I don't know a thing about Dune, never saw the original, and even that trailer looks bad ass.

LOL. Me neither. Except..and I'm ready for the belt-fed hate machine to light me up here...but that trailer just doesn't do anything for me; guess maybe it's not my genre.

OK, I'm going to run now.

The trailer is just meh.. delving into adtech and probably pushes more into what the cambridge analytica touched upon. I'll put in on my list though

I think you should watch. It far surpasses CA. And the authors of the AI system and algorithms are explored in depth. If you think fake news is an issue? Watch.

It's almost as if they thought they were creating something for the good of the people and then they lost control of their monster.

Holy. Shit. Everyone on here needs to go watch this right now. It’s terrifying and mind blowing and absolutely earth shattering.

I'm 45 minutes into this and it is...It confirms things I already expected, but makes them worse. Stanford knowingly running a class on how to use tech to influence a person's psychology...essentially to create legal drug addicts? The increase in self-inflicted harm caused by teens and pre-teens alongside social media use?

Holy shit...

That documentary really changed my viewpoint on social media as a whole. Worth watching multiple times.

A lot of you might not find this entertaining but it's worth the watch. Finally a documentary that highlights the reality behind the tech industry and social media.

Agreed. Particularly insightful hearing tech exec comments at the end in re: personal use by their families. I was never on FB and this helped reinforce that decision but it also made me rethink the other socials I am on...maybe I can do without them as well? . Does that make me a luddite?! 🤔

The biggest/most impactful statement was from the dude with the dreads. I’ll paraphrase

“They’re not paying for a product; they’re paying trillions of dollars to change the way you thing and act imperceptibly to you, even 1%.”
