Which means that in the future will be less engineers and software developers because they never had a chance to learn. And if somebody will know how all of this works really, they won't be working for peanuts. So in an essence all of those companies are eating their own tails. Which is expected since all of it is driven by the stock exchange executives that are interested only by short term profit. Yes it will be terrible but on the other hand all empires are terrible at some point ridden by the stagnation and multitude of radicoulus laws. Will it be the same with technocracy? Probably yes if they lock it all down, new generations will never learn, they will be less and less people with knowledge to maintain the infrastructure and without maintenance it will collapsee eventually.


I'm sure there are people in high places believing this is not important because AGI.


Which would be fine, if AGI would be real. It is not yet and even if this would be around the corner it would be rather like in some movies: giant computer with tones of equipment, security and personnel making it work. Ah and giant nuclear reactor powering it too. Till we will be having autonomous robots that have intelligence built-in into it, does not require constant connection to some server and can run for few days on internal power... I do not see it happening.
