Futurology

“I am more excited to figure out how we can charge people a lot of money for a really great automated software engineer or other kind of agent than I am making some number of dimes with an advertising-based model.”

Some people will argue this isn't replacing humans, just creating additional jobs for AI, and the human ones are safe. Somehow, I doubt it.

Also, Meta & Google are hardly making 'dimes' from selling advertising.

The crypto-industry is spending hundreds of millions to push its agenda in Washington, claiming the U.S. is in decline and advocating for global "network states" run by business owners. (self.futurology)

What had once been at the fringes of right-wing libertarianism is now mainstream in Washington. Greenland has long been on the radar of the crypto-libertarians as a territory to start their 'network states' dream; coincidentally, just as their cash has captured Washington politicians, the US is now talking of invading it.

Is there a more harmful dynamic at play? If those who believe your country is in irreversible decline are put in charge, might they intentionally worsen its state to prove their point? Some argue this is already happening.

Coincidentally, some might argue that is happening too.
