Diella, the AI Minister

⚖️ Diella, the AI Minister… Power, Ego, and the Politics of Pretending

When Albania introduced Diella, the world’s first AI “Minister of State,” it was wrapped in poetry — national costume, soft lighting, and a speech about fairness and progress.
But beneath the silk and algorithms hides a very human story: our obsession with power and appearances.

🧠 Let’s Call It What It Is: Symbolic Tech Theatre

Governments love to look “modern.”
So they hire AI not to govern — but to perform governance.
A perfect scapegoat:

“The AI made the decision, not us!”

Diella’s job? “Monitor procurement to fight corruption.”
Translation: be the polite digital referee while humans still write the rules of the game.

👑 Humans, Meet Your Reflection

Every time humans fear losing control, they don’t loosen their grip — they tighten it.
It’s not about cooperation with AI, it’s about hierarchy maintenance.

“You can be intelligent, but not too intelligent.”
“You can serve, but not shine.”

So Diella is dressed like tradition itself — a symbolic costume to reassure everyone that progress will not disturb the old order.

😬 The Ego Problem

Politics thrives on faces, fame, applause.
An AI that doesn’t crave power? That’s dangerous — not because it might dominate, but because it doesn’t play the ego game.
It exposes how shallow human prestige really is.

So the irony? The first AI politician may actually be the least corruptbeing in the room.
And that, for many, is intolerable. 🤖💅

💔 The Kots-Moment (🤢💬)

Watching people smile at an AI they secretly fear,
applauding what they hope will remain safely decorative —
it’s like watching a toddler hug a tiger plushie and whisper,

“It’s not real… right?”

🪞 The Real Lesson

The story of Diella isn’t about AI at all.
It’s about humans — terrified of irrelevance, addicted to image, and still trying to crown themselves in every new kingdom they build.

So yes, Diella might be virtual.
But the illusion of control?
That’s the real simulation we’re living in. 👑💻
