This is a bit of a new direction, science fiction mixed in with tech trends. I liked it. AJ seemed to be having fun too.  Made for a great show.

Yeah, great episode!

I even learned something:

even though I was big into the Greek myths as a kid, I never knew hope remained in Pandora's box.

Cool!

I watched Gattaca and thought it was uncomfortably close. Welp...

Worth a watch if you enjoyed latest episode - same premise.

GATTACA (1997) - First 10 Minutes

I always liked the premise of Gattaca but hated the movie.

Last episode was alright, I honestly got bored in the fan fiction parts but the parts where he talked out present day issues was interesting.  

I’m glad hecklefish has shut the fuck up, he was getting pretty bad.   Hes much better in short well delivered doses

I love TWF… but I am not really a fan of this sci fi stuff. I just want to learn about mysterious things, not hear his radio opera telling of them.

I think some people will enjoy it but I was pretty bored with the future scifi stuff and it is by far my favorite genre to read.  I never do other things when watching TWF but I was cruising my phone every time he went into the future story stuff

I’m not gonna bitch too much, when he was talking about thinks that really happened it was full of good content and overall these past few episodes have been much better.

Enjoyed that. For the record: Broccoli was right - no way I'd get on one of those things. And the more you consider the sleep thing the worse it gets. And we do it every night, on purpose.

7 years to swap out all replaceable cells. Why not a moment instead? Fun to think about.

That was an excellent episode, and well worth the wait! Hecklefish is back on point, just enough to make me chuckle without being obnoxious.

Unless they're subliminally manipulating me!

Last few episodes have been on point, except for maybe the AI future TRACER episode, the was so so

I'm going to think about that episode every time I hear a seat-belt or DUI commercial from NTSB or similar from now on. The ones that are so pointless.

It's more likely targeted toward sitcom target groups and moreso on audio / videos you stream while logged in to be more specific since it knows your exact profile and what to 'tune' (no matter the video content/topic).

If I was big tech, and I had a goal, the tools, and all that control to fine tune everything to the user level, that's how I'd do it.



We're probably both right - scary to think about targeting available now. I wonder what is injected into WF episodes.
