Completely aside, “Torment Nexus” would be an awesome name for a thrash metal band.
Having revealed my taste in music, I’m not in a position to claim high-brow cultural credentials - but even I can see that our would-be tech overlords are a bunch of culturally illiterate goons. Sam Altman complaining that Oppenheimer “missed the mark” on being inspirational to a generation of would-be scientists in the way the Social Network was to a generation of would-be startup founders was perhaps the tech take to end all tech takes.
Confession time: I have to this day not seen the entirety of The Social Network. As a friend of mine said back when it was new, “The only question is which asshole will end up with all the money. If I cared about that, I’d read the business section.”

Trent Reznor soundtrack though.
I was a teenager in the '90s; I don’t need to watch a movie for that. :-P
