#robotocracy
Yes, government needs to be made more efficient - but in an egalitarian way.

The idea of improvement via an AI human-free oligarch-controlled system is farcical. I can't believe anyone whose done self-check out buys it.

You think bureaucracy is bad? Just wait for robotocracy.

Pushing back on the premise here:

There has been a 40 YEAR push for “government efficiency” now. It gutted the social safety net, left agencies understaffed & overworked & left it incredibly fragile. That fragility is HELPING make this coup possible.

Gov’t is too lean, it needs MORE redundancy.

Everyone in video: oh. a robot

everyone in comments: THE TIME FOR REVOLUTION IS NOW. THOSE CONSPIRING WITH THE ROBOTOCRACY WILL BE PURGED IN THE FLAMES OF HELL. OUR JUSTICE WILL BE SWIFT AND WITHOUT MERCY. ONLY THE SOUNDS OF CRYING CHILDREN WILL REMAIN AS YOU LAMENT YOUR FOLLY!
Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:

Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

On the other hand, the Wild Card ending is vague enough that it can really be anything you want. Eternal Courier military dictatorship? Yes Man robotocracy? Makhnovist communes? Rival liberal democratic republic? That's the issue with that ending, it can be headcanoned into anything.

526. Really not the book you'd expect if you just knew it from reputation, and honestly maybe my least favorite Asimov work. Some of the ideas are fun, but the actual plot is just about how we need to be ruled by a robotocracy for our own good, and worse, it's kind of boring. Not his best work.

well, you had one job Tesla shareholders, it was don't give in to the nazi supervillain and you tripped on your own feet. I was tempted to give you some leeway because maybe you were fearful of your safety if you got rid of Nole Skum but no, you're apparently onboard with robotocracy. Cool.

Between the admin state letting AI draft regs (as USDoT is doing) and AI commenting on those regs we can eventually look forward to a robotocracy, or maybe just simply "cracy," a democracy without people
SoCal air quality officials rejected a proposal to phase out gas-powered appliances after being overwhelmed by more than 20,000 public comments in opposition. Well, turns out many of those comments were powered by AI!

ATHENS, Greece -- The spiritual leader of the world’s Orthodox Christians has said that religious faith should serve as humanity’s safeguard amid rapidly advancing technology and what he described as the “impending robotocracy.” Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, 85, said that Orthodox tradition preserves “valuable human-centric wisdom” essential for navigating a world of accelerating technological change and automation. His comments during an event at Athens University reflect growing concerns across major branches of Christianity — and ongoing dialogue between them — about artificial intelligence’s potential impact on human dignity and social structures, as well as the dangers posed by…

There should be no generative AI in government. People fought and died to wrest the work of government away from the kings clergy, and nobility---we shouldn't just cede it to new unaccountable, irresponsible authorities in the form of a robotocracy. Automate as little of government as possible.

📢 [AI摘要] 普世牧首巴尔多禄茂在雅典表示,面对快速发展的技术和“即将到来的机器人统治”,宗教信仰应作为人类的保障。他强调,东正教传统保留了以人为中心的智慧,在技术巨变的世界中,“没有什么比人类更神圣”。牧首认为人应优先于系统,并呼吁重视培养人类精神的教育。他支持技术进步,但强调创新必须以人为中心。此观点与其他基督教派领导人对人工智能伦理和人类尊严的担忧一致。
