21:19 "There's no need to panic. This isn't a test."
"You watch a baby with an iPad and you realize these things are being designed to appeal to us before we can even think. It's scary and it's weird and I just don't think we're taking inventory of what it's doing to us." Mommy let you use her iPad, you were barely two, and it did all the things we designed it to do.
You can hear a lot of those lyrics in those interviews, to be honest.
god i admire bo so so so much. it really baffles me how little the builders know about how their platforms completely change how entire generations of kids act and i hope this talk brought some more awareness to how these small decisions can change so much in kids lives
The builders know. Better than anyone, they have the data, they know it.
34:07 what a great question, and what a very important answer. Nice to hear about a director who takes these kinds of scenes seriously.
"A little bit of everything all of the time..."
GOD, I miss his interviews 😢 hes so intelligent and insightful, truly a delight to listen to.
He has balls to go to the belly of the beast and criticise it. It then has balls to keep the video up. Kudos to both 👏👏👏
The beast isn't the world in which it lives. Google, UA-cam, and the rest have varying and ever changing policies on how they handle what they provide, but the beast is the users.
Yeah... a year later... lol.
@@anthoninealexis Did they take part of the interview down or something?
@@dankxng aye better late than never is right.
I can’t believe there’s not more comments here. This is probably one of his most important talks. I’m so glad he was there to give it. I feel like Bo so often
heckin love this man and the introspection he brings whenever he pokes the digital world
35:25 the 30th reason why I respect bo. I've never ever heard a director speak abut explicit scenes in the movies and taking control when being on shot. He is literally the best.
Bo feels unbelievably smart. His 8th grade movie was great for several reasons. And I feel like he is one of the few comics who understand how to navigate the social implications of being a stand up comedian today. He understands that it's possible to say what you want to say but still do it in a way, that doesn't just punch down on people. He seems to understand, that making fun of people isn't really funny, unless it implicates himself or has a criticism of the underlying system. I loathe to use words like cancel culture, because it's less cancelling and more people being held responsible for what they say, but we do see a lot of comedians today cry about how they can't say what they want and blah blah it's only a joke and cancel culture is dangerous, but in Bo we see a pretty great example of how it's possible to be yourself and still successful comedian. It just takes effort and to acknowledge one's own privileges and positions in life.
16:25-18:11 oh go off sis, good jesus. i'm saving this timestamp to myself tbh, what an articulate way to put it all, goddamn
I love listening to Bo talk. He has such a way of verbalizing feelings and high and low-level societal perspectives that I cannot articulate, and I admire his perspective so immensely.
what an incredible conversation!! bo truly said what was needed to be said, love the man! I hope the people in that room at least think about his point of view... 16:29 and omg that moment when after saying f he said "net neutrality" lol what a legend
Bo!!!! I'm glad he's doing okay. ily bo!
When the interviewer asks about Directors that influenced him and mentions all men and Bo says his biggest influence is his girlfriend who is a Director and then goes on to mention a bunch of female directors 🙌
37:18 That is such a good point
Great things discussed here 👍🏻
I love you Bo!!! You did great!
"if you don't express yourself, you are not seen" DAMN bro that struck me outta nowhere
"THIS ISN'T A TEST"
"... a handful of bug-eyed salamanders in Silicon Valley..." I wonder if Bo took that metaphor from this interview
This was sad to watch, he's asking questions on the belly of the beast so to speak, and the intervewer is not answering just going through his list of questions, but tbh I dont know who this questions should go to... whoever invented streaming? IDK if those who made the atom bomb knew what would happen or the consequences, did they care at all?
Oppenheimer invented the atom bomb and he was blacklisted for saying use of the bomb would be a bad idea.
It’s the way in which bo pretty much exposes their company and social media as a whole. Which I’m so proud of him for because it is seriously is dangerous. And the interviewer just dodges a response by asking more questions. That’s how you know they don’t really care about the youth at all or what it’s doing psychologically cause it’s all for profit
The lobby of the hard rock café lol
why the hell are there so many interviews with bo burnham,,, I CANT FIND THEM ALL
I find myself censoring my comments now just like he did there. Yes Google overlord, we know you wield a mighty sword-but maybe you shouldn’t, if you think you shouldn’t, thanks?? Interesting and worthwhile talk none the less.
