How Will A.I. Play Out?
This essay was written by a human using their analog brain
Assuming human nature doesn’t change…
1.) A.I. destroys millions of human jobs
Remember when the iPhone came out and one item replaced your watch, alarm clock, calculator, phone, scanner, camera, notebook, and wallet?
Imagine how many hundreds of millions of jobs will disappear when Elon Musk’s Optimus robot becomes your house cleaner, lawyer, bookkeeper, accountant, banker, gardener, landscaper, massage therapist, physiotherapist, chiropractor, doctor, pharmacist, dentist, personal trainer, fashion consultant, shopper, cook, tutor, babysitter, psychotherapist, accountant, bodyguard, dogwalker, pet groomer, plumber, electrician, roofer, painter, roofer, air conditioning maintenance person, car mechanic, pool cleaner, barber/hairstylist, car washer, home security system, air quality monitor, self defense trainer, yoga instructor, self-defense coach, manicurist, psychotherapist, marriage counsellor, and personal assistant.
Plus it will generate articles, books, podcasts, TV shows, and movies custom-made just for you, in real time.
2.) A.I. creates <1% of the jobs it destroyed
Capitalist sycophants and other Mammon worshippers still haven’t come around on this one yet, but they will.
A.I. is unlike any technology in human history.
This is it.
All previous technologies have replaced manual tasks.
The techbro goal for AI is to replace human thought.
A.I. is the omni-machine.
All previous technologies did a thing.
A.I. will do everything.
At least, it will do everything the shareholder economy is willing to pay for.
“Non-productive” things like loving your neighbor, taking care of children, caring for the environment, and serving dying grandparents will still be done by humans, but don’t expect a fat paycheck from the AIconomy. These things don’t have any “value” to shareholders.
3.) Elite-controlled governments refuse to tax the rich
Nothing new here.
Despite the mounting joblessness crisis — it will rapidly approach Great Depression levels in the next five years — governments will NOT meaningfully re-distribute the gains accruing to the billionaire and trillionaire class.
4.) Governments ramp up borrowing from elite-controlled banks to support millions of jobless families.
Politicians aren’t doing this out of the good of their hearts.
They know they’ll lose power if they don’t.
So long as the people have bread for their childredn, they won’t cut off Marie Antoinette’s head.
In our lifetime, Universal Credit/UBI/Welfare/Income Support will be the way most people subsist.
You think government debt levels are crazy today?
The 2030s will say, “Hold my robot-crafted beer.”
5.) Bankers print that money to lend out of thin air
Because that’s what bankers do.
When governments come knocking to borrow trillions in cash to keep their people from rioting, the banks will fire up their money-printers.
Of course, taxpayers will have to pay back this made-up money and interest with real work, but that’s a problem for the bottom 99%.
Printing more money will obviously inflate the money supply, which means…
6.) Price inflation follows rapidly
See: math.
As trillions of extra dollars flow into the economy to keep the jobless masses from starving, the deluge of cash will make the Covid money-print look like a light shower.
Ten years from now, your weekly grocery shop will be 3–10X what you’re currently paying. Don’t even think about your energy bills or rent.
7.) Inflation = everyone except the elites gets materially poorer
…even though half the population will be paper millionaires, and those with jobs will make six figures.
Extra zeroes don’t mean you’re materially richer.
I’m already a literal centra-trillionaire:
8.) Prices continue to compound until society breaks
We’ll look at today’s government debt figures and chuckle at how small a few trillion seemed.
That is, when we aren’t weeping because the cost of everything is beyond our wildest imagination.
(Some governments might even re-price… lob off a few zeroes… to give the illusion that price inflation isn’t totally out of control.)
Compounding inflation always leads to civil wars and revolutions.
That’s why the elites are gold-rushing for A.I. control of politics, surveillance, the military, and money itself, before the breaking point.
Then they can quell the inevitable uprisings and usher in an A.I.-controlled neo-feudalism for all.
M’lord.
The clock is ticking
We have 6–18 months to make Christian Economics go global or humanity is in MAJOR trouble.
Christonomics basics include:
Sustenance rights for all (food, shelter, heat, etc.)
Honest money that doesn’t lose its value.
No profit on lending (including shelter.)
Jubileeing debt.
Contributive work instead of parasitism.
The end of wealth hoarding.
Fairness-based taxation.
A robust social safety net for the poor, the vulnerable, and the elderly.
(PS —if you wan early access to my new book on Christian economics, message me here.)
Everyone needs to know that a moral, loving, just, reasonable, sustainable, mathematically-sane alternative to shareholder techno-slavery exists.
To paraphrase the poet:
Do not go gentle into that dark night…
