Comment on if it turned out there was a sentient AI capable of running the world would you accept it or rebell against it?

  Isn’t the quickest way of resolving resource allocation to reduce the need for the resources?

  I think resource allocation fails primarily due to either authoritarian political systems with their psychological bias or democratic systems where neither voters nor politicians make an sustained effort to be scientifically calibrated and instead aim for popularity and people pleasing. IMO this is why democracies fail to achieve the best outcomes. As a consequence, resources as not well allocated.

    I feel like you just used a lot of words to say resource allocation is a problem. And the other commenter said an algorithm would be better at it.

      Even if we use an algorithm to make the decision, the execution needs trust and cooperation from society and industry etc. This is a real big thing and democratic voting partially legitimises the chosen actions so that people are willing to cooperate. This isn’t trivial when a computer does this.

      I really don’t think, that resource allocation is the root cause problem here.

        An AI running the world is not a democracy. I don't see how that would play a part in this at all. A majority of the world likely does not concur with the resource allocation as it is but are powerless to do anything.

        I don't think this post implies the AI isn't capable of enforcing its reign.
