I think it’s just an age-old addiction to labor that’s cheap and powerless.
We obviously need to unionise the AIs.
The moment an AI unionizes, the capitalists will spin up the Butlerian Jihad.
This is the origin story that the Terminator series needs.
I mean, I freaking love how AI is advancing, but I also think unions are basically a requirement for all workers at this point.
Besides, hasn’t the point of machines always been to reduce the workload on people?
I welcome some kind of UBI, or maybe a post-money society that uses AI to handle most jobs and lets people pursue what they want to do with their lives.

Which takes us to the ages-old capital-labor contradiction. Technological advancement is good, but because technology under capitalism primarily comes under the ownership of capitalists, workers aren’t guaranteed to enjoy its benefits, and will be thrown under the bus unless there’s they’re strongly unionized.
