That's what I'm thinking. Carlson is the financial, industrial, old media capital faction which is at odds with the techno-capital faction with the "move fast and break things" mantra and the virtualization-poisoned brain which I think might be even more important toxic than financial abstractions.

I can absolutely see the tech bros pushing for nukes under the mentality that they can fix it with a patch in the next update and what's a bunch of NPCs worth anyway when they don't even produce SaaS let alone their own a.i. models.
