    So there will be trillions spent on land and energy wasting data centers to get a dressed up ELIZA that will not solve a single world problem (like hunger, homelessness, poverty, ecological collapse). Simply great! Why not end capitalism right now? It is the only reasonable path at this point.

      Someone asked me a couple of weeks ago why the New Zealand Green Party’s answer to all of our problems seemed to be taxes on rich people and big corporations. I said that it was because 40 years of neoliberalism had given us an economy that balanced a rise for the 1% with a fall for the 99%, and we should start trying to address that gently and legally before the 99% remember that a guillotine is 18th Century technology and can be easily constructed in a garage.

      The end of capitalism isn’t too far off, the way things are going. And it’s going to be messy as hell.
