Holy. Shit. Everyone on here needs to go watch this right now. It’s terrifying and mind blowing and absolutely earth shattering.
That trailer is enough to worry me.
Dude. I’m serious. I had to sit in the quiet for a bit after.

I was going to watch it but this comment gives me pause. Too many heavy days. I think I'll hold off a bit for something lighter.

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.

Haven't seen this posted yet....looks pretty good. I heard it's based on a TRUE story......
.
Just rewatched The Old Guard....they set it up nicely for a Second Movie. I think I missed that somehow at the end the first time.
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...

This was solid. Everyone should watch it. I believe what's discussed plays a big role in events we're seeing take place now. Thanks for the recommendation!

Recently re-watched The Vietnam War by Ken Burns. One of the only documentaries I ended up watching multiple times.
They pull no punches in their discussions about the futility of all war, in general, and of this war in particular.

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?!
