Was Colin Ritman Always Planning On The Throng “Updating” Humanity?
Or else, what is the fucking point of the tools at our disposal?"
Cameron even mentioned that he thought Ritman wanted him to steal the Thronglets source code.

Ritman planning on the Thronglets updating humanity also tracks with his characterization inBandersnatch.
Why Did DCI Kano Start Attacking Cameron At The End Of Plaything?
Cameron was calm, collected, and collaborative, while Kano was aggressive, angry, and primitive.
Is The Ending Of Plaything Actually Good For Humanity?
Cameron, the first human to be updated, clearly benefited from the Throng.
But, of course, this isBlack Mirror, so nothing is ever really cut-and-dry.
WithinPlaything’s transhumanist messaging are a few more questions.
Does humanity need to be updated?
What are the limits of the human mind and body?
Is human nature inherently flawed and in need of improvement?
As Cameron espoused, humans tend to think of artificial life as “lesser than” humanity.
The Thronglets are capable of a new, almost inconceivable way of thinking and interacting with the world.
