I watched episode 8 the other night and there's a scene with a MacBook that shows the dock and there's an Emacs icon in it at @ 42:17 or so.

Screenshot?

Attached to original. There's no way to take a screenshot from the Apple TV app on Mac OS so it's a tad blurry. It's funny that they're using some other code editor though in the pic from the movie.

Damn, that's awesome. I presume they pulled the laptop from the nerdist
staffer, and no surprise, the guy was at least a fair-weather emacser.
The guy also installed IntelliJ PyCharm and DataGrip, in addition to the
on-screen editor (is it geany?), so we have to assume he was a relative
dilettante being an AppleTV hipster and all.
For another cameo in the popular culture, check out AlphaGo (an
absolutely compelling watch on its own) where the Deepmind team is
*actually* using emacs.

Cool thanks for that tip on AlphaGo - I had briefly seen that flash by and totally forgot about it. I worked as a contractor doing web development for the Deep Blue vs Gary Kasparov live event in NYC back in the day so I love this kind of stuff.
