What I find fascinating, in a let's say sociological manner is how we've been thoroughly brainwashed to accept things like the complete destruction of middle class by their replacement with AI.
Everybody treats this as something innevitable, like the movement of the tectonical plates.
Everybody knows this is being paid with the giant transfer of wealth from the working classes towards the asset owning class via profilgate government expense, ZIRP and QE policies from the FED and the covid so-called stymulus. This created, via Cantillon effect, inflation for consumers and a bizarre and absolutely abnormal deluge of capital for our financial system masters that let they play God and make us, the plebe, obsolete. And yet we don't question anything.
We are accepting as inevitable and uncontrollable something that only looks to be like that.
I know, we all have our lives, out of the confortable anonymate here, I am a enthusiastic AI Booster. Out of some true zealots, we are all hedging our bets to stay on the right side of the city walls of the new techno-feudalism. But, realistically, how many of us the Musks and Thiels will need after they obsolete most of us, no matter how much skills and knowledge anyone of us may have? Just betting to be on the side of the oppresors is a very long bet my friends.
Nothing about it is inevitable, nothing about it requires, as if it was a law of nature, to be unregulated and the people be damned.
Not so many centuries ago, we had peasants riotting and guillotining their opressors, we had proletarian revolutions. They didn't have encryption, the internet, cell phones, digital radio modes that allow you to talk to some other partisan group accross the globe using a cheap chinese SDR and a simple dipole hang between trees.
Things can be different. We still can force some democracy down their throats.
