Profound observations. They made me realize that if mathematics or natural languages (like English, as opposed to computer languages) were invented today, government regulators would regulate undoubtedly demand to control them to prevent them from being used for "unsafe" purposes. And such regulation would be a kind of universal control.

And yes, we are absolutely sleepwalking into Soviet-style "command" economy. And it may be inevitable. When an economic depression starts to happen (which is inevitable due to the national debt), Americans will almost certainly choose government control of the economy over the painful austerity of letting the real economy correct itself.

I'm reading Zuboff's The Age Of Surveillance Capitalism and what she has to say really makes me paranoid about who has rights to my privacy and than what they do with it. I would assume lots of our privacy data go into AI algorithms. And when you in this article state AI is impossable to regulate it makes me even more paranoid. How do you come down on rights to privacy and who can snoop in and steal it without my knowedge or control??? You don't have to answer that cause I supect I know your answer. I think its privacy theft and what these mega rich companies do with it darn right sociopathic. They steal our privacy than play mind control with it. Google's Do No Harm: complete bull shit.

LOL
