we’re diving headfirst into the digital rabbit hole, spurred by the brilliantly unsettling BBC show, The Capture. If you haven’t seen it, don’t worry, we’re not spoiling the plot; we’re spoiling the real-world illusion it exposes. Our overall arc? How technology is being weaponized to manufacture reality itself. Today’s mini-arc: the death of evidence. We’ve moved beyond fake news articles you can fact-check. We’ve entered the era of fake reality—deepfakes, manipulated video, AI-generated audio—where your own eyes and ears become the most unreliable witnesses in the courtroom of public opinion. It’s not about lying about what happened anymore; it’s about creating a new, impeccably produced version of what happened, starring a digital you who says things you never said, doing things you never did. It’s a digital witness protection program, but instead of protecting you, it’s protecting the narrative by throwing you under a beautifully rendered, AI-generated bus.
