Nice essay, good analysis of the Machavellian types that thrive around unlimited money, power and bullshit. Would a scene from another Russian novel about playing Russian roulette while partying would fit here? Sure you capture the spirit of that but nearly everyone has severe dopamine addiction while online these days. It has to be outrageous and over-the-top to get clicks and resharing!

The internet has become a circus and AI keeps us all on the freak show and hall of distorted mirror images.

Make it into a script/screenplay, perhaps?
