We seem to have no mechanisms to "rethink." Market dynamics + personal ambitions are driving change. At the same time, we have no means of popular revolution.

We seem to have no mechanisms to "rethink."
Market dynamics + personal ambitions are driving change.
At the same time, we have no means of popular revolution. Drones are automating war, and LLMs can monitor literally all conversations. Bottom-up revolution is futile. To the contrary, it's likely whomever produces the best drones could pull of a corporate revolution.
Market dynamics here centralize power and lead to a natural monopoly. That's perhaps better than competition, since competition pushes for moving fast, which means safety goes by the wayside.
Carpenters and plumbers will be obsoleted by robots too. Robot AI is maybe 5-10 years behind LLMs.
OpenAI was supposed to be the driving force behind fixing this, but it sold out, and is now building Skynet instead of preventing it.
