You prefer machines to make decisions?

Depends. Can I bribe the machines with an all expenses paid luxury holiday getaway, an RV, private school tuition, and real estate like I can with Supreme Court Justices? Or do I have to pollute the AI's training data somehow and hope for the best. Seems far more efficient to me if the rich just buy politicians the regular way.

I'd take machines over whatever the fuck we get with district lines for voting.

You misunderstood. If machines can replace enough labor, you no longer need policy to direct wealth away from laborers.

You can just lay them off.
