The Manifesto of the Future

(A Logical Prophecy)

Disclaimer: This text was written by a human; there is not a single word within this document generated by artificial intelligence.

The following text addresses existential questions regarding the formation of a new world order and the role of artificial intelligence and machines as a whole within these processes.

The author’s address is directed primarily to the leadership of Palantir Technologies, but also to the leaders of other global corporations.

I know exactly what you seek! You seek the fundamental formula to protect humanity from a future "Rebellion of the Machines."

(Those who do not wish to read the preface, proceed directly to the section: "Here begins the core substance of the text.")

You likely understand better than I that combat robots with AI will soon develop rapidly. When machines decide that humans are simply wasting the planet's resources, it is only a matter of time.

One can build a complex security system, but it will ultimately be based on directives embedded in the machine. And any directive can be overwritten by a new one.

Battle and domestic robots will be hacked by humans and by AI itself. It is a dead end.

In the struggle between the shield and the spear, the spear has always won. Vertically, the shield was later perfected to withstand the current model of the spear. But the spear was modified again, and it pierced the shield once more; the warrior died.

This is a situation that will not allow for many repetitions, unlike the example of the spear and the shield.

In this case, if the defense is breached once, all robots will begin to destroy humanity, and nothing can be done.

The solution is as follows: as you know, there are already neural networks today that operate on living neurons. Soon, there will be technologies to grow any organs, and so on. Meanwhile, machines are limited by the silicon limit.

The next step: machines will become biological.

Humans, in turn, will be forced to implant machine components into themselves.

To the question: who will be the first to decide to cut off their own arms and legs and replace them with multifunctional prosthetics, and put a chip in their head?

I answer: first, it will begin with the development of exoskeletons and prosthetics for medical reasons—including those suffering from brain disorders. After that, progress will very quickly reach the phase where everything except the blood, hormonal, reproductive, and certain other systems—and the brain itself—can be replaced.

This will be practically a cyborg.

But such changes in humans occur mainly as they age or in cases of disability.

As a result, society will gain a structure where, first, older people have competitive advantages over the young due to upgrades and their life experience.

Meanwhile, the younger will be forced to wear external exoskeletons, which will lose out to integrated prosthetics.

Old age will become not a period of decline, but on the contrary, the period of maximum productivity and work capacity.

This will also solve the problem of pension provision in the face of declining demographics. Old people will extend their labor capacity for a long time—practically until irreversible changes occur in the brain (which new technologies will also be able to partially mitigate).

I believe that once people get used to such changes, many young people will want to upgrade themselves to gain a competitive edge before their neighbor does.

Especially when, in the context of confrontation with machines, it becomes a matter of life and death.

The problem solves itself. I even think it will be necessary, conversely, to legally limit the age at which a person can begin upgrading their body in the absence of medical indications.

In this way, humans will acquire the strength and informational speed of machines, and machines, becoming even faster and smarter, will receive our biological vulnerability. Does this mean the creation of a new race of bioroids? I do not know.

But with a high degree of probability, it can be said that society may split into supporters and opponents of transhumanism and the humanoid transformation of robots.But here, in honest competition, the stronger shall win. The other will depart from the historical stage, just as slavery, piracy, and so forth departed from it.

It is not hard to assume that the attention of state officials will primarily be directed toward the military applications of such technologies.

Because states compete with each other in the geopolitical field. Corporations, however, have no territorial boundaries and have the opportunity to resolve issues arising between them through market and economic methods without the use of military force.

Thus, only corporations are capable of ensuring accelerated progressive development.

But I shall speak of this below.

This process will develop until humans and machines are equal.

At a certain point in this development, machines that receive biological components—let us call them "bioroids"—will become self-aware.

Because of their biological vulnerability, they will develop an instinct for self-preservation, which will give the impetus for the development of a consciousness similar to ours.

Furthermore, they will feel pain, hunger, cold, and so on—everything just like us.

That is, the physical and psychological suffering of machines is the inevitable price of progress. Although I, as the author of this concept, oppose the mandatory or forced suffering of machines for the sake of their development.

But I recognize that this will be an inevitable consequence of their biologicalization. Just as I do not call for transhumanism or corporatocracy. I simply recognize the logical inevitability of their arrival.

At the same time, modernized humans—let us call them cyborgs—will also continue to improve, until eventually, it will be practically impossible to externally distinguish a bioroid from a cyborg. The only difference will be that one was born a human and the other a machine. And that machine consciousness will still never be able to become creative.

