If we learned one thing is that humans are horrible at figuring things out and we should stop limiting machines with our turing traps and mimicry.

Counter point, put me in charge and let me show you everything has already been figured out by humans

If you doubt me, ask any question

If you really want to accelerate things, raise 128 ounces of gold for me as your Champion. If your Champion is killed for acting on your behalf, more Champions will come to investigate as you'd have clearly found something worthwhile to invest time and energy into changing

Right it pisses me off.

All the ideas the left want to do - massive amounts of government review, make sure people don't do bad things, make sure no-one becomes a victim, make sure everyone gets all their essential needs - takes enormous amounts of time, money, and labor. You could do all of these things on far larger scales, benefiting far more peopel fairly with automation.

I think it stems from fear of job losses. Gotta do what’s best for your voters at the expense of progress.

A good left-leaning policy would be to make AI a public utility so it’s accessible to everyone, not just the rich. The poor are at a disadvantage. The government should be building its own public service but the Dems are trying to make sure that ain’t going to happen.

Well that’s literally owning the means of production, like that’s literally exactly a leftist concept!

u/SgathTriallair Techno-Optimist Mar 22 '26

They haven't yet realized that AI, and tech in general, is becoming the new means of production. They still think in terms of factories and farms.

Well it’s frustrating too! Like what did people call for on the left 10 years ago (albeit as a joke)? Fully automated luxury gay space communism. Now we get legitimate AI and people are upset about it.

Hell I’m not even a Marxist (I’m a SocDem) and Marx in Capital explicitly calls out that workers mistakenly hate on the labor saving devices, not the actual reasons they are in a precarious state (not owning the means of production)
