(2,650 posts)52. Facebook & "The Cloud"
An overarching theme of the show is the inherent dangers of Artificial Intelligence. Another thing the show's producers are dubious of is the so-called 'Cloud'. During the dvd commentary of the season two finale they mention one of the things their research revealed. "The Cloud" as it turns out is a misnomer. There are actually huge 'data server farms' set up out in Utah and New Mexico collecting and storing data from 'the cloud'.
The producers apparently are not fond of Facebook either...
Im sure people who work for Facebook dont believe that theyre working for the company that will destroy the world. But, you know, they are. And everyone gets through the day rationalizing their own existence. ~ Jonathan Nolan
