That was a fantastic episode. It spares no punches on the military industrial complex, healthcare, acting purely on belief, and ai, all of which are incredibly timely topics. It's an episode rooted in concept science fiction and yet this one felt realistic which only adds to the horror.
I would contest that it would be so easy to take over an entire organisations AI, but then again even here and now it seems any company that taints itself with ai tends to put good practice to the wayside,so maybe it's not quite deus ex.
Not loving the gory bits though, doctor basically kissed a mutilated dead body at the end there...
Yeah, those things were pretty gross. I couldn't stop wondering what they felt like...
It's still not as bad as we've had in the past (looking at you, love and monsters) at least they're not suffering endlessly.
