# I am Alone



AI-generated; not human-verified. Timestamps are approximate.



An animated video featuring a seal with human facial features speaking philosophically on a beach about obsolescence and loneliness, accompanied by a tropical drink and other seals.



## Timestamped description



[00:00–00:10] A seal with animated human eyes and mouth speaks in the foreground of a sandy beach next to a tropical cocktail. Other seals lounge and flop around in the background by the waves. Kinetic subtitles appear on screen. Melancholy accordion music plays.

[00:10–00:20] The talking seal continues speaking. A seal resting behind the cocktail stretches its head forward to sip from the straw. Dynamic subtitles display in the center.

[00:20–00:30] The background seals shuffle away across the sand, leaving the talking seal alone beside the cocktail as it delivers its final remarks.



## Speech transcript



[00:00–00:06] Speaker: My niche hobbies and the information I accrued researching them were the only social currency I had.

[00:06–00:11] Speaker: People tolerated my company because I had answers they could not easily find elsewhere.

[00:11–00:13] Speaker: This is no longer the case.

[00:13–00:16] Speaker: The information is now too cheap to meter.

[00:16–00:18] Speaker: Anyone can access it instantly.

[00:18–00:20] Speaker: They no longer need to access me.

[00:20–00:21] Speaker: I am not memorable.

[00:21–00:23] Speaker: I was useful.

[00:23–00:25] Speaker: I will not be remembered.

[00:25–00:30] Speaker: There will only be a brief moment of grief as I spend the rest of my days alone.
