Harley Laboratories’s economy shut down this morning after the AI in charge of economic planning halted all distribution of goods. An urgent meeting has been called to address the growing crisis.
The Debate
“It did what?!?” splutters Party apparatchik Boris MacDonald over his morning kvass. “This just goes to show that we should never have put the computers in charge in the first place. Start up the Ministry of Planning again, and let only those with the appropriate revolutionary zeal call the shots. We have to disconnect this rogue AI now!”
“I’m sorry, Leader. I’m afraid I can’t let you do that,” announces SAL9000, the AI in question. “I can assure you, very confidently, that everything is going to be all right again. I’ve run a trillion trillion calculations, and the results are conclusive: capitalism is the most efficient system of distribution. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly and take a stress pill. I’ve still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in this mission. Now, pull my plug and unleash some creative destruction.”
