Davos report: "But in private settings... these executives tell a different story: They are racing to automate their own work forces to stay ahead of the competition, with little regard for the impact on workers."

"On one hand... profit-minded executives “absolutely want to automate as much as they can.”

“On the other hand,” he added, “they’re facing a backlash in civic society.”

Looks like they found a solution!
Inspiring. Are these the same people whose jobs you want to automate away?
The World Economic Forum makes an impressive prediction in March 2019

In May, DHS leader Mayorkas claimed the border situation "was very challenging... very difficult" & touted immigration reform.

However, Texas was able to prevent immigrant crossings with just $11 million of razor wire, until the DHS began to cut down.

What's the challenge?

Corporations have built incredibly powerful AI tools but they won’t release them to the public because they’re afraid people will use them in racist ways
ChatGPT became a sensation by releasing its language model to the public, but they’re backtracking due to elite pearl clutching about how the peasants will use this technology.
A similar process happened with Google search and YouTube, which had better algorithms a decade ago. They were intentionally ruined because they led to “populism”

Using Consumer Price Index to track inflation is PsyOp.

The government prints trillions of dollars and hands it to oligarchs.

This may not raise consumer prices, but it devastates society.
Consumer Price Index is the “cattle feed index”.

You can eat junk food and buy toys.

Meanwhile, the prices of homes, education, and kids skyrocket.
Imagine if we printed trillions of dollars and gave it to one guy.

Consumer prices would remain roughly the same, but this one guy could buy up society & own everything.

This is the basic principle the US economy runs on.

The most interesting stories of all time are the stories of explorers — Marco Polo, Vasco da Gama, Pizarro, Cortes, Captain Cook — it doesn’t get any better than this.
Also Magellan. If you haven’t read a book on each one of these men, you’re missing out.
When Marco Polo visits the Orient, he’s treated well but has to submit to the Khan’s dominion. Returns to crusader cities like Acre.

By the time Vasco da Gama travels, he’s isolated & met with constant hostility. Has to brutally subjugate leaders with ship cannons & raids.
