    Can’t speek for netflix or later. Didn’t get a subscription. Most of the tech in BM is great and does all that we ask off it. But the mirror in the show is the reflection of humans misuse off the tech. It’s also ment to be the rasonal for any of the tech that is to improve your outword appearance but ultimately shows what we are at our core. White mirror I guess could exist but would need some good native to be interesting and not a cringefest.

      The funny thing is they hate Star Trek, because at its heart it’s social commentary about modern events and it has been since TOS.

      When they say they want positivity about technology, what they mean is they want a combination of an Apple commercial and tech ASMR. Just straight masturbatory tech consumerism, where progress is a new toy to buy and how much everyone loves the toy.

        What they want is stories jerking off their egos for “changing the world”, which in reality equates to them burning through start-ups, capital, and public resources to benefit their own personal wealth at the expense of everyone else. The stupid fucks can’t even realize that Black Mirror is about them. They ruined the future and I’ll never forgive them for it.

        They want stories about heroic tech barons taking humanity in hand and shaping the world to their will. So… Ayn Rand shit.

      Tech bros are Ferengi. Not the good type of Ferengi like Quark, but the bad type like Brunt, FCA.

        The socialism part

        No shared leadership, no competent women, no non-white people then?

        Edit: those are the good parts about Star Trek as a show back then when it first aired and are still good.

          It’s difficult to be wrong three times in a row when talking about a very broad subject but you managed to do it anyway

            somehow you missed the dripping sarcasm. he’s pointing out the things that conservatives would be mad about and label as socialism.

    You can bet the tech bro was just butt hurt that Black Mirror has “black” in the title.

    I mean, art doesn’t have to be depressing. You can make perfectly enjoyable and meaningful media that has an optimistic outlook.

    Given the “I flipped the words I must be clever” way this guy is, I kinda doubt he’s looking for more than “and then the things I like were awesome, saved the day and everyone was happy because AI NFT Bitcoin did magic to them”.
    But still, nothing in principle wrong with wanting something optimistic.

    Clearly a joke post lol, idk why yall are taking it seriously. The title “Black mirror” is meant to evoke computer monitors and phone screens that are literally black mirrors when they are turned off, and how technology is naught but a reflection of humanity. “white mirror” on the other hand is a purposefully nonsense title. The fact that this irony is completely lost on anti-ai bros is hilarious.
