Tbh I’m less afraid of Terminator than I am of the elite. Many times I feel the end of the world sound more liberating than the relationship with my boss. Here are examples of how human power relations are already in the way of imagined dystopian AGI:
1. Alienating sensation in your work
2. Nothing you create within an institution/corporation is actually yours
3. Time doesn’t really belong to you since there are very few cases in which you don’t have to exchange labor for survival
4. Any war can happen in any country at any lifetime and you may be forced to die
5. Most young people cannot acquire a roof over their heads and many will not be able to, ever in their own lifetime
6. Costs of treating most serious diseases are way more expensive than assisted s*@&/|#. Everyone is going to get a serious illness in their lifetime and age is the main factor
7. We know freedom of speech is being narrowed down
8. [insert your own]
