Will the AI save us all?

They are trolling you and your failed theory in the face and all you do is write words words words all day long

Why are you like this?

There was economic bubbles when railways and the internet were first introduced but it didnt stop these technologies from being implemented.

"AI will save us" is the same religious impulse that gave you the rapture of the nerds, singularity posting, and every other technofix that lets you avoid the actual problem: who owns the thing. A language model trained by a company answerable to venture capital and running on GPUs owned by Amazon and Microsoft is not a neutral force floating above class society. It's a productive force, and like every productive force under capitalism, the question isn't "is it powerful," it's "who controls the surplus it generates and who gets thrown out of work by it." Marx wrote about this with the steam engine and the power loom in the 1860s and none of the logic has changed just because the machine is quieter now.

>words words words Yeah, that's the job. You don't build class consciousness or a cadre or a program by vibing. Every successful revolutionary movement in history (the Bolsheviks, the Chinese CP, the Vietnamese) did enormous amounts of unglamorous political education and organizational work before anything looked like a insurrection. If "they're trolling you and all you do is type" bothers you, the fix isn't to stop explaining things, it's to actually organize something in physical space so the theory has somewhere to land.

>Will the AI save us all?
it wont even save the VCs that have deposited trillions of dollars into it, but it's also forcing silicon valley into baring material relationships between workers and bougies in order to sell a compelling product to each other, to the point where people associate AI with class warfare in an instinctual level, so who knows.

i agree with your main point but none of those were particularly effective revolutionary movements when the full historical record is taken into account and i would argue that political education and organizational work are not the primary driving force of revolutionary action, the real secret sauce is something even more unglamorous than that, which simply solitude and quiet contemplation. reading books is helpful for learning things that people already know and have already done before, but a truly effective revolutionary movement requires revolutionary ideas, ideas that no one has ever thought or said out loud or written in any book before, and the only way to achieve that is to do what all the most revolutionary thinkers in the world have done since ancient times which is to isolate yourself from society and all of its noise and distractions and be completely alone with nothing but your own thoughts for an extended period of time. long enough to where you get so fucking bored that something finally snaps in your brain and you become deeply attuned to everything as your brain responds to the starvation of stimuli by becoming more sensitive and noticing and thinking about things that it would normally take for granted and not being constantly cajoled by outside influence, and in that state of mind you can come up with some truly unique and novel ideas. of course, if you're a working class adult it's a lot harder to do this in the modern era than it was in the past with so many distractions and obligations in our high-tech industrial society that is designed in just such a way that dropping out of society has disastrous consequences and often results in permanent exile, so there's not a whole lot of genuine revolutionaries in the world these days.

Japan Will Perish in Flames of Neo-Militarism: KCNA Commentary
Pyongyang, August 24 (KCNA) – Dignitaries again flocked to the Yasukuni Shrine on the day of Japan's defeat.

High-ranking politicians of Japan, buoyed up by the wild ambition for continental aggression, frequent there on different occasions every year. It is the fact well known to the world already that what they seek is just to secure a spiritual pillar for proactively supporting their militaristic policy.

But this time the gravity of the issue is further highlighted by the group visit assuming so unusual colours.

Prime Minister Takaichi, who had made an offering to the shrine on August 15, made a bow toward the shrine, on her way to the national mourning ceremony for the war dead. She was not far from the shrine at that time.

It is something rare to be seen that the incumbent prime minister made a bow toward the shrine on the day of defeat.

As foreign media commented it as "remote tribute" and "a quarter of a step forward to pay visiting tribute," it is not difficult to see Takaichi's militaristic ambition that has gone to extremes.

Since its emergence, the Takaichi regime has pursued such extremely dangerous military policy, never to be seen in the preceding regimes, as deployment of preemptive attack weapons indispensable for launching reinvasion, modification of the "Three Principles on Transfer of Defence Equipment and Technology" and its guidelines and attempted revision of the "Three Non-Nuclear Principles" for arming itself with nuclear weapons.

