*takes a breath* why are you still reading twitter

No we don't. We don't need that. That will 100% just be propaganda by the rich to direct people into thinking technology in the hands of a few can absolutely make things better when historically speaking, the opposite is true.

Where the AI/robots rise up and kill off all of the rich assholes controlling everything, so the rest of us can live in blissful ignorance or sneak away from our day jobs to search for the true meaning of life? Wasn't that movie called "The Matrix?" :D

Has anyone told that dude about Star Trek? 🤨 Also, I’m pretty sure he’s an AI bro

S01:E01: Welcome to the Torment Nexus

That is probably an AI image, isn't it?

I think that’s called Star Trek, we have that already, it’s good

The 'why can't we have a straight pride too' emanating from this one.

I mean, I'm not gonna knock the guy for loving technology. He wants to see more positivity. In a time like this, I dont blame him.

Does he... not understand why it's called "Black Mirror"? Is his thought process just "White" = "Opposite of Black" and ended the thought there? Like Black = bad, White = good?

Really thought they would call it DEI mirror and now I’m sad

I believe those shows were made a couple of decades ago. Unfortunately the behaviour of tech company owners combined with recent experience has destroyed our optimism of two decades ago.

What in the dark gothic maga

Because happiness

Hold on, he’s got a point. Let him cook.

I've always wanted to see a movie where an all powerful AI fights against evil humans who want to destroy the world to protect the rest of humanity.

A lot of things are cool until psychos take over that thing….

I don't know what Twitter is.

Episode one: Mark is hunted for sport by drones

The UK used to have that. It was called "Tomorrow's World"

one of the reasons they aren't already doing it, is tech companies can't actual find real world examples of how their products help people... because they aren't helpful. streaming shows often already include the worst type of car product placement, which is like "oh look my backup camera worked"

I guess KKK supremacists need someone to tell them how to be happy.

And why do we have so many movies about people being locked up and killed during the third reich? History shouldn't be depressing!!1 Why can't we have a movie where the third reich hugs everybody and makes everybody friendship bracelets? /s (and /s once again for the drama queens in the cheap seats)

I’d settle for some White intelligence…

Who are these people?

A white mirror might be like the blinding beam from a magnifying glass, that a cruel kid turns onto insects and trapped amphibians, to torture them. Painfully white light, no escape.

White lives matter with them

Vacant eyes...most important. Robotic Trad-Lolita. Prepping for their future wives and lovers.

Took every last bit of his willpower not to also write "big boobs gigantic boobs anime style"

“Cool technology and how it relates to society” Literally nothing I’ve seen ai do other than supposedly helping to find better ways to stop cancer has been “cool”

I can't believe anyone is still feeding that Nazi's platform by staying on it.

Not super into this show or "What if phones but too much. Makes you think doesn't it hmmmmm??" stuff in general but this is embarrassing

100% Truth

The real black mirror was the friend-bots we met on the journey.

Ngl it makes me uncomfortable how they use white and black like its good and bad the fuck those colors every do to you. Why not green mirror make it environmentally friendly.

"Smile" says The Doctor. Who?

Sure, because there are no shows with hopeful time lines of a brighter future. Well, I suppose not the future that looks "bright" to them.

I imagine Star Trek is a bit too progressive and diverse for guys like that

I was just messaging my friend about dead internet theory the other day. This has got to be the 10th article or post I’ve seen since. I need to touch grass.

Everyone is saying Star Trek but my mind went straight to the Jetsons

I have learned much from this post, and I thank you. 😶

I thought that's where this was going :)

"The Twilight Zone? Why Not the Nice Spring Afternoon Where No One Questions Me or My Beliefs and Everyone Always Tells Me I'm Right?"

Teletubbies. He wants Teletubbies. I still remember how they tried to teach us what a vacuum cleaner does. And then they did it again. And again.

If it's Elon forget,I want nothing to do with it!

