Following up with the Dark Mask Army ref sheet I did a while back. I designed some "power armor drones" that's supposed to be like the heavy support guys for the regular Dark Mask troops. Inspired by the Scopedog mechs of Armored Trooper VOTOMS and the Meta Knight from Kirby.

So... why did tech got ambivalent and dystopian?

My take is that it's because in the 90's and 2000's digital technology as stil focused on middle class and upper-mid consumers. It was about making an actual product: a camera, a music player, a virtual space on the internet. a real thing with value that people would use, eve if it was just to entertain themselves.

That started to change in the 2010's, with the data markets and algorithms. That's when it all became detached from a personal consumer and it became about catering to companies: data collection tools, automation of the workforce. All these are things we as people have no use for but corpos and companies do. The newest tech like LLMS, video generators, biometric scans are all not made for us, they are only sold to us as a sort of collateral to get some extra cash.

Having done videos for 16 years I have the longer view on things than a lot of people. So I did a discussion on the Xbox Layoffs.
