Imagine how much the world could achieve if we actually collaborated, instead the Empire will be using this technology to try to figure out how to to destroy human lives better.
Outside of some few research centers that develop patented treatments, inaccessible to most of the population. The Empire has so much resources, but it's completely unsynchronized and there's nothing that we can do. At best I'm gonna be running a tiny org with a clique of friends, who probably won't let me onboard 2/3's of the people I'd like to work with, due to personal grievances.
Here AI is used to generate poetry and to replace teachers at schools and we're gonna be engaged in fierce ideological warfare over what is to be done with AI, but we definitely won't organize or develop productive forces.
