Shear Modulus posted:jeff bezos funds tv shows and movies about hypercapitalist space dystopias just to gently caress with everyone I think sometimes that post-apocalyptic fiction and dystopian fiction are prominent because it makes the real world as it is feel less bad. It has the implicit suggestion of what follows the fall of capitalism to be worse than now. A modern revamp of the Lacanian Real, which rather than being reality is a horror story to inspire acceptance of the current. For example, the Hobbesian idea of pre-history being nasty and brutish to make the current situation more acceptable. The reality of the more anarchist organization of tribal society shows it's not true. I also think with the Cold War ending, Y2K/the year 2000, that Boomers, who grew up with that fear of nuclear annihilation are going "I was promised the world was going to end, and I'll drat well make sure!" The Freudian Death Drive writ large. But then I remember Zizek is a transphobe and move on.

There's some people in my office that abstract data from Epic (electronic medical record software) into a database. They have this totally Orwellian software on their computers that keeps track of everything they're doing, and even records if they don't move their mouse every so often (presumably this is a sign of inactivity). Also you can imagine reading people's medical records can be very depressing (these are all transplant patients).

I feel cyberpunk mostly missed the whole "the corporations are shells for offloading legal responsibility and the actual wealth is contained within dozens of small dynasties that actually are quite happy to not fight". Also that YT's mom bit is laughable - as if you would ever get a human doing the evaluation when an automated system flags something.

The software's purpose is to reduce the number of applications to a manageable size without incurring liability for discrimination lawsuits, so in that sense it works as intended.
