I could squint a little and make a case that this represents a CEO who is about to spend a shitload of company money on AI (or any anti-human venture) rather than employees.
Huh. Do you particularly care about movies? I think I’m old enough that movie history (watching the classics) was a pretty common hobby… these days, I guess people are patient gaming and there’s a lot more anime to catch up on, on top of all the scrolling.
I did watch a lot of movies. Tho not a junkie. I guess watching wizard of Oz is very much an US thingy, I only know it from cartoon series like Simpsons or so.
It also has some damn good music… somewhere over the rainbow and if I only had a brain are bangers, and Judy Garland was a touchstone for gay boomers…
Understanding references was part of the draw, too… if I keep seeing a reference to something, I want to watch it. The biggest problem is being unaware that something even is a reference. The Simpsons DVD commentary is eye-opening in that regard.
Is there a word for memes that totally lack the context of their original images to the point of being opposite the intention of the creator?
Because I think the next scene is Ledger’s Joker setting that pile of money on fire.
AI does that

There are people who will never know, the movie is 18 years old now
Yeah, but isn’t it in the pantheon of Movies Everyone’s Seen like The Wizard of Oz and The Matrix?
I’ve never seen wizard of Oz. And idk, there have been several Batman movies since then…

That’s correct. The original story is about American monetary policy.
Cryptocity where the streets are paved with blockchains and the mayor is AI.
At least he had a proper understanding of the value of a dollar.
