Yeah.

Not gonna lie, it was a terrible idea from him.

The first thing the AI Bros want, and the absolute last thing I want, is for my country and social security to get entangled in a pyramid scheme.

I’m all for collaborative AI effort (like China) or some national funding to train open models as a utility (like Europe is trying but kind of struggling to get together). I’d be alright funding “infrastructure” companies like Huggingface or Cerebras, or maybe AMD/Intel with very very specific conditions. But Bernie’s proposal is basically the worst of everything.

NonCompete just had a vid on this subject recently. That it's a continuation of the flawed concept of universal basic capital like how the capitalists stole our pension funds and gave us 401k to chain us to the markets.

All for nationalizing the tech companies but don't pay the billionaires to do it.

I have my concerns about Bernie being pro Isreal too. 😞

I definitely want to stop the genocide at any cost. In case that wasn't clear.

Am I missing something comrade? Or just a misunderstanding?

[–] AlHouthi4President@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Good! You still have a heart! 💫

The tech companies are basically weapons companies. Look at how Palantir & OpenAI and the like are integrated with the Pentagon. Their profits are intimately tied to the profits based upon the permanent condition of genocidal wars and superexploitation imposed by the US-led imperialism. Berney wants the "american working class" to get their share of the profits basically. Seems tantamount to a national socialism.

I want the tech monopolies and the US-empire to cease to exist. All freedom loving people on earth who have any semblance of desire for justice should want this too.

Does this make sense?

[–] StinkySocialist@lemmy.ml 1 points 40 minutes ago

Totally makes sense comrade.

I can see why his plan is natsoc. Thanks for explaining.

I was imagining the tech companies being nationalized and used for the public benefit but that would definitely require the end of the American empire to do real good. Getting ahead of myself I guess. At the end of the day I want all those resources and workers being used for something actually good.

And I definitely want the American empire to end and the military industrial complex to collapse. 🛠️✊

I'd really appreciate it if Bernie and co would go whole hog. 50% is a half measure, whereas proposing full nationalization would be more respected on a world stage and probably in congress.

Whether we like it or not, AI is and will be a significant part of the economic infrastructure. The public must own AI like we should own roads, rail, and other strategic infrastructure that we use for our economic activity.

Of course nationalizing is the right course of action. Seeing so called communists arguing against seizing the means of production is mind boggling.

[–] Salamence@mander.xyz 2 points 1 hour ago

seizing the means of production = giving the bourgeois state 50% ownership

Yea ok

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world -1 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Exactly. One would think that .ml will like the idea of owning at least 50% of AI companies. It's funny that none on the left haven't applied, let alone evolve, Marxist ideas to try to own AI. If workplaces should be owned by workers because labour is what fuels workplace, then if knowledge from everyone is what drives AI, it is only logical that the people should also own AI.

[–] Salamence@mander.xyz 1 points 40 minutes ago

People wont own AI, the USA goverment will. Do you people even bother to read the bill politicians propose or do you all close you eyes and hope for the best???

[–] rentasintorn@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

Deepseek is Marxist AI - cheap, open source, and easily available. The lumbering U$ tech giants are trying to put off their collapse as long as they can. They will fail. Amerikkka will burn.

This is a bailout with extra steps and bag holders.

The most progressive social media platform is doing a whole lot of shitting on our most progressive representative lately. I'm sure it's all totally organic.

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@anarchist.nexus 25 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

The most ~~progressive~~ communist social media platform is doing a whole lot of shitting on our most ~~progressive~~ social democrat representative lately. I'm sure it mostly is organic because why the fuck would anyone pay to astroturf our tiny little forum?

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Care to explain what you mean by that?

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Some northeastern rep/candidate on the democratic side has a totenkopf skull tattoo on his chest. That's your keyword because I can't remember the rest

America has maggots growing out of its dead decomposing flesh. There's nothing left here.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Flesh eating screw worms are the new maggots or so I hear

Doubt it will happen but if it did they will blame the inevitable bubble pop and depression on socialism.

[–] stephen@lazysoci.al 12 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I’d like the American public to own the percentage of ownership stake as the portion of public monies that went into the development of drugs owned by for-profit companies.

[–] triplenadir@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 10 hours ago

Sure, but imo if that is the starting demand then it will likely be compromised down to nothing. Maybe if the starting point is "full nationalization with no compensation to shareholders / owners" then the capitalists could be forced to hand over a part.

But in the US I don't see how this could ever happen with publicly-traded companies short of a revolution - there's too much mercenary solidarity from the working class and the petitite bourgeoisie to the capitalists, with anyone with a pension, any cash savings, or some entire sectors bribed out of their own class interest with crumbs from the stock market.
