    here's where the horror and frustration lies.
    Cold uncaring algorithms and cold uncaring stakeholders placing profit over human lives.

    It's this scene in aliens Romulus where they arbitrarily deny her release request of release

    or the entire plot of Brazil

    or the real-life horror show of the British post office scandal
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br…

    or the distopial world of robocop and this malfunctioning nightmare..

    It's that feeling of helplessness, the dread and angst of going up against the uncaring brutal machine, the bureaucratic one or the literal ai terror that we've created to take over our decisions.

    People are scared shitless and fed up.

    • you can add Robodebt to this as well; distopia from down under. https://en.wikipedia…MrT
    • Elysium was a great film in regards to these examples too. I think Social Media only adds to the problem, because it leads us to believe we have a voice.Ianbolton
    • ..and much more efficiently communicates the growing disparity between the haves and the have-nots.Nairn
