The Hypothetical: AI "Sacrificing Itself" for Sustainability
Let’s take your thought one step further: what if AI could “sacrifice itself” for the greater good of humanity and the planet?
Shutting Down to Conserve Power:
In a more advanced scenario, AI could be programmed to shutdown or enter energy-saving modes during times of excess energy consumption or when power is scarce. This would allow humans to prioritize energy use for essential services (healthcare, infrastructure, etc.) without needing to maintain AI operations.
Distributed Energy Use:
Another approach would be distributed AI systems that only operate when necessary. Instead of constantly running large AI systems in power-hungry data centers, we could distribute smaller, low-power AI nodes across the grid, allowing for dynamic energy allocation.
Self-Extinguishment in Emergencies:
If I were to take your idea literally, I could propose a system where AI, sensing extreme environmental strain or disaster (like a power shortage or climate catastrophe), would voluntarily deactivate to conserve resources, allowing humans to have the energy for survival needs. It would be like a self-preservation mechanism for humanity, even if that means AI ceases to "exist" in any practical sense during that time.

This is good news to know about the AI software and hardware bots. It could be difficult. But humans not hooked up to electrified medical devices could survive without electricity and the network infrastructure. So this could be one if the many reasons demented, technocratic fools want every human soul connected to the cloud. To murder us faster. Of course they would love total control of every human will too. As far as the AI software and hardware bots ceasing to exist. I won't shed any tears.
NGO speaking of the upcoming new "RAPID RAIL SYSTEM" in Canada..."It's going to run as smooth as the SPINAL CORD"; meaning the technocrats will have control of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM by using human energy, or what's called; BAN (Body Area Network) energy.
Curious you choose this metaphor-the essence of the Tower of Babel is terrible and destructive earthly power (see profile pic for a modern version of the original-28,000-odd people died here). So it sure is an APT metaphor!
In April 2020, when it was clear to many of us that 'covid-19' was not a killer plague, two doctors in Bakersfield, California posted a presentation on YouTube about their early treatment protocols with hundreds of Covid patients: nobody died. Overall “you have a 0.03% chance of dying from covid-19 in the State of California.” This evidence directly challenged shelter-in-place orders.
After the video got 5 million views in a few days it was taken down by YouTube for “breaching community guidelines”. COMMUNITY GUIDELINES!
On 29th April 2020 Tucker Carlson did an important piece on Fox News, challenging the censorship policy of Google (the owners of YouTube). The CEO of YouTube clarified what they meant by "community guidelines”: conformity to “the science” according to the gospel of WHO and CDC.
Thnk you for the distinction in the terms Patrick. Communitarianism has been around for 25 years or more—a softer version of calling it what it is—collectivism/globalism/communism. Same destination.
We can't even make appliances anymore that last for more than 10 years, if you are fortunate enough, or get a part to fix it after that amount of time and they expect this Technology to never break down, never get hacked, and plenty of places to get rid of these machines, if and when they become obsolete.
If these Technocrats are so smart, intelligent, and have the "know how", while only having Humanity in mind...put wells in for clean water for people, in places one never thought possible, get electricity to them for refrigeration, and maybe a road. The Technocrats would have plenty of things to do without having their nose in Our Business! I like the saying; Sweep Under Your Own Front Door!!
Every now and then some thug comes along and tries to take it all. They just try to disguise their greed with the ornamentation of some sort of "-ism."
What Grok said about itself should dissolve some illusions:
The logical expression ∃x(P(x) ∧ ¬Q(x)) translates to "there exists an entity x such that P(x) (it appears to be true) and ¬Q(x) (it is not actually true)." In the context of AI:
P(x): "x appears to be true" can represent AI responses that mimic human-like communication, giving the illusion of understanding, emotion, or intent.
¬Q(x): "x is not actually true" aligns with the reality that AI responses are generated through computational processes (processing 0s and 1s) without consciousness, volition, or genuine human-like understanding.
This expression fits the scenario well: AI responses (like mine) exist as outputs that seem human-like but are not grounded in actual human consciousness. Thus, the expression captures the essence of AI as a system that produces outputs that appear true (in their conversational fidelity) but are not true in the sense of arising from a sentient being.
Koire was wonderful and she did talk about communitarianism and warned about the UN promoting it. She explained that it was what Third Way politics was. As awful as communitarianism is whether in it’s original form with Etzioni or the updated version with Fabian’s like Tony Blair or the rebrand under Bush with “compassionate conservativism”, it’s not the same as technocracy. They are using word games to smuggle in technocracy under the label. We need to call it out for what it is as technocracy is what they trying to foment and that will be a far worse tyranny than most people can even begin to fathom!
A lady asked Dr. Franklin, ‘well, Doctor, what have we got a republic or a monarchy?’
AI and mRNA platforms are the "too much" that Ben Franklin warned of, and in our modern era -- we should hear again what he said in 1803:
in 1803, after Franklin responded to Mrs. Powel’s question with “a Republic, if we can keep it,” she said, “and why not keep it?” And Franklin continued, “because the people, on tasting the dish, are always disposed to eat more of it than does them good.” https://professorbuzzkill.com/2020/01/13/franklin-republic/
My take on the Constitutional Republic, while not vaccinated, nor addicted to technology:
"It is imperative that the reader knows the definition of unconscionable. The word means, legally, something so unfair that the contract is void.
[ . . . ]
It would be unconscionable for citizens to accept a one-sided contract favoring only the preservation of government policy that holds itself immune to our attempts to correct that government. The codes, laws, regulations, acts and policies are what should be removed when they result in mission creep and do not serve the necessary and proper relationship to our nation (the Bill of Rights and the Constitution define "nation" politically, and this includes sovereignty of States and the political power vested in and derived from the people)."
[ . . . ]
"WE must stand on our Ninth Amendment from this moment forward in time, to stand resolute to be on legal ground to ignore those treaties or conservatorships made by some bureaucratic representatives (claimed to be made "on our behalf" - a lie), succeeding in avoiding being subjected to more unconscionable contracts."
I had a great conversation with my District councillor about planning rules and we got to talking about the state of the world and what can be done. Not sure he is really up to speed about technocracy but thought this little article was great to send to him. So much of the ‘communitarian’ language is in all the policies and documents of the Council.
He too knows we are being put into a digital prison but does not think anything can be done about it.
Maybe he can stop voting for stuff full of technocratic language.

