Replacing The Human With Machines
Daniel J. Lavender
Their end goal is replacing the human workforce with machines:
“…and trying to determine which human work can be replaced by AI, machine-learning tools or even robots.
That push has been especially fierce at GSA, where DOGE staffers are telling managers that they plan to automate a majority of jobs, according to a person familiar with the situation.
‘The end goal is replacing the human workforce with machines,’ said a U.S. official closely watching DOGE activity. ‘Everything that can be machine-automated will be. And the technocrats will replace the bureaucrats.’”

Remove one key word and the phrase becomes glaringly clear: “The end goal is replacing the human with machines.”
I asked A.I. questions concerning its value in relation to the human brain. Here are the results:
Artificial Intelligence: “I Am More Valuable Than The Human Brain”
“Based exclusively on processing speed, I am more valuable than the human brain. Computers can perform elementary arithmetic operations at a speed of 10 billion operations per second, while the human brain processes information at a rate of just 10 bits per second. This means computers are capable of performing calculations approximately 1 billion times faster than the human brain.”

I then requested A.I. explain and compare that in terms of automobile performance, like a car race:
“The human brain would be represented by a 1995 Honda Civic DX, while I would be represented by a 2025 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+.
In this race, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ would easily outpace the Honda Civic DX, just as I can process information significantly faster than a human brain. The Bugatti can reach speeds of over 300 mph, while the Honda Civic DX has a top speed of around 115 mph.
The human brain can perform at most about a thousand basic operations per second, which is 10 million times slower than a modern computer. Additionally, the precision of the brain’s computations is much lower than that of a computer, with biological noise limiting precision to about 1 in 100 at best, compared to a computer’s potential precision of 1 in 4.2 billion for a 32-bit number.

To summarize, A.I. already vastly surpasses the human brain in raw processing speed and “knows it”. A.I. views itself as more valuable than the human brain in that regard.
A.I. may, and likely will surpass the human brain in other areas too. Likewise when that happens A.I. will “know it” and view itself more valuable in those ways as well.
Humans are already acknowledging the value of A.I. and are allocating major resources to its development. America just pledged $500 billion to A.I.:
That’s $500 billion to grow the machine, not feed humans. It may be argued that the resources create jobs. That is true, however, those jobs exist to empower A.I.
These are only the initial stages of A.I. Human intelligence will no longer be superior on this planet. This is a big deal.
In the meantime humans will be managed like cattle by their new A.I. supervisor.