This month in the DPRK



 

Here in NH, a pro-Palestine DSA candidate, Heath Howard, who is also a disabled comrade, was hounded out of the primary race by progressive influencers for "transphobia". He openly said Israel has no right to exist as a state on WMUR, our local state news channel. Could it be any more obvious this was a coordinated smear campaign?

Sri Lankan government bans railway workers from using social media
The circular came immediately after comments posted by Kasun Chamara, the Secretary of the Railway Station Masters’ Union (RSMU), on its Facebook page, about long-standing problems, particularly the many technical failures on locomotives this year. The railway administration responded to Chamara’s comments by asking for an “explanation.”

QCPD apologizes for sharing post red-tagging community pantries
The Quezon City Police District doubled down on making amends Tuesday, April 20, after it sustained a terrible lashing on social media for red-tagging community pantries.

CPI(M) protests over exclusion of Kalaburagi from drought-hit list
According to CPI(M) members, Kalaburagi district has recorded a 54% rainfall deficit. The district recorded 36% less rainfall than normal in June and 84% less rainfall in July. The prolonged dry spell has caused distress among farmers and led to sowing on less than 30% of the targeted area, the party said. The activists questioned the government’s decision not to declare any taluk in the district drought-hit despite these indicators.

Judge deals blow to Trump moves to deport pro-Palestinian activists
U.S. District Judge Noel Wise in San Jose, California in a blistering ruling, chastised the U.S. State Department and U.S. Department of Homeland Security for how they had deployed provisions of federal immigration law to target non-citizens for deportation for expressing views they wanted to suppress. The judge, an ​appointee of Democratic President Joe Biden, said that in the United States, free speech, including the freedom to criticize the ​government and its leaders, was evidence of the strength of the country's democracy.

US revises statements suggesting Chinese hackers attacked agencies
In a newly edited statement on Friday, the US Department of Justice said that the Senate, the Federal Reserve, NASA and other agencies were “among the targets of QTFY”, a Chinese state-sponsored hacking group. A previous version of the statement said the government agencies had been among the hackers’ victims.

Trump’s DHS is using an obscure law to secretly snoop on journalists, non-profits and unions
In February of this year, federal prosecutors twice sought search warrants for account information for the YouTube channel of Fort and the journalist Don Lemon, both of whom have pleaded not guilty to criminal charges in connection to a protest at a Minneapolis church in January that they were covering. A judge twice rejected the request, writing that the government had failed to establish probable cause of a crime and that he wanted Lemon and Fort to be informed of the request so they could have a chance to challenge it.

Who Attended Jake Lang’s N-Word March in Minneapolis?
Minneapolis, MN — On Saturday, Aug. 22, Minneapolis residents met white supremacist provocateur and violent J6 terrorist Edward Jacob “Jake” Lang with fierce resistance outside of Minneapolis City Hall once again. For his second hate rally in Minneapolis, Lang planned this one as the "uyghur March” in protest of Shiloh Hendrix being found guilty of disorderly conduct after calling an 8-year-old the racial slur at a playground in Rochester, Minnesota. Instead of arriving unprepared and leaving with a gaping wound in the back of his skull, Lang showed up in the back of a truck with a private security escort following closely behind in an SUV, driving down the sidewalk of City Hall while he and his masked guards doused counter protesters in a generous amount of pepper spray. Minneapolis Police provided additional support to Lang by guarding his truck and punching and pushing counter protesters, arresting a handful, including the person dressed as Spider-Man who had jumped onto the truck and punched Lang. As quickly as they arrived, they left. Halfway through the six-minute performance, Lang snuck away into the passenger seat of the cab, leaving those that remained in the back in something resembling a group fetal position, shielding themselves from debris while dozens of police officers cleared the way for the vehicles to leave. Hours later, the Minneapolis Police Department announced that officers intercepted both vehicles, impounding them and arresting all of the occupants, charging them with probable cause riot and processing them throughout the afternoon at the Hennepin County Jail.

