Nah but that’s what he wanted, he is the truest form of tech bro, destroy the world, refuse to accept consequences of his actions, weaseled his way out of the situation and managed to, in the wake of unimaginable human suffering, get more power over people and has a god complex tell me this isn’t some or all the characteristics of people like Peter Theil, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, Bill Gates, hell even Tim Cook and Steve Jobs before him. Punishment doesn’t stop this sort of behavior but removing the possibility of someone having that level of control over others is the only way but the richest and most powerful have always sought ways of amassing more power not realizing that that leads to worse off situations for everyone including themselves, Horizon did great encapsulating that trait in Faro, but be it him, the people behind Skynet, the Matrix or whatever other tech dystopia that tech bros seem pathologically unable to not try to make happen in the worst way possible is only the beginning, they seem to forget that even with advanced tech that serves their needs and wants, which won’t help their mental health, the people lower down on the rungs of society have brains, wants and needs, and they have more expertise in all sorts of things than the 1% are except for mass exploitation. This inevitably goes wrong one of a few ways, either everyone dies from the tech, or so many that societal collapse is inevitable not great and even if society survives it can’t functionally reconstitute itself; 2 they win and kill off or supress enough of society that the society becomes less productive and instead of fighting the powerful they flee or don’t participate in wealth generating for the rich were they don’t have to, maybe to rise up again later or the economy of the region just ignores them completely and the government protects themselves from their people more than anything else, or 3rd your revolution with terror campaigns against any and all who can be credibly accused of being part of the former tyrants. In all 3 cases the richer people end up poorer overall because wealth flees or dies in autocracy.
