[SCREENCAST] Technocracy: Okay but can they do it? (No not really.)

An informal screencast talking exploring technocracy from the perspective of a systems engineer with over a decade of experience implementing, automating, and integrating systems.

Hi,

Thanks for giving this a look. I apologize for the shotgun nature of this post. I’m not exactly a brand and I’m about 28/29 hours in to not sleeping so I did my best with the time I had! Please feel free to post any follow ups you might have.

In this post I conduct an informal screen cast we briefly walk through the iterations of technology from the 80s to today to understand just how mature technology today really is, and I very very roughly outline how if at all these things can be done.

in short there actually are data centers staged for regional control, but the technology to implement the agenda simply doesn’t scale or interoperate to accomplish the mission of the agenda, and that’s not going to change any time soon considering the misapplication of AI technology and especially considering the stultification of the masses means no competent software developers.

In short the problem with the technocratic vision is that it’s not salable or sustainable and it attempts to apply technologies, like AI, to problems it’s ill suited for while lacking the ability to integrate predictions / faculties. The technology simply doesn’t exist for this undertaking and the technology strategy (as best we can guess) is delusional. Doesn’t mean they not going to try.

Consider this the next time prolific internet hucksters try to sell you their next snake oil book or course.

Thank you very much to Terry Wolfe and Gabriel for their interest and talking points.

• Digital ID-gated internet

• Biometric checkpoints across society

  • Not spoken on, sorry again, lack of sleep, but essentially the problem is how do you have 8 billion identities callable across the world, and how do you search it to associate a digital ID with a biomteric input. Not possible according to what I know.

• 15 minute cities / geofencing

  • possible, but not sustainable.

• Social Credit Score

  • requires integration point of a digital ID before a comprehensive system could be worked on, but like I say, current technology cannot handle millions of transctions tracking billions of people.

• Carbon allowance

  • requires integration point of a digital ID before a comprehensive system could be worked on, but like I say, current technology cannot handle millions of transctions tracking billions of people.

• Banning red meat

  • requires integration point of a digital ID before a comprehensive system could be worked on, but like I say, current technology cannot handle millions of transctions tracking billions of people.

• Only self-driving EV cars/taxis

  • Waymo Taxies and Tesla self driving considered, LSS the vicious feedback loop of an absent minded model makes this risky

• Universal Basic Income

• Neural implants

• General Artificial Intelligence / Super-intelligence

  • Please consider reading Why Machines Will Never Rule the World it’s a deeply insightful book

• Humanoid robots replacing workers

  • We discuss Neo Robots.

• Digital Twin civilization simulation

  • Possible to a degree, just as comprehensive as you would expect. honeycomb, Gensis 5G

Those are the ones that come to mind immediately. In my estimation, this paradigm has too many vulnerabilities, requirements, and can’t possibly be maintained for more than a few years before all the flaws become critical failures. But if you understand the technical aspects better, I’d like to know your estimation of how plausible it is.
