Views on AI have nothing to do with left or right. It's actually split right down the middle on both sides.
But the left wouldn't be the left if we weren't fucking fighting each other all the time instead of the right.
Idk... Anarchism and ML have history lol
Lmao in one sentence you perfectly exposed why anarchists hate MLs. Aside from all the historical bs, anarchists are just expected to go along with ML because it's "better than capitalism", but you'll never see any ML giving any ground to anarchists.
Ironically that makes you quite similar to liberals, who always want the left to support them but never give any ground :)
Personally, I can fight more than one thing at a time. But since you don't think that's possible, why are you more focused on fighting anarchists in your comment than capitalism? Is this projection? Are you a liberal? 🤔
Yes and no. AI (the ideal) is labor replacement, similar to the first industrial machines. But instead of manual labor, it is replacing cognitive labor. Under capitalism, when profit is always the end game, labor saving tech will not be used to liberate, but to further exploit the people and rape our planet. This is no different, I think. Usually this kind of capital is held mostly in the hands of one class of people, but this tech is unique in that it has the ability to, once trained, be copied and iterated on by others. Open source, or eventually hacked. Software yearns to be free, in the sense that it can be copied easily. Point is, control over the development and distribution of AI is so difficult that even the "common sense" right* end up feeling betrayed. It mainly benefits the far right and the oligarchic class.
For now, it is not the ideal. But the intentions of the most powerful people seem to continue to race towards unregulated, privately controlled AI. They talk of slowing down, but I don't have my hopes up after everything that's happened.
