The sci-fi movie Brazil (nothing much to do with the country), is set in a beauracratic dystopic future and at the start of the movie a literal real world bug falls into “the machine that never makes mistakes”. The error plays out over the course of the movie having a somewhat (negative) butterfly effect.

I feel the movie well captures the tone of the current moment.

Worth a watch.

For anyone who wants to watch, there are a few endings in similar flavors to the Blade Runner endings.

I guess like the Penfield Mood Organ you can dial how you want to feel. But you probably shouldn’t pick ‘good’.

you should probably let a machine pick for you, one that is aware of the choices made for others
