Comment on Black Mirror creator unafraid of AI because it’s “boring”

In the real world, it would have been “we do not make deals with terrorists” and that would be that, ratings be damned. Like holy shit, did he start with a completely unrealistic premise.

The “do horrible thing to save someone” story, yeah, maybe.
But the pig thing had been going around for years about the then/former prime minister. Some kind of hazing at eton or wherever those posh folks go. The episode was just a reference to that.
