I'd like to change the world | Peter Weyland TED 2023

Peter Weyland has been a magnet for controversy since he announced his intent to build the first convincingly humanoid robotic system by the end of the decade.
Whether challenging the ethical boundaries of medicine with nanotechnology or going toe to toe with the Vatican itself on the issue of gene-therapy sterilization, Sir Peter prides himself on his motto, “If we can, we must.” After a three-year media blackout, Weyland has finally emerged to reveal where he’s heading next. Wherever that may be, we will most certainly want to follow.
Conceived and designed by Ridley Scott and Damon Lindelof and directed by Luke Scott.

Sir Peter Weyland's 2023 Ted Talk is considered one of the most pivotal moments in Weyland Corp history. It launched the man and his entire world view into the international spotlight, foreshadowing the rapid and legendary rise of what would become the world’s largest, most successful company.
ABOUT PETER WEYLAND
Sir Peter Weyland was born in Mumbai, India at the turn of the Millennium. The progeny of two brilliant parents; His mother, an Oxford Educated Professor of Comparative Mythology, his father, a self-taught software Engineer, it was clear from an early age that Sir Peter’s capabilities would only be eclipsed by his ambition to realize them. By the age of fourteen, he had already registered a dozen patents in a wide range of fields from biotech to robotics, but it would be his dynamic breakthroughs in generating synthetic atmosphere above the polar ice cap that gained him worldwide recognition and spawned an empire.
In less than a decade, Weyland Corporation became a worldwide leader in emerging technologies and launched the first privatized industrial mission to leave the planet Earth. "There are other worlds than this one," Sir Peter boldly declared, "And if there is no air to breathe, we will simply have to make it."

Guy Pearce is so underrated, there were no crowds or anything other than a film crew on set when he did this, it was all green screen. Yet he absolutely sold the idea of the young Peter Weyland Hell-bent on remaking everything and everyone in his image the way he thought the world should be. If this had been the actual start of the film "Prometheus" it would have been so much better.

[@myjdogz]

Would have made the whole movie

[@punk_nugget]

The closer the Alien story can be brought to Earth, the better for this series. And behold the great Guy Pearce.

[@sandirennowjeesmt1494]

He speaks with passion.But it's because of people like him that destruction will find us one day.

[@analienfromouterspace]

People like him often find disappointment in humanity where they see the masses always busy in time wasting, manipulating, and deceiving of the true ideals of life. Imagine why robotics will become the future because the inadequate demands of society and unforgiven intolerance on mistakes that are severely punished. Once robotics advances so much, there wont be needs of society, or its freedoms, it will be quickly discarded. All that remains are the handful who are happen to have access to all the knowledge they can get to make a logical decision. Remember that, all this will happens only at the brink of humanity demise.

How do I keep missing these? Guy Pearce is a brilliant scientist and I am glad he is finally getting recognition for designing Peter Weyland.

[@LoveMaskedBandits]

If you haven't, check out his movie called Lockout. My favorite of his. Wish he could've been in more movies.

[@UncleFishbits]

This real world video was released on October 8, 2012. The actual in-movie date of this Ted Talk is February 28, 2023. BUT... it's apocryphal, because he says "we are now 3 months into 2023", which would actually suggest April? So Happy Weyland Ted Talk day, whenever it is! =)

[@jimmy2k4o]

Peter wetland was always a man ahead of his time Maybe it was nearly midnight and 2023 isn’t a leap year. If it was broadcast live and filmed in Long Beach CA, USA, it be march 1st for most of the world at that point. And for people who didn’t watch it live but in the hours and days afterwards it would seem more impactful and less like they’re watching something old x

[@lorddiosliving]

Are you splitting hairs like that!!??.. who cares Weyland industries reached to the engineers and found the most ancient answer we wanted to know.....

[@yoloswaggins1579]

Peter was great this year. Can't wait to see what he comes up with next.

[@samblight8141]

Glad I got into the alien series now in 2023 bc this is immersive asl

[@lilithblackmoon619]

if fire is knowledge, then knowledge is pain and the trick is not to show it, but for David this is not true, David feels no pain, that's why he watches that scene from Lawrence of Arabia all the time, David has to pretend it hurts . David is the "alien" from Prometheus and Alien: Covenant

Every movie is always so abhorrently wrong where we will be from a technological stand point in any given year. We are ALWAYS behind.

[@Harrydoc02]

We’ve got ai now. I mean we’ve always sort of had ai. Google, Siri, the whole lot. It’s scary how fast it’s growing to the point you can scan someone’s voice and replicate it. Not only that we can use ai to create images out of words. It’s mental. So we’re not too far off. Honestly Peter weyland feels more like Elon musk as each day passes😂

[@darthdragonborn1552]

I mean the actual movie with all the space travel and android shit is in 2093, not 2023 like this Ted talk. I have a feeling well be doing actual space travel decades before 2093. If not definitely the ai

[@Harrydoc02]

@@darthdragonborn1552 well to be fair to humanity we are going at a fast pace with technology. Just there a few days ago India launched a probe to the moon for 45 million dollars. That’s less than most blockbusters made today. That doesn’t add to anything but it’s honestly so impressive that they made it quite cheap. So to go back into space travel before 2093, we really don’t know the advances at the moment. I know for one thing there is a hypothetical plan to send lightsails powered by lasers that will go 20% the speed of light to our nearest solar system alpha centuari. It will take the sails 20 years to reach there and since light takes 4 years to reach us from there we have no way of knowing whether any of the probes survive. Exciting but risky. Ah well I’m sure we’ll figure it out
