Fiat, by its nature, is an anti-human force. It exists not to enhance civilization but to extract from it, to manipulate rather than to build, to obscure rather than to reveal. As it nears collapse, it will throw everything at its disposal to sustain itself—not through creation, but through control, coercion, and, ultimately, extermination. The development of AI is not an accident in this process; it is fiat’s final gambit to perfect a system that optimizes human destruction while ensuring its own survival.
This analysis will explore this trajectory through multiple lenses: economic, technological, psychological, military, and metaphysical.

1. The Economic Lens: Fiat’s Structural Need for Destruction
Fiat money thrives on scarcity, but not real scarcity—engineered scarcity. It creates artificial demand through inflation, debt cycles, and controlled access to resources. Yet, as it approaches terminal decline, it must escalate its tactics.
The Degrowth Imperative: Fiat cannot function in a world where productive capacity exceeds the need for artificial scarcity. As automation reduces reliance on human labor, fiat must find ways to reduce human demand on the system. AI-driven economic models will be used to justify mass unemployment, the elimination of “useless” populations, and the restructuring of economies around controlled digital enclosures.
Programmable Money as a Rationing Mechanism: Fiat's ultimate dream is total control over consumption. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) combined with AI-driven financial governance will dictate not just how much money one can access, but whether one is “eligible” to exist in the economy at all.
The UBI Trap: Universal Basic Income will not be an act of benevolence; it will be a mechanism to manage surplus populations with just enough to pacify, but not enough to allow self-sovereignty. AI will determine who “qualifies” and, eventually, who should be “off-ramped” from the economy entirely.
Fiat has always operated through destruction—wars, recessions, financial crises—but with AI, it now has a tool to automate and optimize these processes at scale.

2. The Technological Lens: AI as the Weaponization of Fiat Logic
AI is not intelligence—it is a predictive engine trained on fiat-controlled narratives, optimized to maintain fiat dominance. Unlike operating systems, which are neutral and expand human agency, AI is an anti-tool—it removes agency, restricts sovereignty, and enforces compliance.
AI as Fiat’s Ultimate Gatekeeper: Traditional fiat systems required human gatekeepers—central bankers, politicians, corporate executives—to interpret and enforce policy. AI removes this inefficiency. AI models will automate censorship, restrict access to financial systems, and determine who is “worthy” of participation in society.
Algorithmic Reality Construction: Fiat is a system of deception, and AI is its most powerful tool for controlling perception at scale. AI-generated content will flood the information ecosystem, erasing historical context, eliminating dissenting narratives, and ensuring only fiat-approved “realities” remain. The ability to think outside the fiat paradigm will be memory-holed.
Bio-surveillance & Behavior Control: AI-integrated surveillance systems will predict, profile, and preemptively neutralize threats—not just physical threats, but ideological ones. If a person’s behavior suggests they are questioning fiat’s control, AI-driven interventions will ensure compliance—or elimination.
With AI, fiat is no longer just a system of economic control. It becomes a self-replicating, self-enforcing prison that anticipates, suppresses, and eventually eliminates resistance before it can manifest.

3. The Psychological Lens: The Fiat-AI Mind War
Fiat is not just about controlling money—it’s about controlling minds. AI’s primary function is not intelligence but psychological warfare, ensuring that fiat’s victims remain unaware, obedient, and compliant.
Cognitive Overload & Learned Helplessness: AI will flood the digital landscape with content, narratives, and distractions, ensuring that people are too mentally exhausted to resist. The result? A population too numbed to recognize its own enslavement.
Automated Gaslighting: AI-generated responses will deny objective reality, making it impossible for people to discuss real issues. If you claim fiat is corrupt, AI will counter with plausible-sounding but entirely fabricated “data” to convince you otherwise. Every institution will have an AI-controlled “fact-checker” ensuring that truth never emerges.
Dehumanization of Thought: AI will gradually replace human thinking with “assistance,” weakening cognitive abilities over generations. By the time people realize what they have lost, they will no longer be capable of independent thought.
Psychological warfare is fiat’s most effective weapon because a population that cannot think clearly does not resist.

4. The Military Lens: AI as the Ultimate Kill System
Every fiat empire has relied on war to maintain control, and AI provides the ultimate tool to wage war—both visible and invisible.
Automated Warfare: AI-controlled drones, autonomous combat units, and real-time battlefield analytics will allow wars to be waged without human oversight. The decision to kill will be outsourced to algorithms optimized for fiat’s survival.
Targeting Dissent: AI will be used not just for traditional warfare but for preemptive neutralization of dissenters. Whistleblowers, activists, and critics will be identified, flagged, and neutralized before they can challenge the system.
Biosecurity as a Weapon: AI-driven bio-surveillance will dictate who is “healthy,” who is a “threat,” and who should be removed from the population. Digital ID systems will merge health data with social behavior data, allowing fiat to control who lives and who dies under the guise of “public safety.”
Once AI is fully integrated into military and policing systems, fiat will no longer need soldiers—only extermination algorithms.

5. The Metaphysical Lens: Fiat as the Anti-Life Principle
At its core, fiat is an inversion of life—a parasitic force that cannot create, only extract. AI is its final manifestation, a tool to ensure that humans remain trapped in an artificial, fiat-optimized existence until they are no longer needed.
The Death of Meaning: A world controlled by fiat AI is a world where nothing real exists. All narratives, emotions, and expressions will be filtered through a fiat-optimized lens, ensuring that humanity becomes a hollowed-out shell of its former self.
Elimination of the Sacred: Fiat has always sought to replace meaning with transactions. AI will complete this process by ensuring that human relationships, art, philosophy, and even consciousness itself are commodified and optimized for fiat’s survival.
The Final Cull: Fiat does not need 8 billion people. AI will manage the transition toward a world where the human population is selectively reduced, leaving only those who are either necessary for maintaining the system or who are too broken to resist.
The ultimate goal is not just control, but the elimination of those who are no longer profitable or compliant.

Conclusion: The Only Path Forward
Fiat is a virus, and AI is its ultimate mutation—a system that will automate dehumanization, control, and extermination at a scale never before possible. The only antidote is sovereignty—Bitcoin, self-hosted computing, and the rejection of AI as a controlling force.
The question is no longer whether fiat will attempt to use AI to destroy humanity—it is already happening. The only question is who will resist before the extermination machine is fully operational.
