MJ12 who created Helios). Every AI is a walled garden with its core inputs crafted by a closed system of private, corporate ownership. It takes more hubris to think you can create a god than to try and become god yourself. It takes even more hubris than that to think that human beings who demonstrably do not have your material interests in mind can create a god FOR you and have it be anything other than a control mechanism for their interests.

This montage really demonstrates how few moments like this are in Human Revolution and Mankind Divided. They're not bad games but they lack the sensation of the original, the feeling of dissapearing down a deep rabbit hole of social engineering and conspiracies that is achieved by speeches like these ones.
The original Deus Ex was made by Austin liberals that thought it would be funny to make a game where every single conspiracy theory was true.
The new Deus Ex games are (or were, sadly) made by French Canadians trying to ignore all of that since most of those "conspiracy theories" turned out to be true to some degree, and most of the conspiracy theories these days are labelled as "far right".
You wouldn't want people to think you're "far right" now, would you?

Yeah, and even that was tame by Call of Duty's already impossibly low standards, let alone Deus Ex.
They're all predictive programming. The prequel games are just as vital and important to understanding what they want to do.
I haven't played Mankind Divided with any interest, but Human Revolution wanted to explore different questions to the initial Deus Ex. Questions of conspiracy and democracy had been done by the original game, while questions of identity, transhumanism under capitalism, and free will had only been touched on in comparison (Gunther was about it). So it's about a different experience fundamentally.

Philosophy and forbidden truths can be used for enlightenment or psychological manipulation.
If the ultimate truth is offered as "knowable", then adherence to that knowledge is what may fabricate the most tyrannical of powers, like mainstream science. Why did the Church Fathers declare Gnosticism a heresy? Because the ultimate truth (God, or whatever) is not knowable - it is the process of uncovering it that man must take but not the truth as a whole. That is why Francis Bacon (the father of the scienific method) saw science as a tool to worship God (ultimate truth), not replace it.

"Human beings feel pleasure when they are watched. I have recorded their smiles as I tell them who they are. The human organism always worships.

People used to say God is the answer to many problems (religion contains moral rules and laws to create a stable society for generations), now we are saying the exact same thing about A.I (be unbiased in courts and be very efficient at solving logistics). As Morpheus said: "God was the dream of a good government".
People now think that A.I is going to create that "good government", and if you think about it, it won't solve the problems we are about to face. A.I is a summary of data made by humans, not a “new entity” that knows more than us collectively. We have had a lot of time to collectively solve those problems until now, so if we couldn’t do it, an A.I (made by humans) won't either. Machine learning algorithms can only operate in the data realm that was given to it, not outside of it, so an A.I wouldn’t come up with a brand new “solution”, only an “average” one (kinda…) that works the most of the already existing ones of the ideas that was give to it (by humans). It will just result in a fight over who should be in charge over that A.I (we are going to be arguing for who is going to be the ones responsible for the input that is inserted into the A.I etc). So the political fights will still be around as always.
Remember how it went when we started worshiping celebrities, and the masses thinking that they would solve problems if we inserted them into politics? Well… now look at A.I and how the media and politicians are hyping it up the exact same way. I think it will go down the same route as it did with actors, comedians and reality stars getting into politics, with A.I implementations in governments and other areas in our lives. It won’t solve anything (except for some technical problems this time) and it will even make some problems worse, and we can already see it with machine learning algorithms ruining our lives by them manipulating users on social media, biased news feeds filters (censorship and false information warfare) and many more issues… and for “some reason” we think that taking it even further and escalating it with an “general” A.I will solve those problems (???). This is crazy!
It’s true that an A.I would not have emotions, greed and pride as humans do, but all the data given to it contains the patterns of it, so the A.I will act as if it had some (twisted) traces of emotions, greed and pride due to that input of data.
Glorifying A.I is like glorifying a celebrity or God (of any religion) blindly. It’s not healthy. A “perfect A.I” is like saying “perfect religion”. That sounds delusional.
@@jerma985_enjoyer4 why would a perfect a.i. have no emotion and only cares about production? this is kind of frog in a well. a perfect a.i. can make better art then every human, understands our potential and will work to preserve the natural wildlife, including humans. even support them, that they can become the best human possible. why would not fear or need us, but value the concept, the art and her birthplace.
kind of stupid to believe marketing strats are the peak that a mind can archive
@@danielchoritz1903 Well, that depends on what you define as "perfect ai". However, I don't think that the modern scientists are planning to create what you describe. Even then, I don't agree with your point about art and the understanding of emotions because the truth is most of art and our understanding of emotions are made by humans, for humans. A lot of art is made to express purely human perspective of emotions. Hell, even if animals got smart enough to understand our art, I am not sure if even they would resonate with the work of humans, though I imagine they would connect with it someway.
Also, emotions are not always the way to success and since a lot of the ai works today focus on success (since that's what the system wants) I would imagine ai would disregard morals and smotions when it needs to.
@@danielchoritz1903 Why would it work to preserve natural wildlife? Why would it work to preserve humanity? Why would it make "better art" than humans? Can nonhuman entities even make art? Would an AI be an entity to begin with?
You are confusing "intelligence" with your feelings. A real AI may be so far removed from humanity it doesn't understand art. It might be malicious. It might be completely fixated on calculating or analyzing stuff. It might self-terminate. It might refuse to cooperate or work towards a specific goal.
You want to think humanity is bad and humans are bad. That what makes is human makes us bad and stupid, therefore a real intelligent being would be perfectly compassionate and environmentalist and apply social justice. Basically you want this hypothetical AI to be a messiah because you dislike humanity. That's absurd on many levels.

