Great ancillary benefit of our tech overlords creating a dystopic tech world overrun with A.I. defecated simulacra.
The disruption they manufactured generates a need for technologies to detect technologically crafted unreality.

The satiric warning in the 1970s about what could happen to news as any public interest obligation eroded & all TV decisions became subject to Diane's programming logic now seems descriptive & expository, as if it were doomed to happen.

The last time the White House was razed was in 1812.
Both times it was commanded by a King with unchecked power of destruction.

Like many in Hollywood, Alfred Hitchcock was antifascist.
His 1942 movie Sabateur warned of a 5th Column of oligarchs who wanted to destroy democracy through acts of terrorism and replace it with a totalitarian form of government that would be more profitable for them. The echos are striking.

Will the University & Corporate leaders enraptured by A.I. hype see the obvious?
