Great discussion Rasim. Oil executives are fond of saying, "the Stone Age did not end because they ran out of stones." Likewise, feudalism did not end because they ran out of lords, albeit their divine rights took a beating. Actually following the Black Death, they ran out of serfs. AI will supply or supplant a shit load of irrelevant peasants for our new era of Techno-feudalism.