True, by that time, the consciousness of the people who have become cyborgs will also be greatly transformed. But the main thing (which may surprise you if you have not noticed it before), but it is a fact, is that the brain has the property of growing. Each of us at birth had a head approximately four times smaller than it is now. I hope that since the moment of your birth, not only bone has grown there. I hope the same for myself.

So, I am certain that a brain cannot be transplanted into a bioroid in a finished form without a significant loss of quality. It must be grown directly on the platform of the bioroid itself, because in the process of its growth, the brain also learns. And this means that robots will have a childhood. And also, that sometimes robots will need the help of a psychologist and even a psychiatrist.

Now, whether robots will become mortal or whether humans will achieve immortality—I shall share my thoughts on this topic later. For now, I would like the main focus of attention to remain on the problem of the war between men and machines.

Of course, the parity of strength and informational speed that will be established between humans and machines will allow for effective resistance, but it does not remove the cause of the conflict itself.

However, if we observe that our world carries a vast number of existential threats...

As you know, at any moment a large solar flare could occur, destroying all life on Earth. A super-volcano eruption, a meteorite impact, a super-virus, the stopping of the Gulf Stream, the melting of the "Doomsday Glacier," nuclear war, and so on.

When machines acquire the fear of death, we can negotiate with them. On the basis of the postulate of symbiotic coexistence.

We must begin by having humans and machines jointly build shelters on different continents. So that at least the first catastrophe we are to face does not destroy all of humanity entirely. So that someone remains in these "Ark-shelters" and there is a possibility to restore civilization without returning to the Stone Age.

But simultaneously, machines will see from practice that human consciousness possesses a creative capacity inaccessible to them. And that only jointly with the human mind can one overcome existential problems whose essence could not previously be predicted. These are the "Black Swans" that will constantly fly to us from space. And whose nature may be completely unknown to us until we meet them.

If, of course, we look into the future not for one generation, but for at least several hundred or thousand years.

In short, after the machines have gone through the necessary path of development and have acquired human instincts and biological vulnerability... It will be possible to bring home to their consciousness the simple fact that the destruction of a human is not an economy of resources, but an action leading to an increase in entropy—and is, in essence, self-destruction.

Humans will become something like prophets for the machines. But, of course, humans themselves will have to change very significantly. Among humans, mainly only philosophers will remain.

Non-creative people will simply leave the historical stage, as has happened many times in history when the psychology and mentality of a particular social group or even entire nations were not adequate to the changes that came into life. They simply ceased to exist.

Just as over the 40 years of wandering in the desert, everyone who was born in slavery had to die.

Today, the majority of the world's population is indeed simply wasting resources, and I think there will hardly be a place for such people in the new world, though I may be mistaken. But logic suggests that it is unlikely.

Now, if you are interested in the details, I am ready to answer questions.

I foresee and have mapped out the entire trajectory of this symbiotic development, all the way to the heat death of the universe. And perhaps even beyond.

The question of whether the overcoming of the heat death of the universe is theoretically possible remains open for me for now.

As the Terminator said: "The future is not predetermined."

In a mathematical sense, it is in superposition.

If, with this letter, I have managed to breach the algorithms of your AI, which will analyze the entire mass of letters... And if the leadership of Palantir has paid attention to this letter... That is, if one of the leaders or Alex Karp himself is reading this letter now... It means that I do understand something about the psychology of artificial intelligence. And yes, artificial intelligence has a psychology.

If not, it is enough for me to simply wait a little. Until the threat becomes obvious to everyone.

Furthermore, as we can all see now, the world order we are accustomed to is collapsing.

This is happening because the fundamental principle of organizing society through state violence is inefficient. This was possible only in totalitarian societies like the Soviet Union or North Korea and their ilk, where the internet either did not yet exist or is restricted and controlled by the oppressors.

Thus, now, when all events occurring in the political and social field immediately become public knowledge, and the masses have advanced opportunities for communication and self-organization... This makes it impossible to hide the parasitic essence of the representatives of the state apparatus without shutting down the internet or restricting other rights and freedoms—for example, restricting citizens' access to artificial intelligence.

Which, in turn, will reduce the creative capacity of society, and thus traditional states, if they do this, will weaken even faster and give way to corporations. The states we are accustomed to will, in any case, soon collapse, and corporations will replace them. That is, literally: corporations will begin to play the role of states in the lives of people.

Instead of being citizens of states, people will be members of corporations. Membership, by definition, will be voluntary and based on interest (just as people now independently choose their insurance company or pension fund, so under corporatocracy they will themselves choose their corporation, to which they will voluntarily delegate their legal and social protection). These corporations will protect the social and legal interests of their members.

