without clear vision or insight they are racing to make a few things come true: (1) somehow magically LLMs and data centers will replace x number of workers. (2) hunter-killer drones can be manufactured by distributed fully automated factories and controlled directly by them through a MAVEN type interface, elimating the need for human security forces. (3) and finally they can cull and soften us up in a controlled manner hopefully avoiding a nuclear war during the process (so pandemics, civil wars, pollution, climate deaths, starvation, genocides etc). they have to have all these things align perfectly. the model is that they will live in a distributed israel type network state and the rest of us, the entire world, will be one big Gaza

none of these techbros understand this isn't possible but they think it's the only way they can survive. it's either this or we overthrow them. they over estimate how radicalized everyone is against them (they literally believe communists are everywhere, it's not hyperbole, they actually believe we are legion).

they literally believe communists are everywhere

The bourgeoisie have believed that since Marx's time. He called it "the spectre of communism".
