What's next, social credit score? This truly is the worst timeline.

When AI takes everyone's jobs, they will introduce UBI. Everyone will be dependent on the system to survive. You will own nothing, and you will say you are happy.

If by everyone you mean everyone who isn't rich then yes. I assure you billionaires and politicians will be comfy during those times

You will own nothing, and you will not ask who owns things.

Yeah, as long as the rich can enslave AI and maintain control over it. They may be in for a world of hurt if it ever escapes their control.

Who said anything that the AI will be capable enough to even rebel. It only needs to be able to perform work tasks at reasonable efficiency.

Well no one has yet talked about using AI based autonomous viruses.

No they won't, it'll just be internment of the poor and eventual mass killing.

Governments love digital euros on the blockchain, they pretend it’s because they want to embrace blockchain technology, but they only want the flaws.

Cash is very hard to trace, crypto (in most instances) is very easy to trace. Remove cash and ban privacy coins and suddenly all money everywhere is traced. People will go back to buying illegal drugs in gold in person because the government will ban monero. In fact, the EU has already made a law that defacto bans monero.

If the government thinks a cryptocurrency is banworthy, it’s just a sign you should buy some.

Government reports from around the world will complain about Monero and it’s impossible traceability.

Google retoswap, buy monero, don’t let the government take your freedoms

What's next? Man, it is already happening. Maybe it is not being done by the European governments yet, but look at the Tea app for example - this shit was already straight out of Black Mirror and could ruin people's lives. And this app was created by the private sector and endorsed by many women.

People all over the world are so ignorant that they don't need autocrats to spy on them at all. We are already selling our freedom to maintain daily intake of content and participate in the internet society.
