At this point, there is no justification for privatized control of the means of production.

Especially for AI.

When the purpose of a technology is to remove the ability to work from as many people as possible, there is no valid reason for that technology to in any way benefit individuals without first benefitting those whose jobs it destroys.

The wealthy are literally job destroyers. That is what they actually are.
