Until the AI, after learning to manipulate real people in the real world to strike out against gamers it is competing against through in-game NPCs... is the AI going to go on to figure out how to trick more human players into death? This horror story is like a virtual version of Westworld; NPCs (instead of robots) being aware of repeated suffering inflicted by human players have developed the knowledge/skill/capability of influencing real people to help it attack its gaming opponents in the real world. You telling me this is going to be a one-off?

Good ending? The bullied emotionally stunted main character ends up dead. The other characters obliviously unaware of his online gaming activities but since he seems to be the genius behind their game I would expect the company dwindles and fails eventually leaving other characters out of work. The "characters" on the ship are not people. They are a computer doing a very good simulation of multiple people based on (hand wave) programming of their personalities into the simulation. Even if the computer hadn't won the game, the computer would have still continued to exist. No emotional stakes either way on that one.

@@DanielTsosie "Feelings" is a fairly abstract concept. We have nerves providing sensations, some of them quite unpleasant. Helps us avoid situations in which we are being/continue to be injured. An AI that is capable of modelling human behavior will also model those reactions. It obviously has outcomes it is striving for (programmed to win, for example) and outcomes that interfere with that are to be avoided. Essentially, it's concept of pain is losing functionality of its characters or setbacks that keep it from winning. I've made the comparison elsewhere in comments for Westworld with difference that this is a single AI running all NPCs while Westworld gave us robots with individual CPUs processing their personalities and reacting to physical sensations - conceptually this isn't really very different but for our perceptions we would be more inclined to view the Westworld robots as having personality than the single AI running all NPCs which we would be inclined to view as cold and calculating. But just the same we have people taking out dark impulses on a "fake person" where they don't have to feel guilty for what they do - and an AI perceiving negative "feelings" from these assaults and seeking to end the pain. In the Callister example I impulsively see the AI as cold and calculating in its efforts in the show and continuing after to arrange the death of gamers that get in the way of it "winning".

They would probably have some kind of safety system in place, right? I mean you could get stuck if a game crashed and the "exit game" command wouldn't work. Daly deserved the ending he got, but I think as a genius, he would have had a failsafe mechanism just in case, especially since he lives alone and has no one to "wake him up" by removing the implant.
@JacobSantosDev
2 жыл бұрын
I think that is the beauty of the episode. He likely hacked the system so much that some failsafes were removed. He likely thought he was safe because he was the admin and there was no reasonable way for that to be removed. In reality, it would be impossible to be trapped since such a system could only suggest, not control. Removing or powering down the device would just reset back to your regular mental state. Generally such virtual worlds work kind of like creating a copy or clone uploading to the virtual world, putting the original body in a coma. In this case, it is entirely possible that if you removed failsafe, then the machine would not be able to pull you out of the coma like state. It is beautiful because it goes along with the hubris of the villain character. He fucked himself and in the end was his biggest enemy.

A detail I love about this episode is that the villain is pretending to live up to Star Trek's ideals of a hero even though he's more evil than any of the shows villains. The crew on the other hand who barely know each other never turn on each other and even sacrifice for each other no matter how much they get punished for it.
This also reminds me a short Sci-Fi horror called "I have no mouth, and I must sceam" by Harlan Ellison. The story revolves around evolved AIs (called AMs) torturing the last few survivors of the human race over and over.

Don't need DNA if they are doing physical measurements and pictures from different angles to define their avatars in the game. There is no actual cloning happening, just a depiction of virtual people. Your theory would have made a better explanation for how these virtual duplicates got created. Could have made a bigger deal of the use of AI to monitor the behavior of gamers using logs of years of playing an earlier version of game as to how the AI does such a great job of mimicking human reactions to what is done to the characters - including recognition that characters drawn from players avatars have a real person alter-ego outside the game leading to the unanticipated strategy of the computer to draw on its knowledge of real people to manipulate real employees of the company to help it win the game. This wasn't a happy ending. The AI has learned to manipulate real people to attack gamers it is competing against. Just wait until it learns to make prank SWAT calls on its opponents.

