  • This is really the of stuff dystopian scifi.

    A somewhat cliched saying comes to my mind when reading this article.

    “The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.” [1]

    Hopefully, there will eventually be pushback against this techno-feudalism and oligarchy. For what it’s worth this seems to always happen in history. Ruling elites (in our case oligarchs and their promoters; the media, economists, politicians) consolidate their power and start to become disconnected from reality.

    As a side note, it’s funny that AI-generated videos have themes of dystopia and rebellion against the system.
