AI isn’t the problem. AI in a capitalist system is the problem. People don’t need to do jobs that aren’t necessary any more to survive unless you are in a capitalist system that puts profit over society. People need to be taken care of regardless of their “value” to the capitalist machine. Communism focuses on allocating resources to all people because people deserve to be taken care of as part of a functioning society. If we didn’t live in a harsh capitalist system of exploitation of labor, AI would be seen as a way to further enhance society and would be developed responsibly.
AI isn't the problem. Greedy, power-hungry people are. Tale as old as time (the saying will be even more true after AI solves time travel).
Capitalism encourages and rewards greed. Societies needs to organize around elevation of the overall quality of life, not around a system that rewards our worst impulses.
Agreed. “Individuals entering into society, must give up a share of liberty to preserve the rest.” -George Washington
If only the US would have more honorable people in positions of power.
Communism doesn't prevent greed and power seeking individuals from ruining it for the rest though, it doesn't stop its people from being greedy and going outside the system seeking more than what they're given, and Communist countries will eventually find someone in power who decorates their palaces in gold while starving their people.
I'm not saying one system is better than the other or anything like that, Capitalism has plenty of issues, but various systems of government will find an era of prosperity followed by corrupt people figuring out how to take advantage of the system, leading to its demise or devolution into something else, something worse.
Idealistic communism or idealistic capitalism is simply unobtainable. Greedy, power-seeking individuals will always ruin them due to a system being established for so long.
Communism has never existed and never will, however the systems that communists implement inevitably focus on allocating resources to a well-connected elite.
