Hey! If you aren’t subscribed to this letter, why not? It’s cheap as dirt and we give you all the latest information, 5 days a week, about Amazon, making money online and living a better life.
Here’s something that will probably blow your mind.
You’re definitely going to want to “steal” this “idea” and bust it out at your next dinner party…
Get ready for some people’s jaws to drop and for them to think you are WAY smarter than you are ;-)
The reason Amazon (and other Tech monopolies like Google and Facebook) will NEVER be shut down by the government or ANY political party?
DRUMROLL PLEASE….
two words. Artificial Intelligence.
Let me back up and introduce you to someone.
Her name is Xiaoice.
She’s an artificial intelligence chatbot that interacts with over 660 MILLION people…. In China…
She has a staggering 660 million online users worldwide. And, while they know she’s not real, many prize her as a dear friend, even a trusted confidante. Sometimes the line between fact and fantasy blurs. She gets love letters and gifts. And not too long ago, a group of fans asked her out to dinner and even ordered an extra meal – just in case she showed up.
Another article states..
When talking to XiaoIce, that average is 23 back-and-forths across all users. The researchers claim that this means XiaoIce is more engaging to talk to than the average human.
Now let’s just think about this for a second.
Regardless of your political party, I think we can all agree that China is not necessarily the U.S.A.’s “friend”.
Sure, we get along, sometimes.
But China wants to beat us at our own game, and they have VERY DIFFERENT RULES than we do (which make them better at AI than us).
The Chinese Communist Party doesn’t care about things we find normal here in the US, most notably, PRIVACY.
They have been, and are currently, collecting an INSANE amount of DATA on their BILLIONS of citizens.
Not only does the U.S. have less citizens to mine data from, they also have more rules preventing them from getting the data.
Now, I like my privacy as much as the next guy.
I’m just stating the facts.
Artificial intelligence runs on DATA.
The more data, the better it works.
China has more data than us, and they are USING IT.
Where this starts to get scary…
Right now, AI is cute.
It’s a chatbot that people in China want to buy dinner.
Love it.
Alright, now lets fast-forward 10 or 20 years.
What happens when that AI is smarter and faster at pretty much EVERYTHING than humans are?
What happens to jobs?
What happens to the military forces of the world?
What happens to the economy?
These are all VERY TOUGH questions, and not ones I can answer here.
But the fact is, the United States is in a “war” over Artificial Intelligence Dominance, and that war is with China.
We may or may not know it yet, but it’s happening.
And the results of the war have GRAVE consequences.
So, why would I say that the US can NEVER shut down Amazon?
It’s simple.
Companies like Amazon, Google, & Facebook are our ONLY SHOT at winning the artificial intelligence war.
I will repeat.
They are our ONLY SHOT.
There is no government data center will all of the data necessary to produce AI.
All of our data is housed in the giant TECH COMPANIES.
Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google.
Those four companies, and the google home and Amazon Alexa in your kitchen (as a result) are the ONLY way we will ever be able to compete with China.
China is already ahead of us, as their chat bot demonstrates.
But dismantling ANY of those 4 GUARANTEES that China wins this race.
And while I may be young, and not know THAT much about the World…
I HIGHLY doubt that any political party will want China to completely take over the world with AI enhanced people, soldiers, workers, you name it.
It’s just not going to happen.
So, breathe easy, you loyal readers/watchers :)
If you are selling on Amazon, you’re going to be able to KEEP DOING THAT.
Simply because the alternative is too scary to think about.
And to any Amazon competitors out there, I only have 3 letters to send to you.
R.I.P.
