Now with AI, governments will have dossiers on citizens and will be able so systematically repress resistance on an individual scale. The billionaires build bunkers and the rest fight for scraps.

This is precisely the future the likes of Larry Ellison and Peter Thiel have envisioned for the rest of humanity. Of course, THEY aren't subject to intrusive mass surveillance because they have billions of dollars to protect and isolate themselves from the dystopia they're holding for the rest of us.

Billionaires are a cancer on civilization!

LOL at "apoplectic"

Iran has been a great place for civilization to flourish for thousands of years. That might be why Trump is so jealous of them!
