Synthetic Hegemony – AI and tech corporations shaping reality itself

This goes beyond just control of data—it’s about AI actively shaping human perception, knowledge, and even truth.

• Generative AI can create realistic deepfakes, rewriting history and blurring the line between real and artificial.
• Recommendation systems reinforce ideological bubbles, leading people to believe in entirely different realities.
• As AI becomes more advanced, it could control major aspects of governance, war, and culture, deciding what is "real" for billions of people.
  This is not just power over infrastructure, but over reality itself.
