A while ago, I was arguing with someone (if I'm not mistaken) about how AI is incompatible with politics, law and democracy due to the nature of the whole process involved in writing laws. Now I notice that this is exactly the point. AI's purpose has never been democracy. Democracy, as Peter Thiel and his followers argued, is an obstacle in the front of tech's development, in the front of profit, of capital. As such, the logic solution is to get rid of it - and that's exactly what Trump is doing.