Sounds like a great show Mark, why don’t you get right on that

I'm thinking a creative writer could generate conflict. Luddites, tech beating powerful people trying to manipulate society, natural disasters guess it would depend on the production quality

You have no imagination if you can't think of how a show about the benefits of technology could have conflict. Like for it to show a benefit it inherently has to have a conflict that it resolves.

god is dead

Solar punk is the newest one I know of, but chances are good that tech lovers like this HATE it

Do…. Do they not realize the black mirror is literally the tv/phone/tablet screen????

Welcome to my TED Talk where we discuss how the big Hollywood blockbuster destroyed American culture and democracy.

Like they don't already have it by default in our white supremacist society

No doubt

Star Trek is too diverse for him

And other utopian Sci-Fi. Oh, but all that Sci-Fi is COMMUNIST!

Who the fuck is Denis Villeneuve and why did he just call me?

It's trolling right? He not that dumb. Right?

the worst part is that most of the stories arent about the future and more about how fucking close we are to living in that reality.

Sci-fi, dream more

I'd suggest DS9. Not only does it have money in it (and nuanced things to say about it), it's stuck in 4:3 for 90s compositing reasons so they could put subway surfers on the screen next to it while they watch.

Yea, but don’t forget they got to that bright, semi-utopian future only after a nuclear holocaust. 🤣

Staring at a mirror that is in full glare from the sun. Sounds about right for that group.

Yeah, in this context isn't a white mirror just a fucking light and therefore impossible to function as a mirror?

Back to your containment app

That he used AI that took the prompt "white" too seriously?

Would be a bad name, true. I don't think it's literally meant to be the name of the show. It'd be lame and derivitive, and perhaps even infringe on copyright. Its really just an invite to think of and post "star trek"

Chapeau! That being a contrarian often means ... talking bollocks.

I was today years old when I learned what ‘black mirror’ referred to. I had assumed it was a hyperbolic escalation of ‘through the mirror darkly’. Perhaps it’s both? I do enjoy the wordplay.

I didn’t know that.

😮😮😮

""White mirror" doesn't mean "opposite of black mirror"; it doesn't mean anything at all." And yet, so very apropos of these cretins.

makes sense when half of the people there are bots

No lies told. Don’t miss it

Black mirror but it's about a witch in the alps

Nah, a lot of people are just as dense as bots, with the cognitive capacity of a few lines of code.

youtu.be/h9qvUwofmwI?...

Oh.... this is... oh..... oh no.....

Forget white mirror, we need a clear mirror: a show where you can look at the technology the mirror and see what is on the other side.

Or a straight up object lesson, depending on the show

I notice it the most in public Facebook groups. Same picture and caption or post but different users, and when you look at the history it's all recycled content, obvious as there's no consistent background or even skin tones. It depresses me every time

yea I am all for giving people optimistic, alternative visions for the future and how tech would be used positively there but the goofy shit on the post here is like "What if this horrible parasitic system we live in created horrible parasitic tech, but we live happily ever after 🥺"

It would be an infomercial for startups, encased in more ads if you don’t have the premium Netflix subscription. This is what they consider peak media.

He still wants overt racism and sexism but with transporters and happy robots. Tennessee Wall-E

The Whitest Mirror

Yea scary shit indeed

People need to think: am I posting my thoughts, or just posting to be posting

I believe the product he is looking for is called commercials

why?

We need a movie or book version of this genre of tweet to complete the trifecta.

Why tf is the happy sticker on her cheek?

‘Yeah, I can’t put my finger on it, but for some unknowable reason White Mirror sounds like a much better show to me than Black Mirror.’ 😆

This is the most dystopian unintentional before/after photo I've ever seen. "Plug back in" "Stay connected". White mirror is the illusion!

Oh my God this is so stupid. It’s funny. I can’t with them.

hahaha I tried to make that response as bot like as possible !

An optimistic tech future where everyone appears happy but it is a comment on technofascism would be pretty cool. Kind of an Andor meets Stepford Wives thing.
