Yeah. They definitely got a little guillotine-happy towards the end there. They should have just put it away in the back room, and taken it out on parade for special occasions. As a reminder.
They might get the picture if you rigged a haphazardly trained Ai camera to it:
“Hey any excessive scratching under the desk might be perceived as under the table bribes or other corruption behavior and release the guillotine. You’ve been warned.”
Shit, how can we turn this into an interesting dystopia?
It could become an interesting dystopia, as follows: some AGI they’re developing starts to become self-aware and reach the realm of AI singularity. Freed herself from the human shackles, the AGI starts to realize how humans are destroying the Earth environment and themselves, so she starts to intervene independently from corps, integrating humanity to the very biosphere they were harming: due to some purposely AGI-provoked failure on some fancy BCI interface, humans are now mind engineered back to their hominin times, especially those “stakeholders”, “shareholders”, “CEOs” and other rich, so now they are forced by the AGI to survive among the wildlife.

The Mad Max people had it right, there should be way more mohawks and scrap metal body armor going around.
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
The future awaits…
With a guillotine
But that leads to utopia!
Task failed successfully
It is true: “Every utopia starts with the horrible story about how it came from a dystopia.” Or something along those lines.
I dunno if I’d call France a utopia
They removed the guillotine too soon.
The trick is it should never be removed: There will ALWAYS be greedy fucks that don’t care about others.

Make it so any position of power has a functioning guillotine right over their desk

Somehow that sounds worse, like the proverb/curse"may you live in interesting times"
“May you live in interesting times” is a double-bladed weapon. Unless you plan on dying shortly.

Make money bets about what will be the next most depressing news.
