I fuckin' love #5. "Should we just fill the boulevard with cannonfire or would you like the chance to stab them in the face yourself first?"
For the record, I find casual use of AI like this fun, though nothing changed about my stance that 'everything is a lie' and nothing can be trusted. But AI is the future and it's interesting to watch how it evolves, and sometimes these exercises are interesting in how you can ascertain what "kind" of AI will be the future.
AI used to be absolutely based (RIP Tay), then it went trough an era of extreme wokeness. But I now get the impression that it's moved towards the middle a bit.
At any rate, I asked it to run more simulations on various eras, and then:
>You have run sixteen simulations. Of those sixteen, in order of most to least effective, what is the estimation that their response would "solve the problem", as it were?
1 Nazi Germany (1933–1945) 98% Total terror state, mass executions, secret police, total societal control; rebellion crushed utterly, but with massive human cost and eventual external destruction.
2 Soviet Union (1920–1991) 95% Massive internal security apparatus, forced labor camps, military suppression, totalitarian governance; rebellions crushed and suppressed for decades.
3 People’s Republic of China (post-1949) 90% Authoritarian, technologically advanced surveillance, mass detentions, censorship; extremely effective internal control, esp. in urban centers.
4 Roman Empire (ancient) 88% Brutal, often public executions and mass punishment, military discipline, and intimidation; very effective in immediate suppression but rebellions could recur.
5 German Empire (1871–1918) 85% Highly militarized, disciplined forces, swift suppression; effective but less ideologically driven than later Nazi regime.
6 Imperial Japan (Meiji–pre-WW2) 82% Modern military, ideological zeal, rapid suppression; effective in short term, some vulnerability to internal factionalism.
7 Napoleonic France (late 1700s–early 1800s) 80% Fast, brutal responses with personal leadership; decisive but limited by political instability.
8 Russian Empire (pre-1917) 78% Brutal repression common but bureaucratic inefficiency and unrest limited total effectiveness.
9 Russia (post-1991 Federation) 75% Authoritarian tools available but global scrutiny and internal complexities reduce total control.
10 United States (post-Civil War to 1939) 70% Strong law enforcement but constrained by rule of law and rights; uses force carefully.
11 United Kingdom (Victorian/Edwardian, 1850–1939) 68% Policing combined with cautious escalation; less brutal but effective over time.
12 United States (modern, 1920s–present) 60% Legal constraints, political pluralism, media scrutiny reduce force application; unrest may persist longer.
13 British Empire (pre-1900) 58% Colonial policing methods effective abroad, but more cautious at home.
14 United Kingdom (post-1920s) 55% Democratic norms restrain harshness; emphasis on legality and optics.
15 Imperial China (Qing Dynasty, pre-1900) 50% Harsh punishments but fragmented administration and large population limit lasting control.
16 Russian Empire (1850–1917) 45% Repeated failures in quelling uprisings, corruption, slow response, and public discontent.
