Imagine a government controlled AI that partners with mega corporations to "assist" AI in getting you the "correct" results you desire. Call me a pessimist but we may already be staring down the gun of a dystopian future

  >Ye, u got a brain no? Go learn some hıstory. artificial intelligence as a concept is at least as old as 300-400BC. Government corruption as a meme goes much further back. I wouldn't be so quick to consider someone 'without brain' for having inadequate movie trivia knowledge; nor would I consider encyclopedic knowledge of movie trivia to be evidence of knowing history. I don't know where the 'bureaucratic to a fault' concept of Brazil was first used, but similarly metaphors and complaints can be found in lots of Roman historical anecdote, many times older. These concepts have all been explored in fiction to a huge degree, the novelty of what's going on right now is that it's been the first time where any of it has actually approached reality. The concept of a government 'on autopilot' is now actually being realistically considered, rather than humorously/dramatically fantasized. It's now becoming apparent to the public at large that such concepts are stepping out of fiction; that's huge. tldr; don't fault other people for not knowing about the recent revision of ancient ideas and concepts that YOU prefer to discuss.

    I do fault people for not knowing shit that was screaming in their faces for at least a hundred years and an half. I do fault them for ignoring it since it's about they did understand that this is what was going on. Do not attempt to whitewash persons as some anonymous 'members of public'. A decision to not think is a decision none the less.

It was literally Dune. Men handed their thinking over to machines. That let other men with machines control them. It wasn't even subtle!
