It's another spiral down the dystopian plughole to consider that it is now likely after the SCOTUS decision yesterday that AI/LLM companies will seek U.K. courts when they are plaintiffs (and can chance their arms on the sweat of the brow doctrine working once more) and U.S. courts when they are defendants (and can claim that no human agent is involved).

It's interesting to observe that, now that we know from elsethread that this was a combination of the Monarchists getting rid of the people who organize this sort of thing and a failsafe default, none of your six predictions were right.
Even when one thinks that one has covered all possibilities, there's another even stupider one. (-:

In this Post-Stross Universe, where fiction is now the upper bound on how positive the future will be, we are watching the plot of #MelBrooks's 1967 movie _The Producers_ play out in real time.
The audience has yet to start laughing at #Amazon's cunning scheme to give a bung to #DonaldJTrump via a disastrous #Melania movie about the rise to power of a monarch and his consort.

It wasn't *quite* as dire as I was expecting. There were some significantly discordant moments, though.
It was likely written in the Summer of 2024, going by its first broadcast date.
Seen in 2026, it's definitely off in the realms of wild fantasy land, in terms of both Venezuela and NATO.
