Was getting ready this morning and the ending of MGS2 came to mind.
It states that GW was the only AI destroyed, and that the S3 Plan’s real purpose is to control human thought to prevent society’s regression in the digital era from trivial information drowning knowledge and truth in the belief that humanity is too immature to handle the flow of information responsibly
Though the villains in MGS2 seemed to have better intentions than the nation states / trolls that are flooding the internet today.
I have a coworker currently playing through that one now. I’m really excited for him to get to the end to see what he thinks about it considering our current circumstances.
