I keep feeling this dread that A.I + surveillance + drone warfare is going to unleash unspeakable horrors on the world sometime in the next twenty years.
And just like WW2 it will be precipitated by economic collapse.

Germany’s economic collapse was brought on by outrageously unfair surrender terms and conditions laid out in the Treaty of Versailles that Hitler and the Nazi Party could sink their teeth into as a tangible scapegoat for their nation’s woes
It’s harder to point the finger at who will light the powder keg next time, if indeed there is a next time
Right now, we have AI + surveillance and AI + drone warfare, so I'm afraid you're being generous with your prediction. I'm thinking of 5 years if we're lucky. But one of the reasons I follow you it's because I need your optimism. 🤷
Read the Bible, move away from cities, get sovereign, make lots of babies, touch some grass (in no particular order). It’s time to start thinking about the next generation.
There's already the technology to create swarms of suicide drones inflicting enormous casualties in densely populated areas. Just no one has used it yet.
I'm really scared of all of that but I tell myself that in 1989, nobody could've imagined a worse type of tyranny given the technological means of the time than was in place in the Soviet Union and its client states - and then it all just went away.
Unfortunately, I do believe that things have to become as bad as they possibly can before large amounts of people refuse to put up with it any longer.
Yes AI surveillance is pretty bad
Im not at all technical, so maybe this isn't possible, but someone on here should write a protocol or something that makes the cloud infrastructure for Ai decentralized. Maybe kind of like running a node for btc, but your node provides the storage and gpu power for whatever people want to use Ai for. Keep it decentralized. Then if people operating these nodes don't like what Ai is doing then can shut down their node. Probably could do something like this to replace youtube. Seems simple for all the developers on nostr.
Yep, inevitable
"damn"
