Wow! I'm treating this as serious (but bearing in mind I'm talking to
the spikester). Still even in taxifornia can technology itself accumulate
wealth and power on its own behalf.
I'm not just idly musing here. I may be wrong in the way I'm reading
things. But if folks will go out of their way to vote just to keep people
they don't like out of power and if they are already concerned about
jobs, how is it that the AI with its human proxies (who'd also be
massive beneficiaries of its wealth creation strategies and ability to
draw better future maps etc) would not evoke a huge backlash?
Could this be the show stopper on a fast takeoff singularity using AI?
Unless say its a powerful government using the AI for its own
purposes?

Brett
