The only way to solve inequality created by concentration of AI superpowers will be extreme violence, and I'm tired of pretending that's not the case.

You say that like inequality is a problem. If so, there's a really easy way to solve it: nuke the planet back to the stone age.

Personally, I'd rather have inequality if it means everyone can live a peaceful life. Let the rich have their yachts or whatever.

I don't see why the increased productivity provided by AI won't make things better, given that all of the ills of the world are caused by scarcity: that is, insufficient productivity.

Thank God a large majority of people with ironclad convictions don't think like you.

I don't think so, in fact it might be counterproductive. I think it could and should be done within existing structures. But it will require mass mobilisation and counters to mass propaganda.
