The Black Mirror episode Smithereens hit me hard.
- The Black Mirror episode Smithereens hit me hard.
- I watched it on a long-haul flight.
- Maybe it was just the altitude making me more susceptible to hokey things.
- No matter what I'm watching, on a long-flight it's a lock that it will make me cry.[kk]
- Imagine if you made a machine that grew out of your control that changed all of society and made you billions of dollars… and then realized it was antisocial.
- What would you do?
- I didn't watch Black Mirror for the past few years because it was too hard to watch.
- Now I see that was the coward's way out. I need to watch and I need it to affect me.
- Everyone who is in a position of power in tech should feel compelled to watch Black Mirror.
- If you can't bear to watch it, maybe you shouldn't work in tech, or you need to align what you work on with your values.
