Comment on AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over
Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks agoYeah, but my point was that our current economic system can’t deal with, not that we can’t deal with it in general. Migrating away from the current system would require the powerful to give up their power, which they won’t do willingly, even as the walls are closing in. (In fact, when it comes to global warming, the walls are closing in).

Systems adapt. Extrapolation based on current state is often fallacious.
Implicit in that statement is a huge and largely unfounded assumption that there’s only one possible future state, and that it’s as you say it is.
And, even if it means that the powerful are forced to give up power, well, that’s happened before and it’s not impossible that it’ll happen again.
