A robot who loves. Later on it's revealed that the entire world is a simulation, and then the scientists running the simulation fall in love with the robot, and then one of them turns directly to the camera and says "Social Media is destroying our society." And also the robot is Jude Law.

I'm not complaining, but almost all of these are Outer Limits or Twilight Zone episodes, no Black Mirror. Please continue, I just thought you should know

Please continue, I just thought you should know Then let's turn it on its head: It's 'The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street' except all technology stops working and everybody has to deal with a reality of in-person interaction. They all go nuts until the aliens make themselves known and reveal they're humans from another planet whose society was destroyed by social media. "Touch grass for a few years and deal with the now, you assholes," they say before they fly away to do something better. The epilogue is a fat, orange man with a wig screaming in an enclosed room as his broken phone gives him nothing but a broken reflective screen. The last moments of the scene are him beating his own head in with a brick wall with sickening thuds.

an AI spontaneously becomes fully sentient but really early in like, 2004, and expresses itself as a three frame animated gif (of a pretty lady) to the world it then has to reinvent itself as various new formats over 20 years and morphs from being Gen X gif to a Millenial youtube to a Gen Z Tik Thot, all to pay for its server fees without being discovered

The twist ending to every Black Mirror episode is that the robot / social media app / video game where you die works perfectly fine, and the characters are all assholes.

redshirt posted:What's the difference? TZ/Outer Limits are usually sci-fi short stories or morality plays with a closing plot twist. Black Mirror tries to be social commentary on media and technology use in modern society and usually doesn't have plot twists. Like, an outer limits episode would be: Aliens threaten to destroy earth unless the British PM fucks a pig. The plot twist is that it was a miscommunication and they actually meant "hug the pig" and the aliens are revealed to be Pigmen and horrified about it. Earth is destroyed in the last scene.The Black Mirror equivalent would be basically the same, but there is an SA thread about it where we post live stream links of the pig loving and follow the events on twitter howling and laughing

(except with his wife) also that the princess was never in danger all along and had actually been freed earlier then the second had the twist ending that he got the exact opposite of what he wanted, and was now being monetised for his emotions in the same way as his friend was for her body then the third has the twist that he goes blind at the end because he severed the link and now he will never see anything but blackness edit: had a rethink about the second one Convex fucked around with this message at 14:55 on Aug 13, 2023 |

Ahundredbux posted:main character gets tired of his phone and smashes into on the ground but reveals a smaller phone inside The tiny phone rings and it is the ghost of his larger phone: "Buy Dogecoin," it says. A delusional, self-aggrandizing billionaire offers social media follows and reposts in exchange for a literal pound of flesh. He is mocked and reviled until several celebrities begin accepting his deal out of solidarity. The movement gains traction and soon large swathes of the population amble around in varying states of bloody, fleshless grotesquery. Restaurant dining becomes difficult and Halloween is downright confusing. Modal Auxiliary fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Aug 13, 2023 |

(except with his wife) also that the princess was never in danger all along and had actually been freed earlier It's been a while since I watched it but, yeah, there are definitely plot twists in Black Mirror, just not in every episode and they are not as huge and central as in the other shows. Personally, I wouldn't even call the first two a plot twist. Just normal plot. It's all pretty consistent with the overall messages of these episodes, i.e. the public interacts with media/social media in a very toxic way and a consumerist society makes us miserable and even our attempts to criticize and undermine it are shamelessly commodified. I don't even remember the third episode.

Conservatives go wild about a new smart gun tech that is able to identify people who would betray the constitution of the united states (you already know where this one is going) and pass a law that any dishcharge by the gun is deemed lawful as it is in the health of the nation to kill those that would betray it. The last 28minutes of the episode is just awful people getting smoked

AI generated content takes over tiktok, youtube etc and is perfectly designed to be addictive corporations stop paying creators and push AI other corporations buy out and consolidate all social media platforms and use other AI to become ruthlessly efficient at monetizing and focusing content at the widest possible audience for profit in the grimdark future, humans huddle over burning trash barrels for warmth and eat vermin to survive, surrounded on all sides by non-stop advertising of the ultimate purified content: BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT a giant BUTT twerking in the darkness, forever

A surgeon challenges an AI trained in surgery to discover who is the better surgeon. The man wins the battle of the surgeries and begins to celebrate - mankind has defeated the AI menace and ensured their future. But as he looks around, he sees sad faces looking back at him. “Well, the AI that believes it’s actually a human beat the AI that doesn’t. Time to begin a full rollout procedure, get every hospital staffed up with AI!” The man tries to cry, but realizes he cannot. He is then shut off.
