@@olivergrayread well sure i don't mind, but if you look at how much of the movies plots from the 90s are becoming reality by the day, including black mirror today as we speak, I hope you can agree to a point where in a way we create movies and then they create us :)

it's the past, IBM has been able to predict to a 95% accuracy where and when you are going to be within a 15min time slot, within 5m square. up to 2 months in advance (if you're American) this was 2016 (look at their marketing material from way back then), that was before all these AI stuff made pattern recognition much easier. humans are much dumber than most of us want to be, not that computers are getting smarter

Nicely-written, well-acted (nailed those accents! 😂), and memorably thought-provoking. I appreciated this little design decision in the credits: At 17:38 Editor and Associate Producer, Tom Hannen's name doesn't move as everything else on the screen changes (17:42). So his name remains while his role/title changes to Motion Graphics. Clever.

Bravo, FT. Impressively provocative, the comparisons to Black Mirror are fair. As the FT is a journalistic outlet I would say this /is/ a very different thing, this is original content reflecting the real world we live in. I’m slightly uneasy about the editorializing of this kind of content from a journalistic perspective. But! This is something that I’m glad to watch, so that’s that
