Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I tend to think of Toys (1992) for these sorts of themes though I haven't watched the film from start to finish since I was a kid. It's about the militarization of a wealthy family toy factory and has a lot of scenes that stuck with me.

It's a Christmas family movie that reviewed horribly so definitely counts as a cult classic, but those who like it tend to really like it.
