Oligarchs gunna Oligarch.
But the consolidation and the .001% have really gottten in bed together in a way that they never could before. With all their assets intrisincly entangled in the global economy, AI is here to bring the next level of wealth extraction for them, greater authoritarianism and a globalisation like we havent seen.
The wars we are fighting are for who is going to be in charge of the dominant AI entanglements in finance, industry, pharma/health, media, tech, defense, security.
I am optimistic that it will be another tier in the tech evolution I've seen in my life - but a Rising tide of control of how a populous uses/benefits/consumes/produces in a complete AI entangled world, raises all authoritarian systems.
Its bleak for anyone who cant integrate into the Entanglement.

- samstave 3y agoI was implying that the .001% are the Oligarchs. The 1% are their entourage/minions/buffer-class. https://i.imgur.com/aMENxsB.png https://i.imgur.com/aMENxsB.png <<--- Wow, I was spot-the-f-on. However, the list of >100B people obviously doesnt include a lot of people that are in the shadows. Medici is still around, Rothschilds, Germanic-royal-bloodlines in the hapsberg gotha and other lines, etc. And obviously its talking about known "market" worth - but look at how much land and real-estate is owned by people such as Rothschilds, and ilk. - Billionaires with over $100 billion net worth (as of January 13, 2024): https://i.imgur.com/qRZcFb5.png https://i.imgur.com/qRZcFb5.png Top 20 of the next tier: https://i.imgur.com/UFHUAke.png https://i.imgur.com/UFHUAke.png 99% are the chattel.
