We discussed and still are, how much human labor a barrel of fossil fuel is worth.  We all agree that it multiplies human labor greatly.  Combine the work multiplication of fossil fuels and capitalism and you have a car with a supercharger.  A car that a gearhead can't resist. 

Any rich dumfuck could make money using the multiplicative power of oil.  Prior to oil, I'll contend the rich actually has some work to do.  Requiring the rich be somewhat illustrious, with at least a taste of mojo.  But no more.  Even the incompetent among them have their place.



Fossil fuels run a machine so well that that even the work of guidance at the top is farmed out to lackeys.  Talent became a commodity like everything else.  Now AI give capitalism another supercharger.  Fossil fuels combined with capitalism make life much easier for 'the powers that be'.  A.I. does the same.  Exploitation has another door to hide behind, and people do not say no to convenience.  Money has surface tension.  Like raindrops on leaves money groups together.



It is a cosmic force.  Money enlists certain elite types of humans who are fine with the inequities in society which the piling up of money into large mountains of private ownership does.

Money uses oil to promote capitalism as its preferred metabolism.  Oil is an exploitation force multiplier.  A.I.  is another force multiplier, and money likes it to much for it to be resisted.  The only way A.I. is going to be shut down is with a nuclear bomb.

Capitalism is in charge and capitalism loves A.I.  A.I. makes the inequities of life bigger.  It drives people apart, separating people into those who have it and those who don't.  Those who can use it and those who can't.


Are people thinking about how A.I. can make the world better, or are they thinking about how it can make 'their' world better.  In the fourth turning that we are in, the prevailing wind seems to be that 'greed is good'.

A.I. is the ultimate backstage pass.  Not the law.  And resistance is futile.

Or this guy would be free right now.
