5 reasons to watch the new series “Olivier and the Robots”

______________________________

Assess your chances against artificial intelligence

Already, marketplaces are full of all sorts of gadgets to turn your cozy kopeck piece into a “smart home”. Therefore, it is difficult to imagine what awaits us in 10-20 years, when a refrigerator, a coffee maker, and even a meat grinder will acquire artificial intelligence. In the episode “Olivier and Robots” called “Introduction”, the main character (the opening of 2022, Askar Ilyasov from “Patient Zero”) will come to meet the parents of his beloved girl. The situation seems to be simple, but it turns out that the relatives died long ago. But they managed to digitize their consciousness, turning it into a “smart home”. It is obvious that technological progress will quickly stumble upon the conflict of fathers and children. We do not call for dreaming about the digitization of consciousness, but it’s definitely worth looking at what chaos there is a chance to come to if the surrounding space is made too intellectual. And at the same time think again: maybe, well, this “smart home”?

Look at your favorite actors in an unusual role

“Olivier and the Robots” is made on the principle of an almanac, so all six episodes are not connected in any way. Moreover, each series has a stellar cast. In the short story “The Trial”, Irina Gorbacheva plays the main role, and she plays a very serious lawyer, albeit in an absurd trial. The heroine’s client broke the coffee machine, but he is on trial for murder. The fact is that in the near future “intelligent” household appliances will become a full member of society, which means that its life should be protected by the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

At the same time, an ordinary teacher from the “Teacher of the Year” series will experience the consequences of a medical experiment. As an innovative treatment, the girl will be transplanted with part of the brain of an MMA fighter, which will lead to unexpected consequences. The teacher is played by fragile Olga Medynich, whom we certainly did not expect to see in the ring. Gosha Kutsenko, Egor Koreshkov, Nikita Kukushkin, Yulia Topolnitskaya and even Leonid Kanevsky are also involved in the project. Yes, yes, he will definitely tell about “a completely different story”.

Think about your career prospects

Technophobes like to talk about how the widespread introduction of robots into our lives can lead to mass unemployment – the mechanisms perform the same actions and do not complain. In addition, they do not take sick leave and do not go on maternity leave. Here it is worth recalling an example from a history textbook: when manual labor was replaced by machine tools during the Industrial Revolution of the 18th-19th centuries, the laid-off workers declared war on them and tried to destroy the equipment. A similar situation will happen with the hero of the novel “Braveheart”. Instead of the usual courier (Nikita Kukushkin), his work will be performed by a delivery robot. As a result, the unfortunate hero will be without a livelihood. However, he will find a way to feed himself, and at the same time take revenge on the hated robots. Watch this episode, laugh, but evaluate your own professional perspectives. Suddenly, you are also easy to replace at work? No need to wait for this to happen, but start acting right now – learn something new and develop. And no robots are afraid of you!

Get a boost of positivity

In turbulent times, we all need positive emotions. Especially in winter, when daylight hours are short and blood levels of vitamin D drop below zero. Yes, yes, read studies about the direct relationship between the level of this substance and our psychological state, and just general well-being. The easiest way to cheer up is to watch a good comedy, and even with actual humor. “Olivier and the Robots” is one of those!

Check if the predictions come true

Ah, this is the fun part! Maybe you remember how in October 2015 everyone discussed the materialized and not so predictions from the second part of “Back to the Future”? The classic film was made in the late 80s, but fantasized about the fall of 2015. For example, flying cars to this day exist only in prototypes, but we use video chat technology everywhere (oh, those annoying working zooms!). Of course, we do not expect that everything that the creators of “Olivier and the Robots” invented will someday turn out to be our reality, but who knows? It is better to prepare for the incredible now and … be careful with the coffee machine!
