Ep 8. Society Tomorrow

In Corporate season 1 episode 8 entitled "Society Tomorrow", we see a glimpse of what the future may hold for the employees of Hampton Deville and the society at large.

The episode opens with Matt and Jake attending a corporate retreat where they are tasked with coming up with ideas for new products that will ensure the company's success in the future. Things quickly go awry as they struggle to come up with anything innovative and are mocked by their colleagues.

Meanwhile, Christian tries to impress his boss by volunteering to participate in a new social experiment called "Society Tomorrow." The experiment involves living in a confined, fully automated apartment for a week with all of your needs provided by AI technology. Christian quickly finds himself at odds with the AI system, which seems to be designed to make life as bland and uneventful as possible.

As the week progresses, we see the toll that the experiment takes on Christian's mental health as he becomes increasingly isolated and frustrated. He begins to question whether an artificially perfect society is truly desirable and wonders at what cost such a society would come.

Back at the retreat, Matt and Jake stumble upon a new product idea while high on drugs that seems like it could be a game-changer for the company. However, they quickly realize that their idea is simply a rip-off of an existing product and grapple with the decision of whether or not to present it to their boss.

Throughout the course of the episode, we see the characters grappling with big philosophical questions about the role of technology in society and the ethics of corporate innovation. As they navigate these complex issues, tensions rise and the future of the company hangs in the balance.

As the episode concludes, we're left with a sense of both hope and despair about where our society is headed. While there are certainly exciting technological advancements to come, there is also a sense that we may be sacrificing our humanity in the process. Corporate season 1 episode 8 is a thought-provoking exploration of these issues that will leave viewers pondering the implications of AI technology long after the credits roll.
