I'm afraid that Justin is onto something here. If these AI things ever work - and surely someday they will - they are going to be more disruptive than anything in our lifetimes.

@RonJeffries The history of the revolutionary 19th century is relevant. “The revolutions were shaped by a wide variety of causes, which were linked to the short- and long-term socioeconomic transformations brought about by industrialization and the political legacy of the French Revolution.”
Those revolutions all failed, even when people *had* a political legacy to look back to and were under a far weaker surveillance state. I suspect the oligarchs agree w/ Justin, and think they’re safe.
@RonJeffries I have no idea.
I wish I did. Even if wrong, certainty is comfortable.