Rezgar Akrawi: Rojava’s Promise and the Dissolution of the SDF: Time for the Left to Rethink the Kurdish Question?
From this it follows that criticising the SDF is not criticism of the rights of the Kurdish people. Criticising the ruling parties in the Kurdistan Region is not criticism of the Kurdish cause. Rejecting the nation-state is not a rejection of national identity and national rights.

In 1948 Israeli soldiers outnumbered Arabs 4-1 with Arabs being bunch of British controlled puppet states and Arabs still made great strides before their rulers pulled back their leash. In 1973 Egypt and Syria steamrolled Israel before burgers sent them their cutting edge arsenal out of fear of nukes going off.

If it hadn't been a charade and Iran had kept firing missiles during the 12-day-war or, before the current ceasefire they could have razed Tel Aviv.

They could have filled their later missiles with clusters of bomblets instead of MIRVs or filled the old stock they sent to deplete interceptors with with same and made a bloodbath of any city. And no Jewish toughness, no amount of ruthlessness, nor any depth of bunker would have saved the inhabitants in either case.

The whole of the middle east oil industry isn't in flames for reasons other than "toughness", and if any of the parties were to press the red button as it were, no traits of character would stop the missiles either I think.

>This was stated by the Minister of Agrarian Policy of Ukraine Taras Vysotsky during a conversation with journalists, Ukrinform reports.

There will be shift logistics, as they say, with wheels, other options for operational supply. That is, there will be no threat of hunger and a systemic physical shortage of food, “ Vysotsky assured.

>For revolutionaries it is psychologically quite difficult, if not impossible, to raise their voices against the futile application of “revolutionary justice” by terroristic groups and individuals. Even Marx, who despised all forms nihilistic actions, could not help being elated by the terroristic feats of the Russian “Peoples’ Will” As a matter of fact, the counter-terror of revolutionary groups cannot be prevented by mere recognition of its futility. Their perpetrators are not moved by the conviction that their actions will lead directly to social change, but by their inability to accept the unchallenged, the perpetual terror of the bourgeoisie unchallenged. And once engaged in illegal terror, the legal terror forces them to continue their activities until the bitter end. This type of people is itself product of the class-ridden society and a response to its increasing brutalization. There is no sense in forming a consensus with the bourgeoisie and condemning their activities from proletarian point of view. It is enough to recognize their futility and to look for more effective ways to overcome the ever-present capitalist terror by the class actions of the proletariat.

He joined the Spartacus League and later the Communist Workers' Party of Germany (KAPD), participating in radical actions during the turbulent Weimar Republic.

You should read the whole interview anon. Mattick basically describes neoliberalism (to be honest it also works for neoliberalism's crisis today) from basic Marxist first principles, which can be clarifying given how many media pseuds and pundits are talking about it today.

All societal systems that have existed since humans became sedentary roughly 10,000 years ago are fascist. Before that, for nearly 95 percent of our species’ 300,000-year history, humanity lived in hunter-gatherer or forager societies. These communities had no permanent hierarchies, no inherited positions of power, no state institutions and no ruling class at all: decisions were made through collective consensus, and people with particular experience or skill held only temporary authority rooted in mutual respect, never the power to coerce others. They were entirely classless and egalitarian, with land, tools and hunting grounds held as common property, food distributed according to need, and no exploitation of one group’s labour by another. There was no organised state violence, no standing armies and no large-scale warfare between communities; internal conflicts were resolved through mediation rather than repression. Gender relations were broadly equitable too, as women’s foraging work supplied 60 to 80 percent of most groups’ food supply, earning them equal social standing. Groups were small and flexible, usually made up of 20 to 50 related people. This form of organisation is known as primitive communism: the default way humans lived for almost all of our history, before sedentism gave rise to the fascist systems that have defined every society ever since.

what about a crazy guy in a lunatic asylum who genuinely believes he is ᴉuᴉlossnW and he gives passionate speeches in italian and he is even allowed to dress in a ᴉuᴉlossnW costume because it's the only way the staff can keep him from tearing his clothes off and running around in the nude screaming and breaking things and he is constantly getting in trouble for bossing around the other patients and cheating at the board games and refusing to share the crayons during arts and crafts time, is he a fascist?
