The user posits a chain reaction beginning with AI-driven job displacement, leading to company failures and market instability. The post further suggests that AI’s capacity to automate tasks and potentially expose corruption could ultimately destabilize governments. Alternative societal models, such as a return to bartering, are also considered.
