    Lmao no

    I’m sure that if AI could get to the state where it could even approach maybe doing those things, it will mesh very well with capitalism and we’d all benefit collectively. One of the core tenants of capitalism.

    I hope someone drops you on your head again

      capitalism works by extracting surplus value from workers so the owner class can have it.

      surplus value can’t be extracted from technology, it can only make workers more efficient cost for cost.

      we don’t own the datacenters, therefore it won’t ever be making value to us.

        Surplus value cannot be extracted from technology? I guess if you mean directly.

        Every technological advancement has been used to to create more value that workers produce that gets stolen by the owner class, so through the transitive property, 100% percent of the value created by technology is stolen from the people actually using the technology to produce the value.

        We’ve had insane technology breakthroughs that have made the value we produce skyrocket, and we’re in the negative, by a shit ton.

        Also those data centers would be classified under “means of production” and in an actual socialistic or communistic economy would be under the control of the people and would then produce value for us.

            Edited that comment while you were reading.

            Yeah I know that, but you also said this:

            surplus value can’t be extracted from technology, it can only make workers more efficient cost for cost.

            we don’t own the datacenters, therefore it won’t ever be making value to us.

            Nuance is important.

      Your issue is clearly with capitalism, and yet you’re brain deadly bitching about AI instead.

        We’re just going to pretend that the only reason companies are funding AI research isn’t because they want to replace the work force because it could be cheaper?

          They should. That’s how automation works. We should be building a society that doesn’t require as much work, not insisting on doing work that machines could do when we don’t want to.
