Black Mirror is not an instruction manual, people. Quite the opposite. Can we stop trying to make every episode real?
If you don’t want to do it then don’t do it. Can we stop trying to tell everyone else they have to have the same values as you?
This was my first thought. How bout let’s not try to recreate the dystopian fictional TV show.

It made me think of this old Michael Keaton movie, “My Life”, in which he leaves a treasure trove of video tapes to his unborn child.
Guy going full on pantheon .

AI has access to all sorts of knowledge, but his wife only wants to ask it questions that only Bommer would know the answers to.
Normally, uploading this information would take weeks or months, but Bommer needed to put it together in just a few days.
