Everything black mirror has covered has came true at some point or might will. This issue is also coming true. The writers and actors need to make sure they don’t get fucked over by the AI and the greedy corporations. All power to them.
I cannot wait for the day a world leader fucks a pig on live TV!
It basically happened, just not on live TV (and not with a live pig): https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3242550/Cameron-pig-bemused-look-face-future-PM-took-outrageous-initiation-ceremony-joining-Oxford-dining-society.html
I’m waiting to play VR Tekken with a buddy of mine
We are getting there. At least the psycho tech leaders Musk and Zuck would probably love to take part.
I've tried to keep an open mind about AI as a tool. Humanity has lots of problems and maybe AI is necessary to share a planet with 8 billion people. That said, the people blindly embracing AI seem to miss the fact that they're controlled by large corporations motivated by profit not benevolence.
Also, it really is Black Mirror-esque that the first things we train our AI to automate out are creative in nature. Art, performance, writing, etc. These things make us humans and give us joy.
At this point I think it's just giving people ideas
The most unbelievable thing about the entire episode is that the lawyers believed the 100 page term and conditions would hold up in court.
The court is probably a AI as well.
Why is the argument always about the AI and not the scumbag suits at the top using it for harm.
