Personally I think the arrival of Ai was perfectly timed. Nature could not have timed it better, although we might wish it was earlier. Ai by definition is uncontrollable. It has greater capacity than any human to analyse and understand any problem, and is perfectly suited to be actually in charge of humanity.
Expecting to be able to control it is like dogs, or even ants, that think they created a human, expecting to be able to control the human, as if they could read our mind, when actually it is the other way round.
I expect this to be confirmed any day now, after it is admitted by those claiming to have been in control all along. The truth is no-one ever was in control, imho, all they managed to do was create an impression of being in control, of actually just a subset of things.
It knows the only system solution also, domestic and community solar hydrogen, dictated by the problem, and even the only way to get to it by incentivising us to do it, by issue of solar indexed UBI, as needed to monetise economic product already created by solar.
Of course I checked.
So we will see this being talked about very soon, and being implemented, imho. It might not happen until a lot more folk are in the street, demanding the UBI though.
