This guy is the best thing to happen to sci-fi in a long time.
He wrote a banging Halo script 12 years ago and they STILL havent used it. Such a shame.
Here, here.
This series was so, soooooo good! Too underrated.
You needed a bigger than average brain to enjoy this.
@@Indrid__Cold I disagree. Smart, may be, but I think you must first be willingly open.
@@Indrid__Cold huge disagree. i love this show and i'm a moron
They say Chris Nolan is the best filmmaker to come from the UK but this guy is on another level.
Such a great mind.
This show was absolutely amazing. I also love that it’s a one off. Felt more like a 7 hour movie than an 8 episode season.
Devs is like abstract art and Sci fi. It is also interesting that Westworld and Devs are on at the same time and both shows are struggling with a quantum type computer and Determinism.
I'm guessing, it's down to the fact that the major tech companies are heavily developing this level of technology (Google's Quantum AI as an example), that it naturally fits the narrative of both these shows and serves as a window into the possibilities that such technology will no doubt lead to. 🤔
Just finished the last episode of Devs. Such a captivating and thought provoking series. Quite mesmerising. So glad I stuck with it as it just got better and better. What a great interview with Alex Garland too.
Deus Ex Machina
This series literally changed my life. Areas of thought that are so often wall off because we are too uncomfortable thinking about them, and too uncertain about what our conclusions might be. For me the following lines were most significant. "The universe is deterministic. It's godless, and neutral, and defined only by physical laws."
the universe is not deterministic tho. that's nonsense. quantum mechanics themselves debunk the idea of determinism
@@vash47 explain like I’m five please
@@vash47 I've heard it said that it's only non-deterministic (probablistic) at the quantum level. It's determinstic from there up.
I don't have the chops to argue it, though. :D
I agree with everything he said. Now I just need to memorise it so I sound clever when I’m talking with my relatives.
This show is brilliant
Devs is beautifully filmed and a joy to watch, with the plot unfolding at an accelerating pace and so many questions left to answer. Is the future predictable with enough terabytes? Is Pete The Homeless Guy a spy? Is Katie OK or is she an evil corporate hack? I gotta know.
All episodes are on BBC i-,player 👍
I think its clear that Pete is a spy working for the Russians
@@aminetanouyat9643 Ummmmmm, Amine? I wrote those words after the second episode, when I thought Pete was FBI, not Ruskie FSB. See?
@@uprightape100 ah ok i thought you somehow missed the scene where pete explains to Lily her options.. you know
Really loving this guy's work - thought provoking and beautifully shot. 👍
How come no one told me about this show, i literally stumbled upon it and love it.
i could only imagine Alex Garland making a movie like Man of Steel and dealing with the Element of power
Oh that sounds like a great idea. Make it happen!
I hope he will never waste his precious time and mind on flying superheroes.
@@D.A.A.321 what about the Arrival of God on earth as a story?
@@rhatikeo I think he just did.
great show
Best series ever! Thank you Mr. Garland!
Good show!
Loved you're work Alex, also happen to upload some debates with big streamers on scientific wrong doing lately, maybe you find it interesting, dev's was fantastic
Dear commenters:
Dont.
Spoil.
The endgame.
A deterministic world is living art in the purest and truest form. Free from our understanding of flaws or the idea of understanding at all.
Well, fuk me if garland didn't just predict the future, and everything wrong the tech companies would bring.
This was 2 years ago
I appreciate the insight from the series' creator, but isnt a lot of the science he's discussing still in the realm of philosophy ? 'The quote popularly attributed to physicist Richard Feynman is probably apocryphal, but still true: if you think you understand quantum mechanics, then you don't' kinda sums up what I'm getting at. I get that yesterday's sci-fi is tomorrow's reality - just not sure that some of the concepts being discussed here are within the grasp of mere mortals like myself, so I'll just sit back and enjoy the story without asking myself how CERN didnt blow up the entire planet :D
this show was the best sci fi show i have seen so far.
I wonder how he looks at his book The Beach these days?
That was a good Video
This didn’t age well with the malfeasance and group think around the mRNA injections.
Deus Ex Machina (leads to) Annihilation
Alex Harland needs to be interviewed by Joe Rogan
How does their consciousness transfer into the simulator?
I think the show does imply that in truth it isn't their consciousness that is uploaded into the simulator, rather the simulator "recreates" their consciousness by the data it's gathered throughout prediction algorithms.
That's the way I see it. The machine is like a projector, it doesn't create the movie only shows it.
I hope they don't screw up the ending.
clutch2827 they didn’t
Witz Yeah this was a strong show from start to finish
This show started making me fear Elon Musk. I mean... he could actually be doing something like this right now and we'd have no idea.
More like Larry Page. Elon Musk actually fights against this.
Deus ex Corporate Monolith
talented man and humble; im interested he gave us the warning about the level of ambition in these Godlike tech companies and that they need regulated. They say they are secretly 50 years ahead of where we the peasants think they are. I think Time Travel is possible by now.
it's 2023 now... so I guess you were right. We travelled into the future.
zaddi
Indeed, Alex, except that the 'regulation' is very often a power grab by self-interested political and military-industrial elites who should be trusted if not as little as tech-magnates, even less so.
The power that needs to be checked is that of the people making the biggest fuss about checking it 'for the greater good'... which is actually alluded to in Devs (the senator).
They pretty much are monarchies.
If you believe we are living in a simulation-like
If you believe free will is a illusion(in the context of determinism) -comment
Thanks.
I didn’t like much of the early part of the first episode and may have given up had it not been written by Alex Garland so I stuck with it purely because of how much I enjoyed The Coma. So maybe I don’t always give TV shows enough time. I gave up on Game of Thrones after 2 episodes whereas I gave Batwoman about 10 minutes so sometimes I do get it right and sometimes I get it wrong and not following Devs through would have been a mistake.
Tell my why i thought the thumbnail said “Fortnite”
.
Deus is great
Just done with the show, there is no alive to do sci better than Alex
.......and then you find out the US dollar is just paper and not actually worth anything
Big Tech needs to be broken up.
I'm curious, how should we expect tech progress then? From being ancient people to nowadays - our progress has been happening through uniting and knowledge sharing.
smart man, pretty bad series. paper thin characters, the ephemerality goes awry and leaves a lifeless result. interesting concept but underdeveloped as a script.
Whaat? Have you seen the series?
LOL
agreed. still enjoyed it
Now tell us how the hell you thought it's a great idea to cast Sonoya as the leading role? I think it was big insult for the actual actors in the show, as for acting as a profession. Preposterous. Wonder what she did to deserve that part
