“Humans survive through community”: I agree with this but this is not an eternal truth. What that community looks like and consists of have always changed. Community has meant a group of people we hunted together in a jungle, our neighbors, and now more and more people you hang out online, a mixture of these or other groups etc. I can’t see any reason why a community can’t be a group of artificially intelligent robots in the near future. “Their wealth doesn’t mean shit”: This is a take that is idealistic at best and juvenile at worst. It also reads like an oxymoron. “Wealth” “doesn’t mean shit”. Wealth means everything in many of the world’s societies, western ones especially so.

Imagine: an AI-powered ass wiper for the rich but it goes ballistic in the middle of it all and starts smearing shit all over the rich boomer who thought and AI-powered ass wiper was a good idea.

Jokes aside, I want to note there are many of the rich we don’t see clowning in the media like Müsk.

I fear that we have little time before they become self-sufficient enough on an island like Zuck and don’t need us bickering at each other or outputing wealth for them. Back to the cavemen times where the guys on top control the masses through brute force. This time AI-powered brute force. With advancements in robotics and multimodal AI, what stops Zuck or Musk from training their own army of robots (both humanoid and otherwise) and instruct them to detain or destroy people? They have the means and the data.

It’s crazy how democracy is now implicitly democracy incorporated™ where individuals are silenced for expressing opinions about corporations. Vital institutions for a functioning democracy like media is now owned by big corporations, worse yet, in an increasingly monopolized way, blurring the lines between unelected corporations and elected government (who are also bought by corporations after or before they are elected)
