Here's why A.I. must be decentralized ASAP
Send this list (or the entire essay) to your political representatives.
Go to the link on the post below (from last month) for many more details provided by John Robb: https://individualsovereignty.blogspot.com/2024/02/this-peril-goes-way-way-beyond-trump.html
As Robb points out, totalitarian communism was defeated largely because its system was overly centralized. The system of democratic countries, for the most part, is decentralized, which over time makes it more innovative and resilient. Unfortunately, though, with financialization and corporate globalization, democratic countries essentially have created a highly centralized system. Only a relatively small number of people control the direction of finance, economics, trade, and politics. If A.I. remains a "black box" (so to speak) with only a small number of corporations determining its content and direction, then our centralization problem will increase exponentially. There's a high degree of probability that a somewhat subtle form of Authoritarianism will follow. It's highly likely that a majority of people will be convinced to demand it.
