Yes this'll be unstoppabe because tech money always invests in software security, enthusiastically listens to real engineers over their own uninformed opinion, and always makes good investments and that's why all tech stuff is unhackable, unbreakable, and nothing ever goes wrong ever.

Don't feed the notion that its possible for a human, even if stupid rich, can overcome entropy after making an enemy of the entire world. It takes a society to make the world ordered enough for something like this to exist. Their need for control is a mental illness, not grounded in any real ability to reality. It's hot air. Don't make their delusion your delusion.

i suspect that the lack of response (or even interest) from westerners -- americans in particular -- about the global scale societal manipulation revealed in the epstein files proves that we're already there.

and i also think that you're right in that oligarchical hubris is the only thing that can derail this at this point.

There's an old Isaac Asimov story about a society totally reliant on robots. But the military figures out that people can do math and replaces the guidance control system in missiles with people because they're cheaper than the computer.
