Episode 473 – Algocracy: Government for the New World Order
• https://corbettreport.com, by CorbettAnd, as you will discover in this presentation, algocracy is being seeded into the public consciousness right now by the very same Big Tech broligarchs who are now in a position to implement their plan for locking down society in an AI-run dystopian surveillance nightmare.
TRANSCRIPT
MARC ANDREESSEN: This is my belief and what I've been trying to tell people in Washington, which is: If you thought social media censorship was bad, this has the potential to be a thousand times worse.
And the reason is, social media is important, but at the end of the day, it's "just people talking to each other." AI is going to be the control layer on everything. Right? So AI is going to be the control layer on how your kids learn at school. It's going to be the control layer on who gets loans. It's going to be the control layer on: does your house open when you come to the front door? It's going to be the control layer on everything. Right?
And so if that gets wired into the political system the way that the banks did and the way that social media did, we are in for a very bad future. And that's a big thing that we've been trying to prevent—is to keep that from happening.

JAMES CORBETT: Welcome back, friends. Welcome back to The Corbett Report. I'm James Corbett of corbettreport.com, coming to you, as always, from the sunny climes of western Japan, here in March of 2025, with Episode 473 of The Corbett Report podcast, "Algocracy: Government for the New World Order."
Those chilling opening words portraying what a government by algorithm might look like come to us via Marc Andreessen on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, where Marc is warning us about the possibilities of not just social media censorship and control, but AI censorship and control, and how much worse that will be when AI is a layer on everything we do and everything we use.
Now, alright, let's start today's exploration—which will no doubt get into why I do not trust Marc Andreessen to keep us safe from the coming AI technocratic overlords—by defining our terms.
Probably this is a new term for most people in the audience: "algocracy." This is a term that we can work out from etymology, if nothing else. Kratos, of course, being the Greek word for "rule," which is where we derive, for example, "democracy": demos kratos—rule by the public.
