It's like we've taken it upon ourselves to turn reality into THE stupidest version of any dystopia ever imagined by a human brain...

You want Terminator? Sure, but Skynet will be crap and people will die en masse due to infrastructure fuck-ups.

You want 40k? Sure, but the Men of Iron will be LLMs. Good luck figuring out those STCs once you develop beyond bonking pieces of wood together. Again.

You want 1984? Ok, but Big Brother is a Blackbox algorithm which has no idea what a human being is and just corrupts your feeds until it's nothing but inaccuracies and YouTube Poop and is selling your actual waist size and toilet paper preferences to random online advertisers.

You want Waterworld? Well, here! Have all the water you need! Good luck with your ocean based society once your flesh will start slow-roasting in about 30-40 years of living like this!

You want Mad Max? Well, better make it happen fast, because there won't be enough oil for it! Maybe solarpunk? Also, we're doing Waterworld first, let's see how you make it through that.

There are more, I'm sure, but I'm pissed off now.
