Economy of scale and power imbalance increases with more advanced technology, not the other way. A true AGI would allow a single person to replace all other humans. Robot soldiers are bulletproof, cheap to build, and never refuse orders to kill.
- vasco 2y agoI disagree with the notion that power imbalance increases with technology. As time progressed and our technology evolved, the balance of power between a regular human and the human with the most power in the world have gotten closer, not further apart, in my opinion.

And who yields that power and can use it with little consequences will do it. Why should elites allow the global population to grow indefinetely if it threatens their survival? Predictably the elites will use their advantage to compete against the masses for resources to ensure their continued survival.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoI can't possibly understand how anyone could think this. Try living somewhere drone strikes can kill any number of people at any time with no warning and no possible retribution. You don't even know what the person who liked you looks like. For most of human history to kill a man you had to look him in the eye.
