I guess it's possible - ie in a Matrix-esque type way but I'd imagine the higher echelons created AI.
it almost seems like these higher echelons are almost a different species. I have no doubt that there are people who feel like they're in that position, but I think that fortune and technology makes those folks a lot more fluid (wrt to their power) than your thesis might suggest.

What do you think my thesis is?

I've just noted, over time discussing this with you, that whenever a new phenomenon is introduced, in this case AI (in the past social media, other technologies), that you contend that these people are in control of it. It seems to me, that (let's assume you're right and they exist) they are human so it's possible for things to occur outside of their control. AI, for example, might be a threat to their control? No?

she would have agreed for sure, and then I would have pointed out that perhaps people weren't concerned about how qualified he was, they were more concerned about how unsuitable they felt Kamala was. And that's the huge problem the Dems need to ask themselves. What is it voters see in them that's so bad they would rather put Trump back in power. To this day, it blows my mind Democrats aren't asking themselves that question! We can never improve if we don't hold ourselves accountable and try to be better.

I'd contend it's the way of the world mate - the big and powerful wish to remain big and powerful and will use any means necessary to stay there and guide the rolling out of new technologies. As for specific technology - AI isn't really a new phenomenon in itself - it was on our Uni Syllabus many years ago ( not that I appreciated what I was studying at the time or it's future application or roll out). The Internet itself is based on the same principles as ARPANET which was around in a military sense in the 1960s... DARPA's Lifelog project ended the same day Facebook launched. These aren't conspiracies mate - they are just hard cold facts.

As for "they" - I do think it's fluid to a certain extent but it's also generational. All the governing bodies seem to be converging into the UN's Agenda 2030 plan - all governments, all major companies, most religions. Now this isn't a conspiracy either - they have a website giving full details as do the WEF. All this DEI woke stuff has nothing to do with random grassroots movements - it's also on the WEF site (or was). Stakeholder capitalism is the proposed end game which is a group of 0.001% fascists forcing everybody else in a communist dystopia.

The fun will really begin when a lot of the people and groups pushing this crap realise they haven't got a place laid at the top table and also end up in the prison they helped create. (and I'm of the mind that this whole enterprise may succeed initially, but collapse very rapidly). I'm also of the mind that much of this stuff comes across as batshit crazy... but c'est la vie. Noah was a fruitcake until it started raining.

Also, I think there are natural technologies that exceed AI by far.

I’m not sure what you mean by this final paragraph?
Understanding of frequency, vibration, consciousness and how to tap in or manipulate it. One example would be Remote Viewing. There is plenty of declassified stuff on the CIA website as well as many independent sources. In short, part of understanding the programming language of this reality. The easiest entry point into this arena is understanding some basics of Cymatics. Probably not for a US politics thread...

I discussed this briefly with our dear mutual departed friend a couple of years and curated some intro videos:


My feedback was "it's a load of shit" :face-with-tears-of-joy: (ironically sent over Wifi at a specific frequency)
