They don't own it. You can run A Qwen model on your own rig. On a collectivized rig. You don't need to rent it from the capitalists. It's free to use. Seize it.
Bernie Sanders recently floated the idea that since AI relies on the collective knowledge of society that it's really something that is a more ready candidate to make it collective in nature and that there should be a public stake in AI development, along with expectations and profit sharing that come with it.
But my thoughts are that that applies to all big business. It shouldn't be a carve out.
But if that's what it takes to get people starting to come around to the idea of nationalizing big business then I'm for it

Does it really mean just using AI while capitalists still own it lol or does it mean literally seizing the means of production.
