“We’re going to need the help of robots and other forms of, uhhh, I guess you could say employment,” he said, shrugging. “We’re going to be employing a lot of artificial things.”

It doesn't work on a large scale because people with Cluster B personality disorders will always corrupt any system we come up with.

And historically those systems are typically structured in a way that allows authoritarianism and dictators to take over more quickly. The government has to control everything, which creates a much smaller point of failure.

Capitalism is a shit system, but it took ~200 years to corrupt to this point because the power is more distributed (at first).

    The US is reaching the average lifespan of an Empire. Capitalism has not been particularly good at preventing collapse, it has been about average.

    It's not just the US; we're just speed running the end while the western world follows behind.

    US exceptionalism once again.

    "We're not shit, everyone is shit! But we're better at being shit than everyone else!"

    Okay then.

    Feel free to keep your head buried in the sand, then.

    Because "everyone else is doing the same thing" isn't a form of dismissing the problem and burying your head in the sand.

    Acknowledging that a problem is more wide spread than just one country isn't dismissing anything. In fact, I addressed that fact that the US is worse than the rest.

    I think your reading comprehension needs some work.

    Yeah, then we can have President Grok whose opinion can be changed by whomever touches the code.

    The only thing worse than a person whose opinion changes based on the last person they talk to, is an AI whose opinion changes based on what oligarch or employee was able to sneak something into the model/code.

    Depends on when you consider the corruption of the wealthy came in. The Civil War was fought over slavery and it was because rich land barons in the south didn't want to have workers they paid anything to. So they also greased government hands to try and keep it. So the rot set in quickly, it just took longer to metastasize.
