What if the problems we have in society (disparity, corruption, greed, short sightedness, etc) are intrinsic to human nature and can't be changed?

Maybe this is a hardware problem and not a software problem. Humans may just be built in such a way that we cannot help but to destroy ourselves when we get too numerous. I mean isn't that how it works for any other species?

Coming to us soon: AI politicians, driven by open source code verified by blockchain

@plungesponge honestly that may be for the best lol. Humans may simply be unfit to lead other humans. Perhaps it's time we built a better kind of leader: one that is incorruptible, can see several moves ahead at all times, impartial, and far far smarter than us.

@SW-User in time, we will likely merge with tech, or it replaces us. Really the only story is whether that switch is willingly or violently. Probably a bit of both

@plungesponge if the AI will be as smart as people are afraid it will be, I'm sure it will come to the conclusion that the best way to destroy humans is to have them do it themselves.

All it would have to do is accept those who come willingly then quarantine the rest and leave them to their own devices.

They'd run themselves into the ground in a century tops.
