Remember what the Praetorian Guards would do when they demanded a pay raise and didn't get one.
They were using sci-fi as their inspiration and the hype for selling their stuff and never bothered to also check the downsides portrayed in the same literature. It's a classic gonk move to be expected from corpo scum.
Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale
Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus

many execs are either on, heavily influence, or will become a part of the board.
when killing a snake you can't just cut off the head, you have to bury it as well.
You could, I don’t know, just spit-balling here, stop being a greedy, lying, insufferable prick.
Modern day mobsters with thugs.
