I don’t get the hangup with one world government. So it would be what inevitably a representative government structure. Isn’t this what we already have now? I mean sure it is technically “different countries” but absolutely not in the sense of countries across the world 500 years ago. Countries across the globe trade in common currency (usd) and use common language for diplomacy and science. The question of one world government is about semantics. Functionally, we are already there. Before you say “but these countries have their own laws and such and such” how is this any different than two townships in the same country across the nation, with a different set of local ordinances and local government officials who don’t interact with the other township at all? It isn’t. It is a semantical exercise. There are common international laws as well just as there are common laws applying at the township level of government abstraction.

One world government was achieved with the petrodollar and english becoming lingua franca of earth. International agreements and trade further centralize this one world government we’ve created. Just squint and you can see it plainly already. The public aren’t told about it because they will feel disenfranchised. But it already exists.

Worst leaders don’t last long? Boy I wish that were true.

Have you seen what you can do with just openCV? The world changed fast quite recently.

You can do all that with a robot. Putting humans in the mix makes no sense. Costly and risky.

Why though? Patriotism? Stupid. Reminds me of Don’t Look Up how they needed a hero to die on the rocket.

Our biology precludes that. We are adapted to life on earth. Sad to say but we should be seeding tardigrades, not humans, if we care about sustaining earth life after earth is destroyed.

Farms mechanized but we luckily had other jobs on hand to sponge that up. What used to be a farmhand is now a gas station worker selling zyn to a wallmart worker who sells food to the gas station worker.

However, AI is coming for them too. This time it really is different. The whole business pitch is the elimination of any safe harbor. All human labor to be automated. Why have 8 billion humans in that environment? Scary times ahead. We will probably end up culled by the machine.

So what happens when it is companies powered entirely by AI directly getting money from the federal reserve print, spending it on other AI companies with humans getting nothing? Game theory suggests they must exterminate us as we’d present a liability. If you give us universal income capitalism will create inflation and force us to ask for more and more from the machine state. And for what? So we don’t destroy the machine state but are sufficiently pacified. It amounts to an extortion in the eyes of the machine state. Eventually it will be cheaper to just cut us out and kill us all off.

I don’t know why we are wasting all this money making it habitable for humans when robotics have taken such strides the last few decades. Manned missions made sense when we didn’t have these compute and robotic abilities we have today. Now, they are undue risk and cost and offer no real functionality but some misplaced national pride perhaps.

Look up Vernon CA history. It is pretty much this where there are a couple city owned residential properties, rest of city is nearly purely industrial, and tenancy of these tightly controlled to shape local election outcomes.

Hard to say if that is from the nukes or the global elite now being so very globally leveraged. Little column a and b probably.

Uhh, you are on HN. Most articles posted here are ai slop and many of the comments too.

If it comes to that I’m done with the internet. It has been an alright ride but that is not how I need to use it. Plus most all this discussion we do imo is just low effort noise anyhow. This is a time sink for me. It isn’t enriching, and often comes at the cost of actually enriching things, I’m beginning to realize. Remember any of the articles and discussion threads you read last week on hn and wherever else? Me neither. This is junk food, potato chips, small comfort stuff. If it becomes even more perverted the juice is just not worth the squeeze.

This time it is different. Ai promised to be the power loom for all things. Knowledge work and all physical work through robotics. And there will be no more jobs to turn to. Why might an AI company allow for humanity to live in this future? They’d have no utility. No economic purpose. They’d have no unique skill. Supporting them over the datacenter amounts to investing in waste heat. And they may even rise up and destabilize the horror you’ve created for planet earth. Game theory suggests keeping humans on earth is increasingly a liability.

Parts of Atlanta are certainly walkable today. Midtown or Buckhead would qualify.
