Marxism in the Age of AI
(cosmonautmag.com)
Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

The magazine published a reader's response to this piece, that (seems to me, a total amateur) dismantles its economic claims with basic Marx. But they don't go into the "interminable detours" about the weird stuff.
I mean, who can blame him? Like obviously obsoleting the concept of human labor would collapse capitalism and ideally lead to hunting the atlmans and the musks of the world for sport, but our current batch of robber barons certainly seem convinced that a strictly line-go-up stable capitalist situation is possible, so it's kind of an honest mistake.
Also calling people who get marxism wrong 'reactionaries' will never not rub me the wrong way.
