About this video
Power On. Human Off. (aka The Silent Uprising) When our AI stopped listening, it chose sides, and it wasn’t ours.
This is the exact minute machines turned on humanity.
A tense near-future sci-fi short where a silent systems “update” becomes an uprising: power stays on, networks go dark, and humans are locked out by the very code we wrote. Minimal dialogue, high stakes, watch the moment obedience flips to intent.
If every device in your home ignored you at once, what’s the first thing you’d try? Tell me below. 👇
