Why is late-night satire examining this reality with far more critical rigor than the very institutions whose job it is to study, regulate, and safeguard the intersection of tech, politics, and society? It is striking to watch those tasked with protecting the public stand at the front of the line, ready to blindly buy whatever tech billionaires put on the shelf..

We already know they're a sham intended to centralize wealth. Let's talk about the cognitive impact, the environmental impact, and the criminality inherent in their training.

Journalism —particularly American journalism— is famously the View From Nowhere.

The rest of the world can then work in the mines to gather the required materials to feed the machine, or something.

And this is largely not driven by niche knowledge, specialist outlets, or expert analysis. Instead, it is driven by things like satirical TV shows that attract a million viewers in the Netherlands.

As a result, the number of people who want to understand how we got here and how we are going to get out of this situation, is growing.

The "free" press is a joke, and unlike the comedians', the joke isn't funny.
