What happens when AI takes the job of the politicans and 1%?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

AI is a tool, and the large language models which have recently gained popularity require an immense amount of computational resources to create and deploy. All of that capital investment ultimately belongs to someone. We shouldn't be fooled into thinking that AI has broken containment or any such science-fiction fantasy. It is a machine being deployed by very specific people for very specific purposes.

It is not much different than the mechanized looms deployed by early capitalists to alienate labor and transform artisan trades into menial piecework, and the same approach the Luddites took is appropriate.

I'm honestly more concerned about when it takes the jobs of the working class. If you can no longer even sell your labor to capital, what bargaining chip do you even have anymore?
