All this tracking of people and things could lead the world into an intersection of various Black_Mirror scenarios.

Its one thing if mapping and tracking tech can help people, but there is also a potential to reduce a person to being like a mouse in a maze in a lab.

https://westworld.fandom.com/wiki/The_Maze 

The HBO version of  Westworld was in the business about gathering as much information and telemetry about humans as much as possible. With such technology, people could could have counterfeit or robotic imitations.

The Blazing Saddles of Westworld in the 1970s

Blazing_Saddles was released half a year after the 1973 Westworld_film. While Blazing_Saddles and Westworld aren't connected, they are both Westerns set in a fabricated environment. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westworld_(film)#Plot Of course in the 1970s, most people didn't have a frame of reference as to how amusement parks might evolve over several decades & generations. There wasn't a general frame of reference for Virtual-Reality (VR) ,  AR , MR_and_XR , yet.

https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7354138  

While Westworld consisted of a few interconnected amusement parks, Blazing Saddles broke the 4th wall to reveal a larger aspect of the backlot and production facilities within a modern urban setting

https://collider.com/mel-brooks-fourth-wall-breaks

"The resulting brawl between townspeople, railroad workers, and Lamarr's thugs literally breaks the fourth wall and bursts onto a neighboring movie set where director Buddy Bizarre is filming a Busby Berkeley-style top-hat-and-tails musical number. The melee then extends into the studio commissary for a food fight and spills out of the Warner Bros. film lot onto the streets of Burbank.

Lamarr escapes the brawl and hails a taxi, instructing the cabbie, "Drive me off this picture!" He hides at Mann's Chinese Theatre, which is showing the premiere of Blazing Saddles. As he settles into his seat, he sees onscreen Bart arriving on horseback outside the theatre. Bart blocks Lamarr's escape and shoots him in the groin. Bart and Jim then enter the theater to watch the end of the film.

Back in the film, Bart announces to the townspeople that he is moving on because his work is done and he has grown bored with protecting them. Riding out of town, he finds Jim, still eating his popcorn, and invites him along to "nowhere special". The two friends briefly ride into the desert before dismounting and boarding a limousine which drives off into the sunset." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blazing_Saddles#Plot , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCkmfmFYobE 

Blast the bowl.

The HBO Westworld_TV_series didn't break the 4th wall, but it told an updated and expanded story from various points in its timeline. The ultimate reveal was telling the last part of the story from a VR or simulation program perspective. There were some hints or clues of this right from the first season.  

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westworld_(TV_series)#Summary

https://www.reddit.com/r/westworld , https://www.reddit.com/r/SimulationTheory 

World_on_a_Wire was released 2 months after Westworld (1973) and might as well be in another universe like Alphaville is set. 

However, they are all various takes on a fabricated reality, as is The_Truman_Show

Whether or not the Earth is part of someones simulation or creation, exploring the concept of synchronicity can reveal peculiar things about the nature of reality.

The Final Destination of American Airlines Flight 587

 The Final_Destination movie series depicts a manipulating force that causes lethal things to happen to certain people. The main theme of these movies is how some people avoid what could have been a deadly incident but something still gets then later on. That was the case for, Hilda-Yolanda-Mayol. In stead of dying in September 2001, she died in November on American_Airlines_Flight_587.

The chain of events seem to have started around 9:11 am on November 12 in 2001.

"The aircraft taxied to Runway 31L behind a Japan Airlines (JAL) Boeing 747-400 (JAL Flight 47) preparing for takeoff. The JAL flight was cleared for takeoff at 9:11:08 am EST. At 9:11:36, the tower controller cautioned Flight 587 about potential wake turbulence from a preceding B747. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Airlines_Flight_587#Accident , http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20011112-0 , https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/AAR0404.pdf

I have provided a link to snopes.com/fact-check/second-scythe because of its reference to, https://www.k-state.edu/english/baker/english320/Maugham-AS.htm

The first Final_Destination movie was released in March 2000, so that means writing and filming must have at least started in 1999. So many times in books, movies and TV productions, similar scenarios or events will happen. A lot of things can easily be dismissed as just a another coincidence. However, a sense of synchronicity might be perceived when too many peculiar data-points are noticed. 

"The original idea was written by Jeffrey Reddick as a spec script for The X-Files in order to get a TV agent. "I was actually flying home to Kentucky and I read a story about a woman who was on vacation and her mom called her and said, 'Don't take the flight tomorrow, I have a really bad feeling about it.' She switched flights and the plane that she would have been on crashed," said Reddick. "I thought, that's creepy—what if she was supposed to die on that flight?" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Destination_(film)#Development

Hilda-Yolanda-Mayol is one of several people that was able to temporarily avoid Death

Is the Earth like someones planetary version of WestWorld? An amusement park, laboratory, farm or garden in which various orchestrations & simulations take place?

The Problem with a Humanoid Robot Puppet

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j31dmodZ-5c At this point its more like a puppet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telepresence#Implementation_of_human_sensory_elements

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telerobotics#Interfaces In contrast AgI can start to run circles around people and even do backflips. 

A remotely controlled robot with human intelligence behind the scenes is still just a puppet. Such tech is actually great when a person needs to do a task from another location. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telerobotics#Telemedicine

In 2009 there was the movie Surrogates in which people lived a partially remotely-controlled life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogates#Plot Each of the main characters in the story had their own lifelike haptic puppet. You are back at home with something like a GoPro 


https://pirates.fandom.com/wiki/Pirates_of_the_Caribbean_(ride) 

https://www.tiktok.com/@nostalgiamountain/video/7247667085562662149?lang=en In this setup JD as Captain Jack_Sparrow never required haptic link, because its all just automatic puppetry.
