Billionaire solipsism, dictator solipsism, AI, and the fascist paradigm

6 hours ago

Power leads to solipsism, where powerful individuals see others as objects to control, diminishing their humanity.
Corporate bosses and politicians use AI to eliminate messy human needs, preferring automation over human judgment.
AI appeals to ruling classes because it promises to fulfill solipsistic fantasies of total control without worker resistance.
In social media, solipsism drives platforms to replace genuine connections with engagement-maximizing content from influencers.
Fascist paradigms promote the idea that only a few geniuses should rule, using AI to enforce their will without bureaucratic interference.
Replacing bureaucracies with AI ignores qualitative aspects of governance and risks policy failures due to lack of human adaptability.
AI in government cannot optimize trade-offs for everyone, as different groups have conflicting priorities and needs.
Dictatorships using AI face manipulated data from citizens pretending loyalty, undermining the technology's effectiveness.
Process knowledge, which cannot be commodified, remains a barrier to AI replacing skilled human workers entirely.
The quantitative fallacy in AI assumes all social processes can be mathematized, ignoring lossy conversion of qualitative realities.
