I don't understand why people don't have the fantasy imagine all the possibilities in which AI can help us progress from the absolutely dismal state of the world we live in currently. Yes there are risks but I just want technology to progress desperately even if I myself live somewhat comfortably for now.

My concern is that the people that already own everything today will capture all of the new value created by AI + automation and the rift of inequality will only deepen.

Guillotines aren't as effective when they have AI-controlled assault drones.

Any war against the rich will be a guerilla war. The National Guard has shinier toys than you.

I can't imagine AI controlled assault drones would help rich people at all. If that was a fear, wouldn't the same fear be around since the invention of tanks or any military advancement?

Some private citizen starts using attack drones, I don't think it will work out well in most countries. Even if the government didn't intervene, which it would immediately
