I should stop reading Social Media posts, as this one has got me in a flat spin.

"The world is being run by AI set to maximise profits."

This was my train of thoughts.

  • The rich and powerful will have had AI way longer than the rest of us

  • There is a chance these people would use it to there advantage (just a small chance!)

  • Their motivation is more money and power

  • AI already runs / influences way too many investment funds

  • AI already influences societal mood through social media

  • How does this effect me?

  • Even if I live a frugal life I am still taxed

  • What is the return on my tax investment?

  • What do we have now, through billions of taxes, that we did not have 20 years ago?

  • Can I stop being taxed...no!

  • Is the government a money laundering platform?

  • Why is Ukraine getting so much money?

  • I don't want share holders of big military businesses getting my tax money
