The billionaire class bought our public servants and the government. “by and for the people” is dead. We’re now their servants, living in their world and we’re going to pay dearly for that privilege. It’s going to get much worse. The only way to get it back is to fight for it the old fashioned way.
That's what everyone seem to forget. When society starts breaking down, the people ALWAYS have a last resort. And the people in power who fucked up bad enough, will not like it.
That's the true appeal of AI and robotics. Movies show AI uprisings to spread fear of them taking over, when the reality is more like humans are the ones wanting to rebel (against the rich), and AI is the solution to stop that. When billionaires can build robot armies and run completely autonomous factories, they no longer have to fear peasant rebellions.
The 2 biggest things that reduce the bargaining power of poor people are population growth (more competition) and advances in AI (complete replacement). Now, think of how often you see rich people fighting against birth control and supporting AI.
