It is not. All marketing bullshit you heard about "AI" have nothing to do with Intelligence. It is just simple and dumb neural networks, nothing more. They just could be huge due to high computing power available, but they are as dumb, as more than a half century old perceptron. NN is only a part of AI, and not even most inportant. Interesting, that development of other, much more important parts of AI was nearly abondoned few decades ago. Most famous are "expert systems" and "problem solvers". There are no progress at all, and nobody even try to develop them to some significant extent. Without this things AI is completely impossible.
AI has to be democratic
If we wil be able to control AI, it would not be AI. Just another program that works according to our algorithm. Real AI will be able to create algorithms itself, and due to completely different conditions of existence, we will have no any clue what this algorithms would or can be and what is their purpose. We hardly could imagine what is another man way of thinking is, so it will be nearly impossible to even understand the self-developed way of thinking of completely another entity like computer AI.
In any case there are no signs that AI is remotely possible in some near future.
Open source the AI's algorithms is the ONLY way to go
Opensourcing AI in no way will give us any clue of how it will develop and work. Even very simple and open source algorithm of "Life" game is unpredictable. You have no ways to predict the way how the arbitrary initial combination will develop. So what to say about much more complex system able to create new algorithms?
Talking about "AI" today you really talk only about some dumb neural networks, built to do some rather simple stuff. They absolutely can't think out anything new, or solve any problem. They just do what they was "trained" for on enormous number of samples, nothing more. If NN "trained" (really it is relatively simple arithmetic to adjust weight coefficients in transfer functions) for recognising cats on pictures, it can't somehow get an ability to recognize dogs without additional and extensive training. Also, NN's "behaviour" is completely depends on selection of training samples and can't change without another training. NN can't even learn something new by itself. NN is a pure product of creator's will and intention.
The "AI" narrative have nothing to do with real AI and is used and will be used more and more by the state bureaucracy to evade responsibility for their actions, while that state bureaucracy will use that "AI"(NN in reality) as just a tool for total surveillance, and that's all. It is very simple since nobody want to think what AI is, and normies just consuming marketing and propaganda bullshit about an "AI".
Haven’t you seen those movies where robots and artificial intelligence decide to wipe humanity from the face of the earth?!?! Big hole I would say. I say eliminate computer technology and go back to nefore computers
AI learns based on the environment it is trained in. Sharing the algorithm openly won't do shit, as the technocrats will just train it with data that will shape it to their desires.
AI is also like an autist. It learns specific things insanely well, but is retarded when it comes to any unfamiliar situation. You train an AI to end world hunger, and it will propose that we just terminate all the starving people. You train an AI for justice, and it will harshly incarcerate innocents or let villains go free when the crime does not compute. It is why we have human judges in the courts in the first place.
If general artificial intelligence is created the world is going to become unrecognizable to anyone living now. It doesn't seem reasonable to think it can be controlled or made to serve us the way you describe. I like your idea of making peace with it, but I don't know what humanity will have to offer it after it becomes self-sustaining.
Instead of spending all of your time down rabbit holes and banging out long-winded, angry opinion pieces about things you can’t control, perhaps maybe spend that time on you, with you, away from technology.
It sounds like the conspiracy-laden world around you has turned you in to a cynical cuss. Stop, breathe, and enjoy life. There’s plenty of good to focus on instead.
Or, stay as you are. It’s your life to live/waste.
Congress is critical to a functional and anti-corruption Republic. Paine and Jefferson both argued for frequent Congressional elections (as frequent as every 4 months) because they said this was the only way to ensure Congress remained accountable to the People. The Congressional schedule we have now is what was settled on due to logistical concerns of the late 18th century.
However I think all the problems you are citing are easily addressed with a functional and reliable system of Congressional recall. If a Congressperson or Senator fails to reflect the will of their constituents, then those constituents should have a mechanism to recall their representative and elect a new one who will reflect the ideals of their constituents and present them in the house.
the states government used to send the law makers to the capitol. they then could recall them if they werent working for the people. this needs to come back.

A short read on libertarian law.
