This happens in AI 2027 as well. I'll let you form your own opinion on if this is a good or bad thing, but it's certainly notable how many people in the AI space are American civilizational chauvinists.

Because those too young to remember are being misled by people old enough to know better: the idea Obama was a popular president who everyone thought was patriotic and normal, did well with white working class voters, and boosted Democrats is not true. That's not what happened.

Any retirement you may have saved up, or that your parents saved, is tied up in this guy who thinks he built a wish-granting genie. Any government that thought its people were worthy of protection or capable of revolution would have stopped this years ago.

And it’s getting to the point that you can’t just “log off” anymore to escape this shit. Even things without screens are bent and broken toward these violent algorithms of value extraction.

The demands on energy alone (which is also driven by imperial wars) contribute to rising costs. But also remember the people who own all the food are using this tech to find out how much they can squeeze out of you. There’s no end to it.