Cant wait to hear this, couldnt find the full video easy but i see cringey clips with sigma music and im glad i finally found this
He’s so high haha
Bobs Honda! Look at this Honda, disguised as a Sebring.... It's locked.
Man I kinda wish the teenage Bo could just never get older and keep making content, but then we wouldn't have gotten Inside so... Ultimate catch 22
22:11 OH Bo you're about to be so wrong in a years time
i like the way this "bo burnham" guy talks
26:35 this was so funny
4:20 This
Well this was nice.
I'm 34. I think calling people born in the early to mid 80s the same generation as people who only know the online world as their normal life just doesn't work. I feel like it's a lost generation. We made calls on land line phones, we had to use phone books, and real paper maps growing up. There was no outlet to shout at the whole world till we were nearly adults. We grew up in that shift from analog to digital coming neither totally before or after. I certainly don't view the world the same as someone who had a smart phone at 6 years old. The internet to me was that place i could play early online games, and do homework research. I Don't have any accounts other than FB online, an that's basically become an extended address book. Other people my age are totally connected, but regardless of where we are now, this wasn't our norm.. if you were born in mid 90s, the world you we cognitive enough to process was already digital and connected. Things are turned up to 11 by compression now, but it was there by the time you could understand the basics. I don't know what the answers are going forward... Other than.. Put the phone down once in a while. Step back, and actually experience the world, not the echo chamber you hold in your hand, where everyone is competing to be heard in the sea of voices. Be heard by the people next to you.
I mean I was born in '90 and nothing you said was any different to me growing up... The internet may have also "come out" in December of '90, but you know as well as I do that the internet up until the late 00's is not at all what it is now. lol. We still had to use paper maps, still had to use phone land lines. Remember dial up?
@@dankxng by the time you were old enough to have a memory of events, mobile phones were becoming common and not just a rich person's car accessory. AOL was a thing. Instant messaging was in it's early years. It makes a difference for that to be what you knew all along. Sure region to region it may be different, and if your family could afford those things. Point being, if you were born before a certain line, they weren't at all in your early life at all, not even the concept.
@@fartzinwind Again, I dodnt know those things all along 😂 And your years are just a bit off, but it's okay 😆
@@dankxng no, your years are weirdly off. I am a year older than you, and he's right. do you really not remember instant messaging in the early 2000s?
UA-cam and Facebook may not have been around for the general public til 06 or so (and MySpace was around before FB for quite a while, and livejournal before that...), but AIM and AOL, broadband connections and all they enabled, were around and popular well before we were in high school. chat rooms, of course, were big in the dialup days.
everyone in my middle school had a cell phone; five years earlier that might have been something some HS seniors got.
there is absolutely a generational difference between people who were born in 88-92 or so, and people born in, say, 1984.
@@jedinxf7 as someone born in 1984 you're 100% correct. I remember us getting our first computer - I remember when we could finally afford to add 1 gig of storage to it! I remember floppy discs and AIM away messages, and MS Messenger. And my first yahoo chatroom.
I also remember a time before that where I got into a fortunately minor car accident (long story) 15 miles from home in the middle of nowhere and had to drive home to tell my mom so she could call the police. Another time I was driving to my grandparent's house and got a flat tire. I had to wait on the side of a pretty deserted country blacktop for someone to pass so I could flag them down. There were no cell phones. I remember answering machines with tapes! When I was a kid my mom used shredded MS DOS printer paper (the kind with the huge holes on the side to advance the paper by wheel) to stuff my pumpkin costume for halloween.
I went whole days without hearing a phone ring or even having the TV on (this is not necessarily normal for a kid of my times but I'm sure I wasn't entirely alone).
My six year old already knows how to turn on and log into a computer, knows how to use google meet and a stylus. It's a vastly different world.
"Its matrix vs people"

Not to distract from the genius of Bo, but does anyone else hear a real sloppy fart at 4:45?
