I saw this movie at the theatre when it came out. TBH, while I'm interested in the subject, I didn't like it all that much. It thought it kinda flopped as an arthouse movie. The content itself was not particularly rich and obviously not novel, at least for anyone who has ever read about the Stasi.
So if TLOO was overrated, at the opposite end of the spectrum is another "Panopticon movie" that's contemporarily set and underrated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_(2016_film)
Hi,
I dare you to join DareDonut (https://daredonut.com/). A website where you can vote, do, and see dares with each others. It's like the app in the movie Nerve but much safer.
Have you ever seen the movie nerve? (Tl;dr [spoilers]: fictional online video game coercing people into doing dares based on upvotes from the internet hive mind which can't be shutdown due to handwavey "distributed" reasons. The protagonists eventually get all their friends together to launch a 51% attack to shut it down)
I think that sort of thing is the vision that these groups have when they talk about "the next" internet being built on "blockchain". Of course there are insurmountable technical problems between here and there...
This app is the exact plot of the distopian sci-fi movie [1] Nerve. The effects of such a system are explored pretty well there...

The movie 'Nerve' [1] immediately comes to my mind. Some supervision about what dares are acceptable is definetly necessary. Otherwise thinfs might get out of control rather quickly.

Sounds like the plot of that film "Nerve".
I really wish social media would "peak" to towards meeting people in real life semi-spontaneously.
No profiles, no media uploads, no digital showboating. The best relationships I have with other people fall in this category. Real life,common interests,no digital uploads.
Just add attributes of your geolocation and hobbies [biking, yoga,tensorflow,etc] or let it crawl your digital profile(s) to autobuild your attributes identity. The system will group people with similar personalities/attributes. Every once in a while, "the system" it sends you a text "Free at 9am? Mountain biking at X park for an hour with beer after with 3 new people? Text yes to opt-in"
Get revenue by having businesses bid on being the beer spot. Refine the algorithm by having an anonymous rating system after the fact.
I like Meetup but it must be taxing to always manage the organization/logistics of a meeting.
Yes. I just realized I blended the show Betas,an episode of Black Mirror, and the 2016 movie Nerve together.
