An information hazard is an idea considered too dangerous to spread widely.But the most dangerous info hazards might not be about developing strong AI or building nuclear weapons.Sometimes they are simple truths that would unravel systems of control built up over centuries.Perhaps the most dangerous of these ideas is in realizing that our economic system isn't designed to solve scarcity — it's designed to maintain it.This is the core idea I explore in my next video: what happens when AI fully eliminates scarcity?Because Silicon Valley's billionaires want to use AI to build a utopia, but they're not planning on inviting you.Capitalism as we know it is dying a slow and painful death, but what's coming to replace it may be much worse: technofeudalism.A world where feudal lords and serfs re-emerge, but this time within a technologically advanced landscape.Is the pace of AI development propelling us toward a cyberpunk, technological dystopia?Or will AI usher in a golden age — a utopia?

An information hazard is an idea considered too dangerous to spread widely.
But the most dangerous info hazards might not be about developing strong AI or building nuclear weapons.
Sometimes they are simple truths that would unravel systems of control built up over centuries.
Perhaps the most dangerous of these ideas is in realizing that our economic system isn't designed to solve scarcity — it's designed to maintain it.
This is the core idea I explore in my next video: what happens when AI fully eliminates scarcity?
Because Silicon Valley's billionaires want to use AI to build a utopia, but they're not planning on inviting you.
Capitalism as we know it is dying a slow and painful death, but what's coming to replace it may be much worse: technofeudalism.
A world where feudal lords and serfs re-emerge, but this time within a technologically advanced landscape.
Is the pace of AI development propelling us toward a cyberpunk, technological dystopia?
Or will AI usher in a golden age — a utopia? Is the idea of utopia even possible?
Stay tuned!
