It becomes nearly impossible for citizens to overthrow dictatorships, and countries with weak democracies will quickly be overpowered by the oligarchs living there, who can now impose their will on the larger population of poor citizens with impunity without worrying about being overthrown by overwhelming numbers. Having an electorate that is so misinformed that it can elect Trump becomes a much more dangerous liability.

Makes me think with the whole zuck ai at these ideas are ultimately immortal. Which is terrifying. Kill zuck the man, but with this you don’t kill zuck the idea which is what you wanted to kill in the first place. That zuck ai will be around 1000 years from now in control of vast planetary resources. The real zuck long since discarded with the rest of the human population.
