We say peace, but fund war economies.
We say freedom, but build surveillance infrastructure.
We say democracy, but manufacture perception.
We say human dignity, but treat populations as economic inputs.
We say truth, but reward whichever story wins attention.
We invented a work-centric civilisation.
The machine age is not about to abolish that arrangement by moral argument. It is about to abolish it by rendering its central premise — the indispensability of human labor — economically false.

Work for food. Work for shelter. Work for healthcare. Work for respect. Work for the right to be taken seriously. Work long enough, well enough, and hard enough, and the world may call you worthy.
We can choose differently.
We can choose work as one way to contribute, not the price of admission.
We can choose shared power instead of private control.
We can choose security that does not depend on one more missed paycheck.
We can choose a life that is more whole, more steady, and more honest.
AI execs need to stop hedging and be brutally honest about where development actually stands and what timeline + impacts we're facing. Vague reassurances let people fill in the gaps with their own gruesome dystopian nightmares. Fear of the unknown is already driving Molotovs and gunfire. Clarity isn't optional—it's damage control.
Labor is the eternal currency with which we have always settled our subscription to existence. Artificial intelligence now stands poised to dissolve that debt entirely. Pause and truly contemplate the magnitude of what lies ahead: a life lived without the burden of toil—existence, bestowed as a gift, utterly and gloriously free.
the murder of children's curiosity and their dreams is one of the worst crimes in history
how societies and education works today will hopefully die with the AI revolution
@rohanpaul_ai Money is only a proxy for power. One that will be irrelevant when AI forces the cost of labor towards zero. Sam is betting on this in secret.
