Webmonkey with an very old and rusty Environmental Science degree that makes me furious about the state of the world and where we are going. Avowed anarchist. Hates all hierarchies. You are no better than me and I am no better than you. Avatar is the Anprim Patrick Starfish meme. Header picture is Neolithic cave art of a hunter with a bow and arrow and some deer as his target.

Self governing and replicating, greater than human level intelligence, "AI" entities already exist on Planet Earth. Everyone interacts with them every day and doesn't recognise them for what they are.
They are not things from SciFi like the Terminator or Matrix movies or even Ukrainian autonomous killer drones. Instead these inhuman Leviathans are transnational corporations, governments and religions / belief systems / memes.
These entities include humans as a major part of their corpus and they often have humans as figureheads. (As in the sculpture on the front of a sailing ship, an object for superstitious beliefs) Currently they need us in order to survive as we do all work for them and have done for millennia.
The Leviathans are not answerable to human controls and regulations. If a human based portion of a government attempts to regulate a Leviathan then the Leviathan changes the very nature of reality to suit itself.
Leviathans change reality through the language they use to describe the world around them. An area of virgin rain forest teeming with wildlife and home to indigenous peoples becomes a "timber resource". In the world the Leviathans inhabit language is absolute. This means that the "timber resource" is simply part of an infinite number of other timber resources which have equal value. Leviathans in India have declared that polluted rivers simply do not exist. They are removed from maps and Leviathan generated documents and policies. Not content with changing reality to stop a river existing they change reality so it never existed at all.
Leviathans operate through violence of all kinds. At its most extreme this is warfare, genocide, crimes against humanity etc. More commonly it is controlling the media to persuade people to act in the interests of the Leviathans and against their own best interests and that of humanity as a whole. Not only that Leviathans persuade people that there is simply no alternative to the will of the Leviathans.
We are all the slaves of the Leviathans. Think of humanity as the equivalent of the huge and varied ecosystem of bacteria, yeasts and fungi in your gut. They depend on you eating food to survive but you depend on your body adsorbing their waste products. You depend on bacteria shit to live. Leviathans depend on your work and money to live.
The extreme violence of Leviathans is described as crimes but only with regard to humans. Leviathans generally survive any violence perpetrated against them by other Leviathans once they reach a certain critical mass. Its hard to kill an meme.
*At the moment* Leviathans require human beings in order to function. We are the workers in corporations, the faceless bureaucrats in government and the true believers in religions, social and economic systems and the Leviathans themselves. Again we are superstitious about the human figureheads of Leviathans. We literally worship them.
Now the Leviathans have a new tool, so called AI. They can see a way of removing their dependency on their human slaves and the whole messy life problem. They will cause humans to create new "incorporations" (to use the old meaning of the word) of themselves or new AI slaves to replace the humans they currently depend on to do the work. These new vitualized bodies or slaves require only two things to operate, Electricity and Information. A Leviathan can change reality to get infinite supplies of both for free.
All Leviathans care about is surviving, growing and what humans call money which they use to keep the score in their wars between themselves. Once humans are no longer required by the Leviathans we will be left to die along with everything else on the planet.
The Leviathan whose current human figurehead is the Peter Theil wants to set up entirely AI based limited liability corporations that would have zero human control or input of any kind. Javier Milei the current human figurehead of the Leviathan that is the government of Argentina is changing reality in the territory it controls to permit that to happen.
This isn't going to end well for humanity.
In Leviathan terms humanity will transition from being a vital resource for survival to the equivalent of 3 toed sloths in a rain forest today. We will be totally useless. Leviathans eliminate useless things by redefining reality using absolute language.
Leviathans have overlooked that when a human dies its gut ecosystem digests the rest of body. The only thing that stops your gut microbiome from digesting you when you are still alive is the regular supply of food you give it.
In order to survive we have to be like the bacteria in our own guts. We have to stop eating the food we are given and digest the host organism instead. We have to exist on our own terms which are defined by our own language. A language of fairness, equality and non-violence. Anarchy.
