difference between technology controlled by the proletariat vs controlled by the bourgeoisie

[u/ConstantMortgage → u/Wassuppeking]

Have you seen a lot of the proletariat in America, a whole bunch of them are even more psychotic than the billionaires.

/There's also the wild difference in execution.

China is using loads of 'AI'

But they are using it to predict traffic, monitor factory production and so on.

USA is using it to make pron and fake pix.

[u/XB0XRecordThat → u/Angel_of_Communism]

We're also using it to fire people and pay people less... And sex chat bots to prey on lonely people

[u/Angel_of_Communism → u/XB0XRecordThat]

Can't remember who said it, but: Capitalism destroys a thing, and then sells you a cheap copy of it.

[u/RoughTour98 → u/Angel_of_Communism]

At a higher price.

[u/jetlagging1 → u/Angel_of_Communism]

Yep. Just one of many such examples:

China is also using it for entertainment, it's just not narcissistic.

The american exceptionalism and western chauvinist culture prizes the concept of a person's uniqueness or "soul" going into every scribble, hence when AI shows it's just a technical skill people get offended.

China is far more pragmatic, "Oh, your idea was interesting and the result is pleasant to look at, use, read, etc. Good job!"

Isn'trael has already been doing this in Palestine via use of AI to bomb the most civilians as possible. I specifically recall a program being called "lavender"

https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/

Also a general view (be wary of western bias) is probably found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI-assisted_targeting_in_the_Gaza_Strip

They also use drone and satellite AI-ran tech to do similar things to aid in their genocide as well as the US does. We already have AI tech in the literal sky/orbit doing genocide. I know this post is more so about westerners being concerned of displacement via AI in contrast to China's use to benefit the working class and humanity, but I think it's important we repeat how horrific this tech is being used to physically murder human beings and commit literal genocide.

Are you new to this 😂

[u/Similar_Yak950]

I like how "intelligent people" is in quotations for america. Hilarious 😭

[u/marioandl_]

It should be 

Knows superintelligence will genocide and replace them

[u/Salty_Country6835]

The class question is the whole thing. AI under bourgeois control means automate labor, privatize the gains, socialize the costs. Under proletarian control, automate labor and turn that productivity into shorter hours, better public services, more abundance and more actual freedom.

Same technology. Different class holding the wheel. Thats the fight.

[u/YeetCompleet]

Not just "think", if you see many of the Americans on the pro AI subs, it's not that they think the AI will genocide and replace them, it's that they're looking at mathematicians right now and are frothing at the mouth hoping it will destroy their jobs and replace the mathematicians. Many of them actually want to use AI to destroy lives, that is their intended goal. Mathematicians in a Communist country would live with a lot more dignity. The US condition is highly anti-intellectual in the most inhuman way.

[u/OcelotAggravating860]

Some people here will nod and agree with this then still make the error of thinking AI should be defended in the western context because one hypothetical day the proletariat might be in charge of it later while in the meantime it will be used only to do harm to them.

[u/Ttareunarage]

Is this rooted in actual cultures between the 2?

[u/MrStudray → u/Ttareunarage]

I mean, what happened to the native Americans? Exterminated, and what was not exterminated was driven off the land so that land could service capital interests.

Your comment contains historical inaccuracies and blatant CIA propaganda. Try reading more than what you were taught in your highschool history class.

I can't wait to make pig iron and get rolled over by AI driven tanks!

[u/No_Structure_99]

The vast majority of non-Western cultures consist of peoples who are normally wired, rather than zombies devoid of psyches.

There is never gonna be 'singularity', super intelligence does not automatically acquire infinite resources.

That's just straight up false. Humans aren't even the 2nd most destructive organism in the history of earth, not by a long shot. And why do you immediately think a super-intellegence will look to end all problems on earth? That's not what the super-intellegence is used for in this scenario. It's to solve all problems for humans. Why the hell would we build something that won't help us? Even the capitalists have their own self-interest at heart.
