I fear #WorldWar3 will get much worse before it gets better,
and this is because the “axis” in this war are not nations, but corporations in the military industry like Palantir and the robot-equipped police forces that have been enacted by the politicians who are paid by Palantir to pass laws on behalf of Palantir. The “allies” are not nations but all other ordinary people who will be on the receiving end of this technology, which is now everyone because Palatir is gathering information and profiling everyone as a potential enemy of their “axis.”

Oh sure, as of right now only long-time enemies of the #UnitedStates and Israel, countries like Palestine, Iran, Cuba, and China, are the only people on the receiving end of actual violence by these corporations to varying degrees. As of right now. But anyone with the least bit of knowledge of history knows, it won’t end there, and these technologies will be used more extensively, and protests against it will be criminalized as “terrorism” (as we saw with the case of Palestine Action in the UK).

So what political power will exist to enact laws that would check or balance the political power that the military industry will have over everyone else? How can we pass laws that keep their power in check?

During the Cold War, the unresolved disputes of World War 2 played out in slow motion over the course of 50 years. A fear of a nuclear holocaust was what kept most people, even people in power, from acting too irrationally, most of the time. Although on a few occasions we did come dangerously close to an all-out exchange of nuclear weapons fire.

But with AI technology, especially spying technology, there is no fear that this will lead to mass murder and death world wide, like what we have seen in Palestine. There is only enthusiasm among the politicians and corporate leaders. So they will keep building it up, making it more powerful, with no thought of the future consequences.
