    The robot wasn’t rogue. The streamers were holding the controls. Men deliberately used a machine to harass a girl, then packaged it as entertainment. Social media has turned cruelty into a growth strategy, and the algorithm doesn’t care who gets hurt as long as somebody keeps watching.

      “The Running Man” is a brilliant encapsulation of the “circuses” end of societies in decline. The Arnold movie was decent only because the story is so timeless, the acting and dialogue were unfortunately lulz. A remake of this would be great.