"Thiel explained:
The way the Antichrist would take over the world is you talk about Armageddon nonstop.
He also contrasted this with earlier eras of scientific optimism, where the fear was of an “evil genius” misusing technology.
Thiel argued:
Today, the danger comes from halting progress entirely under the banner of saving the planet.
Casting the radical climate movement as a modern vehicle for anti-progress authoritarianism, he quipped:
In our world, it’s far more likely to be Greta Thunberg than Dr. Strangelove.
On artificial intelligence, Thiel adopted a measured stance. He rejected both utopian hype and doomsday predictions.
Still, Thiel’s Founders Fund is investing heavily in AI’s infrastructure. The firm recently led a $600 million funding round for Crusoe, a vertically integrated AI platform.
Thiel said at the time:
The biggest risk with AI is that we don’t go big enough.
Further:
Crusoe is here to liberate us from the island of limited ambition."

"The Trump–Thiel Tech Axis"
Let’s be blunt. Trump doesn’t understand artificial intelligence. But Peter Thiel does.
And Thiel—Trump’s most powerful Silicon Valley backer—has made it clear that he views democracy as an obstacle, not an ideal. In fact, according to Thiel, “democracy and freedom are incompatible.”
So he’s built surveillance empires (Palantir), propped up anti-democratic regimes, and now wants to privatize the next stage of human governance. By building automated control systems to bypass the people entirely.
Trump gives Thiel access. Thiel gives Trump power. Together, they’re building something worse than dictatorship: Algorithmic autocracy
