>hopefully a much better legal system around data privacy and surveillance If we avoid wireheading and obvious black mirror pits

Curious what you see as a possible incentive for this to play out? Personally stopped watching black mirror a few years ago, i dont know how much focusing the public psyche on a fantastical version of the horrors that are playing out helps us imagine or enable a better future. These days it almost feels like a keeper of the gate to STEM. If black mirror freaks you out you probably aren't going to compete in the r&d space.
