A women becomes so obsessed with television that she binges all tv shows, never taking a break. Away from her nagging, her husband becomes more happy and successful than hes every been in his entire life.

FANG starts predictive ordering services where they just send you poo poo you probably need, and everyone blindly accepts this as a good idea. Instead of doing something cool like sending schizophrenics agitprop and bomb making supplies, the tension is focused around a bland protagonist who just slowly regresses in her ability to take care of herself. Her relationships suffer because of it, or something equally meaningless.

Last scene is a baby getting mailed a bottle of formula on the day it's born, I think, and somehow the amazon drone gives holds the bottle for the newborn and her mother watches on with tears in her eyes like she's in a Stan Kelly panel.

edit: yeah, this is it. The tension is around a woman who gets pregnant and her boyfriend / family gets pushed away because she prefers to rely on Netflixs sending her movies to watch cued to her mood rather than spend time with family, etc, etc. Sets up the last scene nicely.

a man meets a beautiful woman and they go on several dates together. when he suggests moving their relationship to the next level she gets upset and runs off and "disconnects" revealing this to have been a vr only relationship. it is eventually revealed that the woman was dying and in her last moments implanted her personality into the super computer she was building

children are issued a watch when they turn three. the watch lets them talk to a funny cartoon dog. the dog grows up with them as their cognitive abilities improve, helping them through every dumb kiddy crisis, but also records everything. when they turn 18, there’s a big ceremony where the dog picks their future for them based on what it’s observed, and society just generally accepts this. a young woman is told to become a receptionist but hates it because she wants to be a firefighter. it turns out that the dog is right and she’s a terrible firefighter

Pictured: The only good cop (a fictional one).

A man tortures an AI, feeling no more remorse than if he had damaged his self driving car. The audience is unsettled, realizing that it is our collective humanity that has suffered most of all.

B plot: The self driving cars are actually driven by enslaved AIs constructed from brain scans of unemployed Uber drivers.

A celebrated satirist and television sci-fi writer falls from grace when a hacker discovers his stash of torture porn. The public is outraged, but during the trial it emerges that the victims were all AIs. At the end of the episode, it is revealed the AI torture porn was the TV show all along.

I'm 100% stealing this idea. Driver starts acting like celebrity to make his car ai happy, ai gives a pained smile and tries to play along but remains disappointed at heart they didn't get bought by someone cooler.

I don't know, the conflict is that people dont like to be treated politely but genuinely disliked by their smart watches and the end twist is that the ubiquitous ais are nice but generally just as self interested and unamused as any typical service worker.

Ken M gets elected not just to one, but the vast majority of public offices. Twist is no one finds out Ken M is just some loser from Portland on a gimmick account until the end, at which point Ken M finds out anyones been reading his youtube comments all along.

Last scene is Ken M still being a nobody in Portland but now he's commenting his signatures onto random, unimportant legislature, adding stupid conservative uncle comments as signing statements.

Turns out this was an episode in season 2, although the comic behind the fake personality refused the call to adventure. They were still getting their legs, I think.

A man is a bit of a loner and just wants to be left alone in the world. He wants to be left alone with his computer and his biggest passion: music. All he does all day long is listen to music on his computer. A collection of music measured in terabytes. The only thing stopping him from enjoying his collection all day long is the nuisance of coworkers, family, and life obligations.

A few weeks later the man gets his wish. The entire planet is obliterated except for him, and he's left alone with the only computer on earth that survived: the computer at his local library that has every single song ever created on its 20 petabyte hard drive. He grins with delight as he realizes his dream has finally come true. He can listen to his music all day long and never be interrupted again. It's just him and his passion.

The camera pans over the man, sobbing with his head in his hands. There's a quick pan of the computer screen: it's running Linux; the only sound emitting from the speakers is a cracking hum.

A woman is witness to a gruesome murder, but succeeds in recording the event on her smartphone.
Due to future progress in cloud computing, no-one stores anything locally anymore, and her video is pushed directly to her
online google drive.
Unfortunately, Google's automatic labeling algorithms flags her upload as inappropriate and deletes the video immediately.
Instead, the algorithm informs the police that this woman is a snuff producer, which triggers a Kafkaesque downward spiral.