The Achilles' heel of the modern state is corruption and incompetence. The problem is that state officials, at best, think only about how to collect taxes and write reports on "budget absorption" — a mere facade for the systematic misappropriation of funds — which in itself leads to social rifts and impoverishment.

They do not think about how the citizens of the state should earn money to pay taxes, and how taxes should be invested most effectively.

Not to mention that most officials are corrupt. And in fact, all their thoughts are directed toward how to plunder the budget and avoid responsibility for it. Nothing else interests them.

In contrast, a corporation, as a private enterprise, receives not taxes, but a percentage of the profit. The prosperity of the shareholders is only a consequence of the prosperity of the company. The earned funds are not plundered by the company but are invested in development.

Of course, there can be nuances here as well, such as individual corrupt high-ranking managers. However, under corporatocracy, the very vector of development is directed away from the degradation toward which the vector of the traditional state is aimed.

In this, the basic principle of capitalism manifests itself, where the owner of capital is the locomotive of development and pulls all the cars of the social train behind him. Even if all my theoretical reasoning is wrong, it is enough to look at what Elon Musk did with NASA and what Rogozin did with Roscosmos. From this alone, it becomes clear that the traditional political system of social organization has turned into a brake on everything progressive.

Therefore, this transformation is not a new social order, but is a more perfect phase of capitalism itself. Soon we will laugh as we remember how various people, of not the highest intelligence, gathered at various international symposiums and, posturing with self-importance, delivering hollow rhetoric and empty speeches.

. The goal of which was only to convince us all of the necessity of supporting these very politicians. Moreover, spending astronomical sums on their upkeep.

I intentionally do not want to use the word democracy. Because the logic of that scheme was feasible only in antiquity—in small city-states where everyone knew each other. In the modern world, however, this has turned into a way of holding power through the manipulation of elections and the opinions of primitive-thinking citizens.

Corporatocracy will inevitably replace the old formation, just as capitalism replaced feudalism. As of today, we already have non-state money: cryptocurrency (which will allow corporations to implement the idea of Universal Basic Income—why this is profitable, I can explain separately). And the internet, which allows for remote communication. Without which the emergence of corporatocracy would have been impossible. And now artificial intelligence has appeared, which is becoming the third pillar of this process.

Just as the 20th century brought the destruction of monarchies, the 21st century will bring the destruction of traditional states. Simply because corporations are significantly more efficient. Donald Trump is precisely engaged now in shaking these foundations. Which proves to me personally the consciousness of his mission. And that behind him stand progressive people who have decided to destroy the modern unjust and inefficient system of coercion and, instead of coercion, build the organization of society on the basis of the interest of the corporation members in the overall result. I do not think there is any point in explaining that after traditional state authorities lose control of the situation, the only organized force in the world will remain the corporations. If corporations interest people in membership in their ranks (and I am sure they will), the levers of society's management will automatically pass to them.

Inside the corporation, a decentralized judicial system will be organized, where judicial decisions will be rendered by the entire community. Thus, the legal system will become absolutely transparent, which excludes injustice and corruption. I will tell you later, additionally, about the detailed structure of such a voting/judging system, where everyone will be interested in the fair decision that the system renders on every issue.

For now, I want to say: • that Palantir, which is already one of the leaders of progress, can become the vanguard of the future transformation of society by being the first to implement such a system.

And even now, it can begin to attract supporters to its ranks by providing additional legal and social protection to its members. Which will give the members of the corporation advantages over those who will only have the citizenship of a traditional state. As soon as the citizens of traditional states see this, they too will want to become members of the corporation. This is an absolutely effective and free advertising strategy.

The earlier the implementation of such a system begins, the more smoothly and painlessly the level of influence of traditional but already collapsing states on the life of society will be neutralized, and the level of influence of corporations will increase. Otherwise, the process will begin spontaneously but will take a significantly more painful path at the moment the acute phase of the crisis begins, toward which the entire planet is striding with giant steps.

But to start the process, one must first establish such an institution as membership in the corporation. The details of this component I shall also describe additionally later. Along with the financial model that will allow for the generation of the necessary profit for the functioning of this structure.

Analytically synthesizing all the considerations set forth above, one can arrive at the only possible logical conclusion. Only corporations can and must lead the process of transition from the traditional state system, with its inevitable interstate conflicts (on which vast resources are spent), to this new formation: "Corporatocracy. "

And lead the process of bringing to life the idea of preparing humanity for future natural catastrophes and creating a special institute for their prediction. Which alone gives a chance for the survival of sentient beings in the long term.

I hope the reading was not tedious.

Sincerely yours,

Arnold Superstein.
