First time (and only time) I played, one of my group was determined to go to the hoard of monsters outside. The DM kept asking if he really wanted to do so, and he constantly said yes. Which prompted the DM to roll his little dice and make a note. That happensed about five turns, he even survived one or two turns in the middle of the hoard.
The DM kept hinting that the hoard was just a hoard and surely meant death. He kept pushing him toward the other side (I think it was a castle), but my friend was very stubborn.
It wasn't a very long game, but it was fun. We should do that again some time.

I mean, $$$$ is literally the whole foundation of what America is about. The whole world revolves around money, sure, but in America it is not just the economy, also the culture, the religion, the media, the public parks, op's mom, everything!
Democracy might be the problem. You could put a threshold to vote in place, something to test that you know all the views from all the parties and the relevant topics. It's a slippery slope though, because once you enable restrictions on voting, it's hard to disable it again. If you accidentally get a Trump in power, he might just as easily restrict voting back to cis, white males only.
This guy's articles are always so long. Too optimistic and too pessimistic are both bad. You should be realistic. AI is great, but it is just a tool. A socially and ethically loaded tool.
