I was trying to wax philosophical about what form of government is next. But, you're right. There's something that comes first.
The Great Experiment is over. We had a good run. Time to start thinking about what comes next.
But, but, how will we monetize it? How!?

I long for the early 2k internet. So much potential positivity for humanity.
Projection. Remember they're not that creative. It is all projection.
That is glorious. I've never wanted to read an entire book more.
People not getting things that seem obvious is an ongoing theme, it seems. We sat through a presentation at work by some guy who enthusiastically pitched AI to the masses. I don't mean that's what he did, I mean "enthusiasm" seemed to be his ONLY qualification. Aside from telling folks what buttons to press on the company's AI app, he didn't know SHIT. And the VP got on before and after and it was apparent that he didn't know shit, either. Someone is whispering in these people's ears and they're writing fat checks, no doubt, and they haven't a clue what an LLM is, what it is good at, nor what to be wary of. Absolutely ridiculous.
Never relax... The universe can sense when you're content and will balance itself.
What's that sound? Is it supposed to make it? Did it make it before? Is that wet? Why is it wet? That bug is new, haven't seen one like that. Electric bill is higher this month. Got the escrow statement; it went up again. That crack... Seems longer. Door squeaks again. Was the drain recessed like that? Are you sure? That's loose, should probably do something about it. Gotta run to the hardware store. They're backordered on that thing that melted in the fire. The AC is dripping again. Is the water pressure lower than usual? What's that smell? Is it coming from under there? Why is the milk spoiled? Is the fridge warm to you? Grass is long again. Sprinkler got run over by a neighbor. We need to do something about the dead tree.
Literally things said at my house IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS. Holy shit why.

Dear future historians: You wil look back in horror but know that we feel helpless. The only parallel we have ended in a world war that had to be ended by a newly arisen superpower. And that scares the shit out of us.
