Their goal:🚨a corporate-dictatorship -we'll have fiefdoms run by tech corps. You've a group of super-rich elites with a very apocalyptic vision of where society & the world are headed.

“If you’re rich: handsome & can sing"-Yiddish. You’re rich *can now do everything. We see this Dunning-Kruger approach with everyone from Musk to Bezos going into bus' *no experience & making a mess of things.

Good article - I liked this:
“By removing all subjectivity from thought — by, in short, separating intelligence from being — the mages of AI allow themselves to indulge in tautology. They reduce intelligence to that which their machines can do and then claim their machines are intelligent.”

I absolutely agree that the root of the problem is an economic one, and things must be dealt with there in order to be properly fixed. However I don't think that we can reform the market system in a way that will prevent this from happening again. I think that as long as we use a money based system, people will find ways to accumulate it, as well as use it to subvert any laws we enact to prevent it. That's how we got here in the first place. It would only be making things a little better for a little while.

But even if we could do that, our troubles are deeper than that. Because we have long been capable of producing a much higher standard of living for everyone, but continuing to use a scarcity-based economic system, not only have we been simply keeping most people poorer than they need to be, but we have been wasting massive amounts of resources in doing so, resulting in the environmental degradation we are seeing the results of everywhere. We have to ditch the outdated system that is creating artificial scarcity by its very nature and employ a modern, scientific system that was designed for this very problem, that has both sustainability and efficiency built right in. Howard Scott's Technocracy is such a system: technate.org/tiki-index.php?pa
The result would be no more environmental degradation (by whatever countries use this anyway), no rich or poor classes, a much higher standard of living for everyone, very little work needed to produce that standard of living, and much more.

Yes, that is certainly what we deserve. However, while it may be theoretically possible to make every such entity non-profit, as long as money exists there will always be the temptation to find ways to circumvent and eventually change the laws to allow accumulation of profit again. We've already seen this happen. The Soviet Union made profit illegal, and backed it up with a brutal dictatorship, and it still succumbed to this temptation, changing the laws bit by bit until it became the kleptocracy it is now.

What is needed is to change the rules of the game entirely, from a method of exchange to one of distribution. That would make accumulation of wealth require physical effort, and thus greatly reduce how much can be done. Combine that with a post-scarcity society (yes, we can do that today, and have been able to for nearly a century now), and the motivation to do this virtually disappears.

Fortunately, we have such a system already developed, one that takes into consideration all the problems one might think of having read just what I've written above: technate.org/tiki-index.php?pa

Inexcusable since America has had the resources and technology to provide all of its citizens with a high standard of living for about a century now.

Your first paragraph basically describes Howard Scott's Technocracy, which we could have had for almost a century now. Instead, we have a society that is using technology in almost all the wrong ways, like AI (as you show here). But this idea can't happen until enough people know about it (that really is the only thing holding us back), so until then, UBI would be a big help to almost everybody until we can get that going.

Plus I think that it would help demonstrate the idea that investing in people beforehand without expecting anything in return actually gives a greater "return on investment" (in the general sense, not just profits) than making them have to pay for the things they need to be able to thrive. This idea is integral to Technocracy.

Hannah Arendt: The State, Society, and the Danger of Technocracy

⚠️📚 For Hannah Arendt, the fusion of state and society leads to totalitarianism. Politics must remain a space of freedom and deliberation, distinct from the management of needs. An essential critique in the age of technocracy. #Arendt #Politics #Technocracy #Freedom #Megamachine #Democracy 1.

If you're confused about why #Trump wants to invade Greenland so badly, you only have to look to the past. Elon Musk's grandfather believed in a 'Technocracy' that included Canada, America, Mexico, parts of South America (including the Panama Canal) and Greenland and it stands to reason this is junior's goal too. 🇺🇸

This is all a bit dark, but there's still hope.

@DoomsdaysCW
It's important to keep in mind that these people didn't create the problem, it has existed long before them. The people in power were shown a long time ago that it's the system that doesn't work, that it's due for a collapse and it will wreck the planet in so doing. They were given a choice, that the only way to avoid this was to accept radical changes in how our society works, adopt a sustainable, resource-based economy where everyone shared equally in that wealth. But what they didn't like about this option is that there would be no room for the rich and powerful, because money would be useless and politics would become obsolete. They'd have to give up everything they were raised to believe that they were entitled to.

So what did they do? Some stuck their head in the sand and tried to pretend that it wasn't true. Others, like FDR, tried to find a gentler, less radical solution, but he died before he could fully implement it. But then there were others, who realized that this was a shrinking/sinking hill and they wanted to make sure that sure that they were on top of it. So they doubled down on it. At first they tried to do this quietly, using propaganda and suffocating education to make it easier to do in the long run. Now, we're seeing the plan go full steam ahead. Why now I'm not sure, I can only speculate. But it does mean that we have less time than ever to choose a different path, that one we had so long ago, because the longer we wait the more costly it will be, and the less resources we'll have to pull it off. So there will come a point when we won't have the resources to make this choice anymore, and it'll be disaster for the entire human race, and the rest of the planet too.
