This deserve a much longer post, but let me try. I can't be alone in noticing the big shift in the last 1-2 years in how the ruling class communicates & acts. I think it's mostly driven by the fact that AI significantly changes the power dynamic between labor and capital; and the ruling class realizes they don't have to play "nice" anymore. Palestinian Gen0cide was a big catalyst too; because it's been so openly committed and the only way to ignore it has been surfacing supremacist tendencies even many educated people internally carried. A point of no return. Meanwhile, Microsoft for the first time admitted that AI isn't about productivity but about labor replacement. Anthropic is working with US military. Altman, Zuckerberg kissing Trump's feet. Musk, Thiel, Andreessen, even Brian Armstrong are now openly spreading far-right conspiracy theories. Callousness is not limited to tech either. Journalism (NYT), healthcare (UHG), education (Col.Uni.); all power players are brazenly attacking the 99%.

Heavy stuff. I think it's a dumb play on top of being insanely anti human. I think there are very, very few paths through this transition to a planet self aware that it's economic systems (how everyone eats -or doesnt) are not sustainable. And most proposed replacements are untenable, or would have the same result. I'm on team Hail Mary build collaborative superintelligence before it all crumbles. I do strongly feel that there is a species/planet intelligence, and we may yet find our way not only through, but in a much better place. I don't think the plutocrats and oligarchs and authoritarians and military intelligence realize they are just as boned as everyone if they succeed in their rampage.

I'm not sure either way. It's uncharted territory but I don't trust those in power today (not only referring to politicians) to navigate this in a humane way :/ https://warpcast.com/chainleft/0x9fd3d682
