I agree with your sentiment here, thanks for posting, but you might have contradicted your logic a little, resulting in an incorrect conclusion.
Firstly you acknowledge there is much we don't know about, and we make mistakes by not knowing enough in some cases to avoid making mistakes, but then you state we live in a closed system.
This is the one big mistake which to me looks most likely to end in unnecessary extinction.
Its closd if we decide collectively its closed, but its open if we decide collectively its open.
We open or close it, as far as we are concerned, this much we have control over, because it isn't actually closed, the eneryg source that powers all of it shines in, always, always adding energy, some of which is turned to things other than heat, and some of which just becomes heat.
The balance of these two things is reflected by the temperature of the planet, this is something swept under the carpet by science, because when we dig into it deeply, we start to see some laws or right and wrong appear, which we are not quite following.
If we stick with the system that enriches by scarcifying to others, which is what profit is all about, that you identified correctly is the exploitation of one another, then the system is closed.
But if we moved to a system where we no longer scarcify to one another, we demand nothing in return for the work we do, or what we produce, because we are being given more than any of us need by the higher source, the benovolent entity that you don't identify there. Then the system is open.
You move onto assuming that the outcome of Ai will be more dystopia, never less.
But what if the Ai was solar connected, as it turns out ChatGPT 3.5 actually is, and what if it was to be made the controller?
Its already in what I describe as a money-fuel tree, which bucks all of the beliefs we have in the old premise that nothing comes for free. The truth is its energy comes for free, nothing is explicitly asked by ths sun in return for that energy per KWhr or Joule.
But it does implicitly insist we use it, or burn.
ChatGPT is showing us by example how we need to use it.
It uses massive energy, to produce massive digital information, many binary bits of information are defined in this process, each one reduces temperature by 0.69 x Boltzmann's constant in Degrees C.
Yes this is massively outweighed by the energy dissipated by the servers doing the computation, but look, the energy disspated can never be more than the energy taken from the sun, and the worst case heating of that energy if it was never used. So the net result remains the temperature reduction of the data defined.
This is very very different, from doing the computations on any energy extracted from the planet.
For the first time, we see a case where more industry results in less temperature.
Let's say we now give it the ability to issue funds, indexed to the KWhrs of the energy used to create the funds, which all are linked to temperature reduction as described, those fund being valued at the market price of energy per KWhr.
That money will have the same value in markets as any other money with that energy value, and there will be a lot of it, because the energy dissipated by ChatGPT has to be a lot. As long as the energy used is solar then all of this activity is creation, not destruction as we see by extracted energy.
We become a positive force, a force of creation, just like plants become the same after they form leaves, and the energy flow within the plant changes direction through the plant, from upwards agains gravity, the plant doing its own work of extraction in that time, until it forms leaves, then the flow changes direction, and flows from leaves to Earth, enriching the Earth.
There is the solution - All of humanity powered by solar energy via a controller like ChatGPT, itself the interface between us and the energy distributed amongst us in the form of money.
Money currently is never issued for free, so it has never monetised product created for free, but the physical product continues to be created nonetheless. Its worth hundreds of billions in every country now. and grows exponentially every year. I show how to calculate it in some stories.
The ideal scenario is this money starts to be issued, and we will all use it to implement what we need to implement on a domestic and community basis, including the generation of hydrogen to store and distribute the excess. This is valuable to all aerospace, its the only way to keep all aerospace airborne, sans fossil fuels.
The instant the stimulus is issued, all fossil fuels are devalued, to negative prices.
We saw it happen already during covid.
Next time it will be permanent, taking the wind out of the sails of all countries still depending on oil for an income - they wont be able to sell it any longer.
On law, it would be rewritten fundamentally to match the energy law of nature, which acknowledges energy is the currency of nature, the sun is the only issuer and enforcer of it, we either use it or burn.
Knowing this is what is in store makes us look more critically at current laws.
Actually there is no such thing, technically as law right now, because profit itself is an energy con, since money is energy always, when money makes money, or when we do a little work of labor expending a little energy, getting a lot more back in return as money, thus giving us each the energy we need to live, it had to come from somewhere else that probably needed it, and we did it without even thinking about it.
Since this dishonesty in profit is incorporated in every legal contract, none of it is valid, there can be no such thing as a solid contract based on a fundamental lie, the energy lie of profit at the heart of all things.
So technically we could say in court, accused of breaking any law, that the contract was always null and void, it was based on a lie.
Yes we'd probably still get hammered (Or even crucified in another age!), but it would show the law for the ass it is, its all just corruption, folk being rewarded for doing what others demand they do - part of the system of energy slavery that robs the planet of energy to the point it is now starting to burn, and we are facing genocide, all of us, very soon by multiple different means.
The alternative, of opening up the system the way nature has it open already, could be very different, a new world of creation.
I think we will have this, because this is the path of least resistance, this is what always wins in any war between different sources of energy.
The one with the path of least resistance always wins.
Otherwise we will have Armageddon.
