The elite class in your country views AI as a risk to their status as elites, not an actual existential threat to humanity. They are just lying to you, as usual. That is what our current crop of globalist, free-trade, open-borders elites do.

Imagine if you had an AI companion that instantly identified pilpul in every piece of media you consumed: voice, text, whatever. It highlighted it for you. What if you had an AI companion that identified instantly when you are being lied to or emotionally manipulated?

What if this AI companion could also recommend economic and social policies that would actually improve the lives of people within your nation and not simply enrich a criminal cabal of globalist elites that treat you like cattle?

I was listening to a twitter space with a bunch of feds and they brought up an interesting topic. foreign nations are running _very real_ psychological operations on groups and individuals in the USA using modern internet communication and media technologies. Real evil stuff. People have died. People killed themselves, or are now homeless.

not everyone you talk to on the internet is "just like me!" Some of them are weird foreign nationals and they want to extract useful info from you then wreck your life.

Democracy is mob rule. Democracy is one of the worst political systems ever conceived of. The men that built the USA knew this and did all they could to protect against it. Unfortunately it did not last and here we are: people with no vested interest in the system making decisions.

This is how it has always been. This is reality. This is basic human nature. Shaking your fist at the sky and being mad at natural human interactions is silly. Please stop.

The most important thing you can do for your career, for a successful and fulfilled life is to get good at interpersonal relationships. Don't be a weird, anti-social shut-in. Your family, your community, your society are the most important things in life. This is good. This is healthy.