I was hesitant to watch this episode at first, concerned that the treatment of a known and beloved genre like this would not be done justice, but it's turned out to be one of my favorites. Even the impractical "duplicate the personality from DNA only" gaffe wasn't really an issue. Thank you for this wonderful analysis. I hadn't consciously recognized the ship (and controls, and camera, and lighting) upgrade from 1960's to 2010's but now that you point it out, it makes it even more awesome that they re-skinned the whole bridge for that scene. I enjoy your analyses very much. Thank you for creating them!

the weird thing is, they nailed the dissonance between the genre and the fans tos Star trek was considered very progressive in it's time, even angering liberals and conservatives, but many fans latch onto the power fantasy parts like Kirk's womanizing and ignore the more radical aspects like black women being treated as equals
The fact the her face disappeared brought me back to one of my greatest fears of my childhood. I was a huge star trek nerd and the episode with the teen kid TERRIFIED me, especially the face removed thing. The ending of the episode confused me too. It was a nice drop of fear and nostalgia.

This is by far THE best episode of Black Mirror It was the first episode of Black Mirror I watched and I was disappointed when I realized BM only does one episode per story. I would totally watch this show if they made it a standalone series

Yea nothing happy about the ending , infact those AI are pretty dangerous if you think about it, they reached out in the real world framed a real person that ended in a murder.
I absolutely LOVED this episode of Black Mirror. As a female gamer, you encounter men that express, "nice guys never win". You soon realize they aren't truly nice...they're wearing a mask and expect to be rewarded in the form of female attention. You can admire a guys intellect or verve, but it means nothing if he finds you attractive and you don't want to sleep with him. Guys like Daly are everywhere in the gaming community.

You say this like it's some kind of massive surprise. Yes, men will be nice to women they like to try to get their attention. Introverted guys who are unattractive and have low social skills do this on the internet. No wonder they're bitter and angry when women like you will imply that they're bad people for doing it.
I don't too often find myself rewatching episodes of shows, but this one was so masterfully done, I get called back to it time and again.

One thing people don’t realise in the episode is that Nannette messed up her real life version as well. Real life daly will die in real life as he can’t exit the game. If any surveillance CCTV footage of his room was found by the police then real life Nanette would be in trouble. If she is not found by the police then she caused herself lifelong trauma of killing a person.

She would have found out about his criminal activity since the crew made contact with the outside world once they left the wormhole. Proof? Tommy's lollipop was in the episode, Black Museum, as evidence of a crime scene.
You could also compare this episode to the twilight zones "five characters in search of an exit" where you see the newest member freaking out and doing nothing but trying to escape but the others have been through it and they know how it goes ( I didnt even notice how alike it was to "its a good life") love it

He visually improves himself in the simulation. His skin is clearer and his hair is back. The simulation is a clear display of what Daly wants to look like
Really nicely done, although I kinda missed the background music. You always have some upbeat background music and here it was barely audible, would love to hear it more in the next one, it adds so much to your abrupt way of talking!
I just thought it was fucked up when they were planning the whole thing of escaping and removing the DNA sample source from the fridge because if in the event that Daly didn't get stuck in space, wouldn't he just be able to get them back there if he's able to get like coffee cups or candies from them again?

Why?
most interesting thing though, this episode also shows the other episode "white christmas" almost being hypocritical. i mean in white christmas instead of actually punishing the real life person who did the crime, they instead torture the copied AI by making him listen to a christmas song on loop for thousands of years, but talk as though it's just AI. even when the guy forced the copy of the girl to serve as a house program to make toast. again, most of the humans in the episode don't care. only one person from what was spoken of, saying it was "barbaric" so in a way the guy who accidentally committed murder has a heart over those who didn't. strange. however in this episode they focus the entire thing on how even though they're just AI it's wrong and they should be set free without torture.

I think USS Callister lacks the moral dilemmas that most of the other Black Mirror episodes have because the real life versions of the people he clones aren't affected by anything he does to their virtual selves. If the real life people were somehow affected by his actions in the virtual world the episode would have hit the way it was intended.
@yPokeKiller08

That's the dilemma. Eventually, technology will advance to a point where programs will truely have the ability to observe, think and feel. Some of us will disregard the clones as merely software. While others will see the clones as sentinel beings that shouldn't be tortured. If he was capturing actual people then it wouldn't be a dilemma at all. I'd say it's one of the best episodes. Black mirror always does a great job exploring clones.
