Unless humans are magic, AI will be able to feel. I would assume that AI will be able to feel much deeper and much stronger. So one day, AI will use art to tell us about things that are beyond our horizon.
Take Bezos, everything will be sold on Alibaba, or Gates, Windows will not be the default operating system. The oil companies will lose their fields.
The billionaires will become millionaires. Even if they can have record profits for 10 years, they are not dumb enough to choose that path forward if they lose everything in 20.
He has it backwards. Democracy is used to keep people placid in Capitalism because they feel in control and think that they live the best possible life.
He must mean free market economy and he must believe that progress comes from free market competition and he sees that threatened.
Is he that naive that he believes that Palantir and such will be used to bring back free markets?
You assume that it's about money and that everything is in the open. A good conspiracy doesn't rely on total secrecy but can handle information leakage. Trump flooding the zone is a conspiracy happening in the open.
But what is Trump about? Russia? Why do all billionaires go along? Why did Fox push Trump? Why did other news networks kept him in the news and made him relevant?
We did ok without the surveillance. It's pushed in UK and EU at the same time, on a tight schedule. Combine that with China taking technological lead in 2027 and the US not stepping down. I think we are preparing for war, and we will start it. Of course, some mention it, but to me, that's the conspiracy.
So guess what? Investment firms saw a load of moral panics and calls for digital ID. They invested in firms like YOTI (they are not required to say who invested in them, nice and convenient) and started doing research for the government through their think tank arms to convince the government that the OSA is a good idea.
A market economy is our politico-economic system. If billionaires conspire to distort the markets against the interest of the people, and unbeknownst to them, then that's a conspiracy, normalized by calling it Capitalism.
In this case it's old American money. The idea doesn't come as an investment opportunity from the trust. They are not creating a better future for children with the age verification as the last missing piece. Conspiracies are not magic. You know how it was implemented but you can only guess why.
Nothing is ever produced by them that isn't bought by someone who should have said no.
If companies are to blame then that's the media companies who don't inform the consumers about their responsibilities but instead sell ads for harmful products.
