> Yeah AI is taking a lot of damage when the actual problem is capitalism

And I think it's fair to to throw flak in AI's direction, if what it does is make capitalism less tolerable by removing some of the "inefficiencies."

While apologists for capitalism have done a good job of pushing me towards wanting to burn it all down, I doubt that's in the cards any time soon and limits on AI technology are far more likely.



Seems ironic. Perhaps we should celebrate AI as the accelerator of capitalism’s ultimate unworkable demise

We aren’t getting regulations on AI. The military industrial complex includes the tech industry now. It’s an existential race to beat China.

The sad reality is that for all of our potential futures, we aren’t getting the Star Trek post scarcity utopia. Our onboard ship computers aren’t generating Earl Grey, hot, they are generating trillionaires on one hand and poverty on the other.

Too bad nobody really even knows what this means but a lot of people will use it as a slogan to convince people to give this money!
