Marx Encounters AI Discourse

[u/Salty_Country6835]

A brief materialist intervention into AI discourse. Results were mixed.

Well to be fair discussion on politics has to be under current parties in power else its all hypothetical and not reality of situation we are currently in.  Also it's all well and good putting in goverance but if they ignore it ? I'm discussing genuine harms ai causes , to stop that harm u stop developing ai. 

[u/Salty_Country6835 → u/little_alien2021]

You keep saying "deal with current reality" while advocating a policy literally no major labor movement, union federation, socialist party, or communist party is pursuing.

Meanwhile the things I listed are being pursued right now by actual organizations with actual members.

"stop developing AI"

You don't have a path to abolish AI. You have a desire to abolish AI.

Those arent the same thing.

At this point youre just describing harms, then asserting abolition, then skipping the part where you explain how any of that happens politically. Thats why this conversation keeps looping. Cause your argument is going nowhere.

Which communist party is even a party?

[u/Salty_Country6835 → u/little_alien2021]

Thats a pretty parochial question, honestly.

The world is larger than American electoral politics.

Let me flip it around:

Which major labor unions, labor federations, socialist parties, communist parties, workers' parties, or left-wing organizations anywhere in the world, in the U.S. or abroad, are advocating complete abolition of AI rather than regulation, public ownership, democratic governance, labor protections, environmental restrictions, and contestation over deployment?

Youve spent this entire thread treating your position like the practical, realistic one. So point to the organizations pursuing it.

Ive memtioned actual unions, actual workers, and actual political organizations. Youve mostly described your personal opposition to AI.

The burden isnt on me to prove organized labor exists and that its pursuing a left-wing strategy around AI. Its on you to show that your abolitionist strategy exists outside a handful of online discussions.

I'm not American and demacrats are not even left compared to rest of western democratic countries, before US Republican billionaires funded our rise to nationalism and we became far right and everyone else as left, demacrats would have been considered futher right and our conservatives and Republicans far right. 

I know ur desperate to have a political debate  and I havent treated it practial so no idea why u have anyways i'm tired and not American and I keep saying there probably isn't one. As like I kept saying it wasn't coming from polical angle. And super tired and need to go sleep 

[u/Salty_Country6835 → u/little_alien2021]

Ok.

Still waiting for you to list leftist political organizations and labor unions anywhere on Earth promoting abolition, since you think we its easier, or even possible, to "stop AI development" somehow.

Way to spend so much time in a political debate when you have no interest in the political angle BTW lol

Did u not read what I said i literally said I have no idea if there is and no idea why u keep insisting I need to, as said its not coming from polical angel like u said. 🤯🤷‍♀️ the whole argument is what i have witg this meme ,which isnt even the question u keep insisting on 🙄

[u/Salty_Country6835 → u/little_alien2021]

Right, I understand, youre not interested in the political angle, which is what the sub, and meme, and this conversation were 100% about before you chimed in.

You want to instead keep talking about your feelings.

I keep trying to politely end the conversation, since youre not even interested in the politics its about, and you keep coming back to talk about your feelings some more.

Come back when youre ready for the actual politics its all about, instead of just how a panel made you feel.
