Thoughts on the second episode of the third season of Black Mirror

No spoilers, simple thoughts!

The second episode of the third season is mainly about black AI, black VR, black technology, and black sex.

It reminds me of trying to play VR PlayStation last weekend, a DEEP OCEAN game.


In the game, you are locked in an iron cage and sunk into the deep sea. At the beginning, let you look at the schools of fish and jellyfish and familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment.


As the depth of entry into the sea increased, the surrounding area gradually became pitch black, and submarine volcanoes appeared, and the sound effects changed from lighthearted to eerie and terrifying. As expected, a bloodthirsty great white shark began to wander around the cage and kept hitting. Finally the great white shark bit open the front door of the cage and rushed straight towards you! I'm not spoiled about the ending, anyway, I bit open the cage door and stopped the game in fright.


Maybe someone will laugh at me for being timid. As a 25-year-old adult, I fully know that it is virtual. If the same scene is put in a movie, I would never be afraid, but VR has reached it and makes you think The big mouth of the blood basin is right in front of you, and the eyes follow you in the dark, visually there is almost no difference from personal experience. This is why VR sales to teenagers under the age of 12 are prohibited in the United States, because it causes certain damage to the brains of still developing teenagers, and it is even difficult to distinguish between games and reality.

I saw some bean friends spit out the drama of this drama, exaggerating the technology too much, and there is no depth. I disagree. The current technology can make very realistic VR games. AI may not be able to achieve perfect interactive effects. It extracts everyone's memory and customizes the game plot, but that is the future direction of development. A drama can combine the most cutting-edge technology with human nature, so that you can think a little after watching it, it is a good drama!

    1, recommended; 2, poor; 3, acceptable; 4, acceptable; 5, highly recommended; 6, highly recommended. Still worthy of five stars throughout the season.

    1>4>6>3>5>2, the first episode that everyone scolds is the one that resonates the most with me. In fact, the moral dilemma of human beings is not who hates who or who wants to kill who, but the confusion and denial of self from the source. As for those who seized the logical loopholes and cursed, it was really boring.
