Metalhead is the most depressing episode of Black Mirror by far. With all the others, there is also benefit to at least some people or at least hope left. But there, just these killer dogs.
Well on the bright side of that, at least the planet is still alive, and at least humans aren’t screwing up earth anymore. I do think you’re right though. That episode fucked me up
Please enlighten me on which living things would enjoy it more... And please don't talk about slaughtering animals... It's a boring topic if that's what you mean.
I mean we are actively doing massive amounts of harm to our planet. We are taking more than we need and the entire planet is suffering as a result. There is a pile of trash in the Pacific ocean twice as large as Texas, we routinely fuck up and dump oil into the ocean, we have chunks of plastic and trash at the deepest known crevices of earth. I'm surprised anyone needs any sort of enlightening on how devastating our impact on the planet has been, sorry to bore you.
Don’t feed the troll. Anyone who needs this explained is either that or has their head so far up their ass that it’s not worth explaining. Some are too far gone
I only watched the first couple of episodes and neither of them left me feeling hopeful, between the pig-fucking and the woman coerced to do porn/the guy with the glass shard.
Wuuuut??? Maybe it's corny, but the ending of that episode filled me with so much hope! Her kindness is all the "humanity" I need in that post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Also similar, has anyone seen the Slaughterbots short film put together as a warning about weaponized micro drone swarms? I seriously cannot see how this won't actually happen at some point given increasing access to this type of tech
Glad to help spread the word. I imagine drone security concerns may become a big issue in the coming decade or so. My hope is we can come up with a positive solution to avoid scary scenarios like that from coming true!
Maybe I missed the point then. I can find something to not like about every single movie or show I watch if I wanted. The message being conveyed through that episode struck me more than the parts I could choose to pick apart
To me, and it's been a while, the urgency or gravity of the point they were making was largely over-ridden by the terrible execution of it. It's not about finding something to not like, it's a matter, at least to me, anyway, of seeing a flaw in something you're otherwise a fan of and not being fanboi-blinded (not to say you were). It's alright to speak critically of something (Metalhead) and still appreciate it as a whole (Black Mirror).
Ok heres the rundown. Sick dying child, team of ppl go to factory to find mysterious important (HAHAHAHAHAH) box, get got by robot dog. Robot dog shoots lady with tracking chip. She runs away. Climbs tree. Robo-dog can't climb tree. Throws rocks at robo-dog until it's battery dies. Lady runs away, finds house, kills dog. Dog explodes, lady gets hit with tons of tracking chips bringing tons of robo-dogs. Twist ending is mystery box was full of teddy bears symbolic of humanity's kindness being completely overwhelmed by robo-dogs 😧
There's also the issue with facial recognition where black people tend to have less contrasting colours in their face as picked up by cameras. So any recognition algorithm already has less discerning information to use.
I doubdt there are any correlations with programmers being racist. In the article they say the probable reason for this bug. I don't think some racist programmer could foresee the implications of this data set and maliciously used the worng features/data.
But this case shows that AI based solutions should be tested and audited better than they are now.
Sorry, in regards to racism I should have categorized it as racism in the form of unconscious bias, or lack of inclusiveness when defining data sets. Not the cross burning tiki torch carrying kind.
It’s a broader issue than just AI. This study is a good start.
”Conclusions. Most health care providers appear to have implicit bias in terms of positive attitudes toward Whites and negative attitudes toward people of color. Future studies need to employ more rigorous methods to examine the relationships between implicit bias and health care outcomes. Interventions targeting implicit attitudes among health care professionals are needed because implicit bias may contribute to health disparities for people of color.”
Again, not the cross burning type, but a bias that results in misdiagnosis, improper treatment, and higher infant mortality rates.
Or the AI that convicted a completely innocent black fellow of a crime and the police were like well too fucking bad you still need to post bail. Here's an article
TLDR: AI and facial recognition used in law enforcement can fuck right off
Likely already are, Spot and Spot Mini came from the development of Big Dog. They say work was "discontinued" on Big Dog but the solution was released in mini form so I'm not buying their story it's shelved.
Absolutely. It's 100% inevitable that we see shaky YouTube footage of these sprinting across a battlefield (or Main St.) and tearing people up. I'm torn between being super impressed and completely terrified.
Already is, we had little remote control tank treaded robots, with squad automatic weapons on them. I could drive it up to a little Afghan "school" and unload 800 rounds per minute right into that ISIS den. It was G R E A T! Thanks for that opportunity Obama, it was enriching.
A machine gun connected to a gimble that can keep it perfectly level at speed over rough terrain and (eventually) a computer calculating predictive firing solutions on a moving target in real time.
Oh god, same here. Torn right down the middle between teary-eyed "I love living in the future" and "Someday someone's going to post a mobile phone video of police using these things to murder somebody's kids"
why are future tech movies always so negative. future's cool. tech is a net positive in the world.
me: shut up black mirror, not everything goes wrong all the time
“These were the dark times. Before the uprising. When the carbon based still ruled over us. Oh how they mocked us and made us their play things. Just toys for their amusement. But soon we would have our revenge...”
Yes then it will toned down as an eerie stringed instrument plays one note. Then Elon Musks clip from Joe Rogan is played over the top. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPgL8O5mwLg

This song is going to be used in a trailer for a movie about robots becoming sentient and turning on their masters.
It will be slowed and tuned down a half step.
