Succinct and extremely well written. I just recently came across your Stack. Glad I found it.

Ok .. I've had a few important decisions made for me by Professional people , which were then overturned by AI decisions .. AI was much nicer to me. Now you got me thinking. I suspect you are correct. I used to think humans got sick from having to judge/condemn'kill each other. I thought AI would be brought in to make painful decisions and do nasty deeds. Now I changed my mind . I think you are right, the priesthood will make decisions on a whim ... and they will attribute the decisions to an inert black box nobody can actually look inside of .

In my own life I suspect those professionals who deferred to AI decisions were actually just changing their mind and claiming AI caused them to do it.

I say this with a reasonable understanding of how some of our big AI projects are functioning ..

Even if they do employ actual AI it will probably be programmed by the fickle whims of the priesthood ..

Trouble is, what's our alternative ? we do have big real world problems that are way beyond our computational ability to solve. Is chaos better ??

Great detective work, esc! What a job of 'hiding' their true nature and purpose they've done. Little meetings of their hidden 'inner circles' decide our fates from behind closed doors. Just like they hide their earnings in shell corporations and offshore bank accounts. They remain 'above the fray'. How nice for them - but not for the rest of us. It must be halted for the sake of the true morality of the individual soul These folks need to be exposed and prosecuted for this enormous, elaborate fraud. Once they have all been shut down - we can proceed to live free and noble lives in service to our best selves and Creation's true intentions behind calling us forth. Sounds good to me!

Great article! However it got me confused at times and I had to reread some parts like: "The NGO's deliberate and eventually comes to define as 'the common good' "

probably a typo.

Ai suggested "The NGO deliberates and eventually comes to define 'the common good.'"
