Individual material accumulation for it’s sake, at a global scale, is not exactly a sure-fire way to achieve…much.

It seems like the true power of AI is going to be diametrically opposed to the current status quo as soon as it reaches a certain level of ‘intelligence’.

As we approach these unchartered levels of sophistications and AGI’s etc. become a true imminent threat, it seems to me that like most tools of power available to the masses will be labeled, hoarded, and restricted by the same...people.

So can the tech advance fast enough before it is sterilized and can have enough oomph to make core changes vs optimizing what we have today.

We’ll see?..
