I’ve been recording the new X Files but have yet to watch any before tonight’s episode. I watched tonight (title was Rm9sbG93ZXJz) and damn was it creepy. All about technology and AI with a bad attitude because Mulder didn’t leave a tip for the robot Sushi restaurant workers...after they got his order wrong. When the little drones showed up in his house I thought they were going to be the “death drones” (there was a thread a while back about miniature suicide drones that could take out anyone). The robot making and firing ice bullets at Mulder and Scully was pretty cool!

Overall, it was quite a freaky episode because I’m guessing we aren’t far from much of this being a real possibility...

Also, I read that the title translates into “Followers” in Base64 code.
 
The whole new series has been out there.

Problem with machines trying to kill you, unless someone purposely built a murder bot they would be pretty ineffectual at killing a person unless you stood still under their apparatus. The deadliest drone from robot wars could be stopped by a curb.
 
True, though in this episode they had fully automated cars and some of the flying drones were huge (many, many of them too). All of their electronic systems in houses/buildings, phones, transportation, utility services, financials, etc were tied in together controlled by AI and they all were acting against them which made them fairly helpless for communication, transportation, purchasing, etc. I see it as somewhere we could be in the next decade or two, especially with advances in AI.
 
watching this episode now. Catching up on DVR after China.
It really isn't that far fetched if AI ever becomes reality. Intelligence without heart and soul.

Ironically, China's "social credit" score is based on the types of purchases one does and product reviews, time spent viewing approved news sites, comments made on social media etc..
