I can’t even imagine how deep fakes are going to proliferate, challenge the very basic concept of reality, and the impact that will have socially. It’s happening soon and it’s going to be monumental.

The legal aspect …. All of that will be painful for Judicial systems around the world to grapple with. I don’t think we are really held to the terms and conditions on half of what we sign, since it’s not really informed consent but I may be wrong on that.

I thought this episode was a shaky start. I’ve noticed that black mirror tends to fall back onto existential horror/multiple or never ending consciousness which at first was very effective but it’s starting to become expected. I enjoyed the episode and I liked “our Joan” (fictive level 1?). Smart devious and creative. Salma Hayek was okay, she’s the same in every role but it works for her
