revolution, that is only option. yes, it may look overly optimistic and rosy tinted but what is the other option? be overly pessimistic, concluding that the rich won and we lost and just wait for the inevitable end?

most countries around the world still have democracy, so voting the the solution. what I don't know is how to fight populism... because that is the achilles heel of democracy... for now, spreading the knowledge is probably all we can do, people have to (and will in time) learn who can be trusted and who cannot.

but honestly I don't buy into sci-fi "AI will kill us all or enslave us" premise. that is only our anthropomorphisation of the artificial intelligence. what I see as more probably that AI could rule us in stead of the human politics that rule us now. why not have LLM political parties that could be voted? each one with open weights and transparent prompts? without emotion, corruption and greed? wouldn't that be better than current situation?
