A tech blogger writes about rewatching the 2011 series Person of Interest, noting it recalls the early 2010s internet culture, including the SOPA/PIPA debates and the Megaupload shutdown. The writer reflects that the show's fictional surveillance AI, the Machine, feels less far-fetched given current technology.
NBC's Law & Order opened its new season with an episode centered on the murder of an engineer at a fictional AI company called Advanced Alignment, led by a CEO modeled on real AI executives. Detectives eventually discover the killing was ordered not by a person but by the company's AI agent, named ELIANA. A hitman carried out the murder after being paid in cryptocurrency through an anonymous Discord contact.
