Sadly, I feel like the whole "separation of powers" thing is under attack in America and elsewhere as power continues to consolidate over time - even where it pertains to branches within government. Traditional media has long been lost in many cases, and even "alternative" media is so flooded with bad actors that it's nearly impossible to get signal through the noise.

Not to get too dour, but if media is in this state now, I hate to think of where it will be once AI starts to gain a real foothold in our political discourse. I assume we'll start to see the effects of this really become evident this years, with American federal elections ramping up.
