yeah that black mirror episode couldn’t have come a better time.
I hope this is fictive level 1. I want to be Michael Cera this time
nah, if we’re in any of the fictivev levels, then everyone should look TV good. Even the “ugly” ones should still look good.
Unless… the people in reality are so ugly that we in fictive level 1 would look good in the eyes of reality…
I haven’t seen it yet nor do I plan to because fuck Netflix. What’s the plot of this episode that has everyone worried?
Your life is the script for a TV series. The actor looks almost identical to you. You do not get paid. You have no saying. Everyone in you life will distance themselves from you because they can see behind the curtain; who you really are.
Ι find it very ironic that this article is posted by a bot.
Thanks for pointing this out, if this bot issue here isn’t fixed soon I can’t imagine users are going to stick around for very long. I know I won’t.
I don’t think that bots that post news articles are really an issue, as long as users aren’t allowed repost the same article multiple times. The articles are going to get posted eventually. Bots can be more efficient at quickly posting breaking news.
My issue is more with bots that post comments pretending to be users; bots that steal content from other users; and bots that repost old content. These are the types of bots that negatively affect the user experience.
The OP bot isn’t the worst imo, it’s been very upfront about what it is, but there is a larger issue that bot detection isn’t that great on lemmy.
AI is coming after all of us.
Why would actors get any better legal protection than other professionals?
I thought the episode was so-so, especially compared to the two after it, but yeah it did age very well very quickly.
Did you feel that it’s so-so because it’s way closer to reality than other episodes?
Not really. It just felt a little too “out there” in my opinion compared to other Black Mirror episodes. I imagine those who didn’t like the Ashley Too/Miley Cyrus episode had similar complaints with Season 5 in general.
It’s not the worst episode though. U.S.S. Callister takes that crown for me, there was a glaring plothole with the way the DNA transfer worked. How did the memories of the people whose DNA was collected transferred?
Joan is Awful seemed like the most realistic to me of this season. A couple episodes this season were basically fantasy instead of sci-fi.
I actually thought the one after that about the murder documentary was more realistic. More on the drama side of things than a sci-fi but still very Black Mirror.
Oh yeah I forgot about that. It was basically normal.
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
