@GarretSidzaka I'm always reminded of this episode when I see people personifying the bot by accusing it of lying, etc.

@markdennehy @GarretSidzaka @geoglyphentropy E.M. Forster might be history’s most prescient writer. Reading The Machine Stops (1909!) today feels like uncovering a history book from a time traveller. He predicted the Internet, video calls, social media isolation, and tech dependence with eerie precision. Even the tyranny of "the algorithm" lurks in its godlike Machine.

Did you ever "unplug" and feel like a heretic? Forster knew you would.

That was a really good one.

The statute of limitations for spoilers has long past - I liked how, when he broke free and was able to get on with his life, he passed another guy who was feverishly feeding coins to the same kind of machine. Seems especially apt for this comparison.

@GarretSidzaka Posts like yours send me down rabbit holes. 'Nick of Time' is the episode and it stars William Shatner. WILLIAM SHATNER! I remembered that from the last time I saw this episode, which was just a handful of decades ago. He was in more than one Twilight Episode pre 'Star Trek'. Another rabbit hole. 'Nightmare at 20000 Feet'.

@GarretSidzaka I boosted this yesterday and this morning I'm looking through some docs from last year and I find a draft start of a short story with the line "... people's reliance on AI did us in. Like the fortune teller box in that old Twilight Zone episode."

@GarretSidzaka @shkolopendre Je me souviens de cet épisode, excellent épisode qui délaisse le fantastique et la SF, scénarisé par Richard Matheson.

À noter que le perso principal était joué par William Shatner.
