"This article is a first essay out of my larger research focus on building participatory democracy in the digital age: how to counteract the global authoritarian movement. Given recent AI news and a sense of urgency, I wanted to share one idea that maybe is worth a discussion today."
I agree with your sense of urgency. As a software engineer I am thinking a lot about the technological side of this.
Fascinating. Your point about the 'Nvidia-state' being a precariously placed load-bearing piece of the global economy is realy sharp. How do you see that specific vulnerability playing into the larger authoritarian challenges you're researching?
Great analysis. I would add that there is an ideological component to this which is driving the urgency. It’s the California Ideology revisited via Theil, Musk, Andreesen, et al. Knowing how to combat these techbroligarchs means having to understand their particular madness (in order to discern the weaknesses).
