The brain hole of the first episode is really big

If you knew there was a digital version of you living in a game, would you be willing to destroy something in your real life to free your other virtual self? The technical director has the supreme power in the game, and can make the characters in the game live in endless pain, such as no face, no breath but no death. The unpleasant becomes a monster, so that death is a happy thing, but the DNA samples have been stored in the refrigerator and can be copied endlessly. many. Horror is horror. Every character that appears in the game is real in reality, and has exactly the same thinking ability, which is equivalent to copying another soul, but the soul is imprisoned. This episode is really terrifying after watching it. There are many places that make people ask themselves. In fact, the envisaged copying of the soul is basically the same as what Yuval Harari described later in "A Brief History of Humanity". Humans can achieve copying of the soul. Yes, it is to save a person's thinking memory in the computer to achieve complete AI, but it will never rely solely on DNA. Of course, this is the brain hole envisioned by Black Mirror after all, and it is defined by him.

    Walton: [Breathlessly as he fixes the engine] You created Infinity. You're a fucking genius. I exploited that. I treated you like the golden goose and I got fat off the profits, figuratively speaking. And I was thinking, I should have appreciated you more, you know? I should have treated you better. Yeah, yeah I was thinking I should say all that.

    [Beat]

    Walton: But then you threw my son out of an airlock, so... FUCK YOU TO DEATH.
