FT Essay Sparks Debate: Super-AI Could Undermine the Case Against Central Planning
_akpiper · x · 2026-08-30
A post quoting an FT essay argues that a super-AI with access to all transaction and device data "would bury Hayek," since AI erodes the 20th century's strongest argument against central planning — that dispersed information makes planning infeasible. The poster embraces the hypothetical, suggesting AI would govern better than the usual "ship of fools." A niche but substantive take on AI's societal implications.