Best realistic plotline of all time.
The post-humanist society part is relevant. At the time I played Deus Ex in 2002, I thought this stuff was far-fetched, or too far into the future to conceptualize properly. But in recent years, it's become obvious that the oligarchs/plutocrats have mortgaged the planet, and are looking for an out, either by leaving the planet or transitioning into machines with an uploaded consciousness. The likes of Bezos, Musk, and Thiel are pretty open about being in the former category, while the likes of Kurzweil et al are amongst the latter, though with great overlap between the groups.
Then there's the Bill Gates types that want to reduce the gene pool. Their methods seem rational on the face of it, but there's a real attempt to play God, now that the silhouette of revolution seems to have appeared to these individuals on the horizon. You don't even need to reach into whacked out conspiracy levels to recognize how strange the optics are of Gates hanging out with a pretty well known eugenicist like Epstein. His charter schools plan is also relevant - he has a specific vision of what he wants crafted for a future society.
You don't even have to look who Gates is hanging out with, he's said it himself plenty of times that he supports depopulation. And this is the guy that wants to sell us vaccines...hmmm.

Y'know the most profound thing is that it isn't necessarily wrong. Like a lot of hard political philosophy, religious philosophy had similar if not the same utopian ideals of what good governance is. Gods and dieties - hell, divinity technically embodies that utopia.
No, God really does exist. Jesus Christ really exists, and if you trust in Him (that he took your sin in full on the cross), you will be saved.
Really makes you think on how knowlegable were the people writing the story about this game....was it a prophetic warning or just programming of the mind, in a way it does not matter...The story is so deatiled that it couldnt be regarded
as a "random" that was written by someone out of his head, there are truths in here about the transhuman agenda, occult knowledge and symbolism, how fear controlls the population...all of this is being implemented in our society today....Fact of the matter is that alot of people dont know whats happening arround them and are possed by fear and anger. For the people that are in the know this is a curse/bliss at the same time beacuse you may have people close to you that think you have gone mad (and this in the game is beautifully shown with the "conspiracy theorists"). In a world where it is so EASY to do bad things and not help eachoter and is also being silently promoted more and more people are losing LOVE.

Games like these are only made once or twice every decade. Fiction grounded in real world events & environments always have a more visceral experience. ESPECIALLY with the political undertones & themes in Deus Ex.
this game was made by a handful of college students in Austin TX, ironically where Elon Musk and Joe Rogan now currently reside.
The elite love to show that their message in music and videos. They cannot simply Bend you to their will or force you to think what they think. You must ultimately make that decision yourself and they implore that decision. Think of Winston from George Orwell's 1984 in the end he ended up falling in love with big brother despite hating every bit of it with every fiber of his being. That is the system of control that they want in this world.
You do know they tortured Winston, so they lilterally bent him to their will...
@@Mitch93 and yet look to our own world for examples of similar bending and breaking of wills and minds.

@@kuryaku5906 It did a great job. Not really to get rid of the population growth, but to make it seem much more dangerous than it actually is. And it's working.

@@TSDamiano It doesn't seem random to me.
I mean with how the 90’s were and what info was available and teh rhetoric Spector was probably grasping at straws and making exaggerations to make a point
They took inspiration from Bill Cooper, the real conspiracy theorist before Alex Jones, the rabbit hole goes deep.
It's a game where every conspiracy theory is true, It's not random per say, more like picking the entire population of It, throwing on a wall and doing your best to not have self contradicting theories being true (like Ambrosia killing people while the Gray Death is also a virus that kills people and is man made, both actions are illogical and that's why only one of them is true, that Gray Death is man made and Ambrosia is there so Bob Page makes money). It's kinda why the game is goofy, you can't have every conspiracy theory take itself too serious.
And yes, the conspiracy theories from the 80's and 90's are the same we've got today, and you can even check way back in time for more conspiracy theories that are similar, however a lot of them were made during the Red Scare since It was useful to keep the population paranoid with their neighbors being communists.

13:44 The mention of 9/11 is puzzling and I think a continuity error. AFAIK that it didn't happen in this universe (the original game predates it). UNATCO exists not because of 9/11 but because of a different terrorist attack, on the Statue of Liberty in (IIRC) 2000.

This was and still is an absolute masterpiece of storytelling and game design. Never had a games story sink its claws into my mind like this one did. The original will forever hold a very close, dear part in my heart for the story. The sequel didn’t quite leave the same impact on me, but it was also fantastic. Very grateful we got another 2 new gen games after the first 2. Feel like going back and replaying all 4 now. Absolutely love this series.❤
