are you interested in ... real life meta? jokes aside, with the advent of generatative ai and right wing governments forming in some of the most prominent countries on earth, are we heading to some sort of techno feudalist economic system?
I've no doubt they would try to implement systems similar to China like social credit scores, and they've already announced they're basically training AI to pre-emptively accuse people of crime. But it won't be easy to implement AI surveillance here because people will resist it, but they have to resist it hard if they don't want it to win out eventually. Not sure if we can trust the public to care as much as they need to (probably not). With no resistance they would happily get rid of things like cash money and have all digital credits tracked. They would claim this reduces resource waste and crime. Patrolling surveillance robots are also becoming normalized. They may or may not implement UBI once they've felt they've kicked enough "undesirables" out of the country. With AI takeover, either necessary hiring minimums or UBI will become required for society to continue to function. Trump is giving the appearance of making the US less "globohomo" but not actually committing to it, it actually wouldn't be a bad thing if there companies were forced to source more of their labor in their own countries but you won't see Trump giving them penalties for not. Just empty gestures that only end up frustrating average people like whatever the fuck he was trying to do with shipping from China. Anyway I could go on but you don't wanna see this side of me it's all conspiracy it's all stage we're all gonna die lol.
