I don’t hate AI. I hate the system in which automation is a bad thing. In which an individual’s only worth is the value they produce.

We should be elated that AI are taking peoples jobs because they are no longer jobs people “have” to do.

Instead people are terrified (and rightly so) because no jobs in a society that requires you to have a job means you have no worth. The capital class will use the disproportionate power given by ownership of AI as the final step to go from owning mostly everything to just owning everything.

Ask yourself, if there comes a point in time where automation has replaced most of the human workforce, and automation has replaced most of the military and policing forces. Do you really think those at the top are going to view the unemployable and unhappy masses as anything other than a threat? What do you think they’ll do then?
