This piece lays out a pretty dark cycle that goes way beyond "fake videos."
AI companies are running a feedback loop where their tools destroy public trust in reality, and then they use that collapse to sell AI governance as the "objective" replacement for a broken democracy.
Essentially: (OpenAI, Anthropic) make truth impossible to verify.
- The exhaustion makes voters give up on human leaders.
- The pivot is these same companies signing massive military and government contracts to run the state.
The "Singularity" isn't a machine waking up; it’s a tired civilization handing the keys to a black box because we’re too burnt out to govern ourselves.
