The rich have failed to use AI to pivot their wealth into global automated fascism.
Doesn't mean they will stop trying.
It only stops when we redistribute their wealth or they die.
Redistribution of wealth is a temporary solution if we don't destroy the underlying systems that allow for such individuals to exist.
They have, however, made great progress creating tools that destroy consensual reality. Which was the point all along.
Mmmm, less the outright point, more a desired side effect. It helps keep the masses in line if they don't know what's real, but doesn't directly concentrate wealth on the scale they want.
That's a better way of putting the causal chain. That said, ultimately the oligarchs' goal is to "concentrate wealth," so having a reality destroying machine is a really accelerant for that process.
I guess we'll all have to die, then. Can't let billionaires suffer any consequences!
Fixed that for you.
