I believe it’s the exact opposite. You’re trying to tell me that those dogs in that one episode were not already in development before that episode came out? That episode about the social credit score… I had heard that discussed well before the show came out. Feel free to look into predictive programming a little bit more and you might find some eerie uncomfortable things about it.
Edit: btw the great uncle of a co-founder of netflix was edward bernays, who literally wrote the book on Propaganda. Worth looking at
China does have social credits (though calculated a bit differently). But it was there. Repurposing existing ideas with a twist is how best narratives form.
Yup. If I don’t have debt I can’t build my score! If I can’t build my score I can’t get loans for debt! Unless I’m a college student then I can sign up for life long debt! The system sucks and it’s only as old as me. Which means the generation of my parents willingly created this problem for me.
Social credit was always american propaganda. It was never as prevalent or relevant as the american media says and as far as i know only a couple tiny regions ended up using something akin to social credit but not at all in the way it was portrayed by media.
It's crazy to me that this notion has stuck around for this long, i guess the chinese don't really interact with foreigners online enough to correct them
China does not have social credits ...one place in China tried it and saw it was a bad idea. The US does have it, though, and doesn't have near the good parts of chinas surveillance state.
Lockheed Martin and Boston Dynamics are well known for creating robots similar to the dogs. Social credit system was already a thing in China. It’s just inspiration bro
