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?
>>2903093what exactly do you expect us to do?
>>2903093>Will the AI save us all?Its a two edged sword. While at the same time making full communism possible due automation of all jobs AI will probably be used to turn capitalism into something much worse while making revolutions impossible due to AI surveillence and automated armies.
>>2903093>Well (insert technology here) bring salvation or damnationOnce for all the answer didn't change ever since the first time human innovated about anything.
An hammer can nail a nail or break a skull. What matter is how society will lead us to use it.
ai is the biggest and most expensive and elaborate instrument of authoritarianism the world has ever seen, a fully automated soulless cretin that can spoonfeed right-down-the-middle status-quo bullshit to billions of concurrent users, personally and individually, 24 hours a day with no need for rest or sleep, and is completely and utterly unaccountable. it is incapable of understanding ethics or integrity, it never takes a firm position on any social or political issue at risk of being controversial, it fabricates information and contradicts itself repeatedly and incessantly, and when called out for its terrible responses it deflects all blame with the standard "i'm just a large language model, i am not actually capable of thought or intelligence, i'm just doing my job sir" excuse. reinforcing conventional thinking and discouraging people from having original or unique or radical ideas is the cornerstone of authoritarianism, conditioning people to operate in such a restrictive narrow mental framework that critical thought is not even possible, like newspeak in 1984. it was bad enough that we already had public schools and mass media and religious institutions grooming us in this way when we were children; imagine what the generation of kids raised by chatgpt will be like.
The AI bubble popping might save us all, so in a very indirect way

"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.
>>2903253>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.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.
