Sweet! I like the humor and "woeful inadequacy" as an artform that AI would have trouble with. AI's going to make it so that only our deepest truths will get past it's fakery. But maybe that's always been what's wanted. And just a thought, that it's not how our civilization will understand evil, or anything really, but how we will, woefully inadequate us.

Great piece. One thing that really strikes me about the characters in Succession is the fear they constantly exhibit. It's an object lesson in what happens when you become your ego. The characters depend on each other but don't trust each other at all. They fear revealing their own ideas, plans, or opinions about even the most trivial things for fear it will be used against them somehow. They are sometimes paralyzed by fear of making the wrong move, and other times wander down a path they know is doomed, because they fear going against the consensus.
