πŸ”₯ THIS WEEK IN SEXTECH

  • πŸ˜΅πŸ’« Black Mirror meets real life

πŸ˜΅πŸ’« Black Mirror meets real life

Black Mirror debuted in 2011... feeling old yet? Back then, it was pure sci-fi. Now? It’s practically a documentary. πŸ˜΅πŸ’«

This week, The New York Times ran a piece on Black Mirror (have you binged the new season yet?). What once felt like wild dystopian fantasy now reads like... Tuesday.

And yes, that quote I’ve been shouting about... the one about AI relationships becoming normal? There it is again, right in the NYT. πŸ‘€ I told you!

Tech isn’t imitating life anymore β€” it’s dating it. AI lovers? Real. Chatbots getting hitched? Also real.
