AI or AGI is not built to make our lives better or easier.
AI or AGI is going to be the tool that allows tech and AI billionaires to rule the world. This is no conspiracy theory. Tech billionaires (such as Peter Thiel, Marc Andreesen etc.) want to destroy current world government systems, and build their own countries where they will be kings. These countries are called "Network States". You can checkout "The Nerd Reich" to learn more: https://www.thenerdreich.com
Peter Thiel said that we need to replace politics with technology, so that you no longer need to argue with people or try to convince them etc. With technology, you can execute whatever you want without doing any politics.
These fascist authoritarian tech billionaires want to use AI to rule. They're not building it for you and me, they're building it for themselves.
After all the money in the world, power is next... They are addicted to their own avarice and are trying to make the rest of us pay. Disgusting and sad, but unfortunately not surprising.
Sam Altman is also one of them. He has strong relations with Peter Thiel.
From his Wikipedia page:
"He (Sam Altman) also invested in charter city projects Próspera and Praxis,[78] which have gotten additional financial support from author and former Coinbase CTO, Balaji Srinivasan.[79] Both cities have been linked by various publications and journalists to the Network State movement."
When you look at the big picture, there is really no other good explanation why they're pushing AI even though it's harming the world in so many ways.
I don't think they're after money or profit with AI. They're after power and control. They want to replace humans with AI so they can build and live in their network states without worrying about any human resistance.
There is a good book video that talks about the "predecessor" of network states called "Libertarian Exits":
I think understanding network states and understanding the goals of people like Peter Thiel and Sam Altman will help us understand the real future of AI that these oligarchs really want. They definitely don't give a crap about humanity. They only care about themselves. They want to become immortal human gods (they're literally trying to find ways to defeat death, this is no joke, they said that :D)
The TV series Altered Carbon is a pretty good allegory of that. Can't take all that money with you when dying? Oh no problem, just keep swapping into new bodies and keep the money forever.
