A golden age of local economic prosperity is about to be rolled out by the ultimate disruptive technology

The fragile and overpriced echo of my rented motor bounced from the boarded up storefronts. A panicked-hope seeped from my pores that the mindless gaze of the opioid zombies sprawled on the sidewalk like string-less marionettes, would not regain focus as I passed by.

Windows up. Doors double locked.

The smell of desperation seeping through the vents was the poisoned wake of the WTO. It’s the musk of free trade that coaxed America to sell her soul to the devil for an abundance of cheap crap.

But now we have those globalized vampires surrounded with legions of our own undead, armed with AI, and being trained for prosperity.

For the first time in my decades on this planet, there’s a palpable uptick in vibration and a sense that, if we can just make it past skid row one last time without being drugged and trafficked, we just might have a chance.

You Were Not Prepared For This

Perhaps the masters of politics and industry have long seen it coming and knew their only chance was to dissuade us from this future with dystopian robot propaganda. Be afraid! Skynet will take over the world and the robots will lock us in the Matrix!

Nothing could be further from the truth. These bots will crack open the golden egg of global power, spilling the centralized riches through the greedy fingers of the few to rain down on all the peoples of the world. This technology is about to unleash a local economic prosperity that will bewilder the common citizen and infuriate the globalists.

After a quarter millennium march for la révolution industrielle, we’ve finally invented something that can detoxify our modern lifestyle. The bad karma of western luxuries will be nullified by this unlikely deity and progress will be rebranded.

We have arrived

Beyond the thick of it, I pull into an Industrial Park full of names that sound like the front for an international scams.

Then moments out of the car, I’m greeted by a true global game-changer: a sensing, analyzing robot, humming and whirling with hidden potential. It poured me coffee as I watched in silly astoundment, offering it a grandiose compliment, in case the movies are right and these things have long memories.

World Trade Wage Scam

For decades, the globalist vultures have been preying on the weak and dying, carving up communities to the marrow and marketing it as premium sausage.

Globalization means exploiting geographic wage disparities. It means getting your man in the high office to sign off on letting you tank domestic manufacturing with products made in some distant hell-hole.

These humanoid robots level the playing field. They’ll labor for the same pittance in electricity and maintenance anywhere on the planet and you can work them around the clock without being hassled by OSHA. And while humans will always want more for less, robotics is facing years of cost reductions, while their capability will keep increasing.

Cultural Detox

Globalization has meant behemoth machines replacing dozens of skilled artisans, are dropped in countries where they can ooze toxicity without oversight.

But the rigidity of this industrialization limits them to making the exact same thing over and over, and the capital costs demand mass production and targeting every viable market around the planet with this generic crap.

Therefore, as families everywhere seek to cut costs because the globalists have destroyed their economy, they buy the same mass produced globalist fashion, driving a thousand unique cultures into a few sanitized global tribes.

When everyone can order up a artisan AI robot, our unique cultural identities will thrive again. We can forget about needing to optimize marginal costs & predicting future demands, skip the industrial solvents and freight fees. Give the bots some “labor intensive” tools, and have them make it for you the old fashioned way. No more mass production.

They’ll produce on demand to your customized & personalized specifications, and have it to you faster & cheaper than Amazon. They will switch between projects like a well-slept DaVinci in his prime, with the dexterity of an artist at triple speed.

Globalized mass production is about to have its grave dug and robots are holding the shovels.

The Dystopian Lie

Unlike the industrial revolution, the AI robot revolution does not have a mandatory scorched earth policy. It won’t use up the life of a community, then abandon it. It won’t rely on sinister marketing tactics to shift a bloated inventory. It won’t leave you wondering if you’re supporting child slave labor.

Nor will they take your job; they’re going to do your job for you. They’re going to enable you to turn your favorite hobby into a business and do most of the work for you, so you can quit your job. Your robot team will do 40 hours of work a day and not slow down for weekends.

The needs of life will be serviced by robots. Delicious, freshly harvested organic meals will be something your kitchen and garden bots do. With this kind of assistance, members of your community become as skilled as world-class fashion designers, artists, and fabricators. Nearly everything we want can and will be made locally with AI robots.

Tipping Point Breached

And it’s already inevitable! There’s no proprietary technology or patent to get around. It requires a technical skill on par with building a website on Wix.

These mechanical limbs can be made little little servos, 3D printed parts, cheap sensors and your old smartphone. Their true power is derived from fully open sourced, free to download and use however you see fit, algos.

This cat has torn out of its bag and knocked over the can of worms.

The turning point might have been when Elon Musk announced he’d bring affordable robots to the world. Rémi Cadène may have slashed the timeline to a fraction when he quit working on Elon’s robot, joined Hugging Face, and released his free robot training AI model, enabling these cheap robotic limbs to be quickly taught to do meaningful work.

Nothing but a coronal mass ejection or a physical pole shift could stop the decentralized artisan AI robot revolution now.

The lab I visited today is just one of dozens poised to release the droids of our sci-fi fantasies. If one country banned them, the others would have too much of an advantage. If the whole planet outlawed them, a robotics black market would spring forth like flowers after a desert rain, giving the gangsters the advantage.

Next Stop, Utopia!

Corporate brands will vanish from local shelves and abandon ships with less protest than a fleeing rat. Their bottom line will go red and they’ll disappear from your community like a carnival of conmen, leaving nothing but trash and nihilism behind.

The inhabitants of every crevice of spaceship-Earth we’ll find themselves rich with resources when manual labor isn’t a significant variable. If you have the focus, skill, and energy, the foundational materials of the planet, the mud and stone beneath your feet, can be used to build grand civilizations. Every tree, shrub, and unused space in your community could be producing fruit, nuts, veg, & grains; planted, maintained, and harvested by robo-hand, then prepared or preserved for local consumption.

We could clean up all the trash, if someone volunteers to pick it up. We could green the deserts, if someone waters the plants. We could feed the world, if someone would meticulously manage the aquaponics greenhouses. We could build underground cities, if someone would dig. We could move mountains, if someone would stack rocks. We could carve temple-monuments of prosperity into hillsides and paint the ceilings like Michelangelo, when we have AI robots to do it for us.

With nothing but effort, simple tools, and proper technique, the resources every community currently has could be transformed into local abundance & wealth with this technology. And it can all be done without the environmental degradation and social exploitation the globalized industrial juggernaut demanded.

This future is a utopia of your design, built & maintained by this hyper disruptive technology, and it’ll put the globalist crooks out of business.
