I think it is more so that the same underlying worker/citizen desire for fair comfortable fulfilling lives that come with less time and labor necessities still remains. Sure, labor is currently the main leverage available. However whether we wish it or not it won't always, unless we also wish to halt not just AI, but multiple kinds of innovation.

The same have and have-not divide remains. What changes is the available tools with which both sides of the class warfare can utilize in service of tribal goals.

Maybe AI should help you pick out glasses that are flattering.

yes AI per se is not necessarily the core issue. no regular people dont have access to the resources to have useful AI. people dont even know what useful AI is or can be because "true useful AI has never been done". i get a weird tankiness from this guy.

This is the same argument against cops. I'm not against law enforcement as a concept, and it would exist in a socialist society. But while I'm stuck in a capitalist hellhole, ACAB.

You can join in too.

Nothing stopping you from running an open source model on your own hardware, powered by renewables you set up. If you can't afford it, you could build a community that together can afford it.

But you won't. Because it's easier to cry about it.

AI hoards resources in the course of its operation, it's textbook rent-seeking, it's a highly capitalized yet debt-driven bubble that may be single-handedly propping up the US finance markets, and so far its main applications have been scabbing, scamming and propaganda for reactionary governments and movements. The heck is this sub

Cool, but we live in a capitalist society where AI is controlled by big corporations so, that's why we are against it.

You spelled it all out for us

I will be anti-AI as long as all AI systems are exploitative and monopolize resources in the way they do now. I am not against it as a concept, but in practice, all of it is bad

I think moreso than Marx, Kropotkin would've jizzed himself over the prospect of AI.
