Satirizing Silicon Valley is pointless in 2026. This show proves it

# The Problem With Satirizing Tech CEOs in 2026 A new AMC comedy called *The Audacity* tries to mock ruthless tech billionaires, but it arrives at an awkward moment—real Silicon Valley executives are already doing things so outrageous (like openly firing workers to replace them with AI) that fiction can't compete. The show itself is well-made but feels like a less entertaining version of HBO's *Silicon Valley*, which covered similar ground years ago when satire was actually needed.
