RE: AI Changing Politics

I think that this political analysis is very wrong. Just because AI is out there, doesn't mean that it will drive the way we do campaigns. You can easily compare printing million of flyers vs doing a website and you have the same thesis. Any 12yr old could code a website on the 2000s for a few bucks instead of having to own a printshop and street teams to put it on every corner. But you know that switch didn't really happened. They just did both, and not for pennies.

Same thing with AI, sure they can do it for pennies, but why would they? Money is not just the barrier but is also the reason to do this things. People want to be politicians to access to the money bags of the contributors, and suppliers want to supply to the government because they can upsale them because is not their money.

Also further criticism on the idea that AI will bring an era of abundance sounds very familiar, and is the whole thesis about going from communism to socialism. After the abolition of the private property and when everyone rips benefits of this communist economy, on a socialistic world, people were just going to listen to music and go to the park while all their needs are provided from a central state. Which of course, never happened. Thinking that the problem was the human element and a machine will do a better job is barking at the wrong tree. People don't like to be managed and they usually want to do what they want. Including stealing your girlfriend, stealing your job, frontrunning on that last ticket for the concert etc.
