The point is that being a consumer of AI is not seizing the means of production. If you're not spending millions of dollars training and operating the AI to actually own it, the power you have is on lease and the terms can change at anytime without regard to your needs or wishes.

More like national socialist

AI isn't your pal, it is not the cure for isolation under capitalism. It is also not free to run unless you are the product.

Frankly this take that AI will lead to a communist revolution if people embrace the technology reads more like Vulgar Marxism. You're not seizing the means of production by being a consumer of a technology. And training a communist aligned LLM is a dubious value proposition.

It's not an either or situation, there is plenty of blame to go around. But I believe that the people with the most power are the most responsible. I know that runs counter to American corporate culture and can be a cultural shock to hear.

So I guess you'd say we should change nothing and ignore the wildly eroding support and the poll numbers showing the democratic party has just 28% favorability?

My brother in Christ, you're not talking to a liberal here.

Listen to yourself. You're saying the Democrats are our only hope yet they also don't listen.

Democrats do listen, but only to those with power. Before anything can change for the better we need power for ourselves.

Obamacare was always a rhetorical device to prove how unserious the GOP is at governing.

I think in order to be a good psychiatrist you need to understand what your patient is "babbling" about. But you also need to be able to challenge their understanding and conclusions about the world so they engage with the problem in a healthy manner. Like if the guy is worried how AI is making the internet and world more dead then maybe don't go to the AI to be understood.

Decoupling the market was them admitting their stuff is not as popular to the global market

So even Canada has lower labor costs because of universal healthcare.
