Whether we like it or not, AI is and will be a significant part of the economic infrastructure. The public must own AI like we should own roads, rail, and other strategic infrastructure that we use for our economic activity.
Of course nationalizing is the right course of action. Seeing so called communists arguing against seizing the means of production is mind boggling.
Communists recognize that nationalization by a capitalist state is not a furthering of the aims of socialism, but instead is largely done to entrench and manage capitalism. This is why the working classes need to smash and replace the state with a working class state. When you analyze with a class outlook, it becomes easier to see why this isn’t necessarily a progressive move and why communists aren’t fans of it.
Exactly. One would think that .ml will like the idea of owning at least 50% of AI companies. It’s funny that none on the left haven’t applied, let alone evolve, Marxist ideas to try to own AI. If workplaces should be owned by workers because labour is what fuels workplace, then if knowledge from everyone is what drives AI, it is only logical that the people should also own AI.
In a socialist society, sure, absolutely. In a capitalist one, no. Nationalization does not exist outside the context of the broader state and economy. You can see an example of how socialist countries handle AI very differently with China, where it is more of a utility for public gain than private profits.
Gotcha, if capitalist countries already spy on their own citizens through technology and AI, then I am certain China won’t be doing the same since they are on the opposite political spectrum.
Nobody said the Chinese state doesn’t use surveillance, the primary difference is that China is socialist, and the working classes control the state. Nationalization in a capitalist context is under a bourgeois state, nationalization in a socialist context is under a proletarian state. These aren’t vauge “sides,” but concrete class distinctions.
What class do you believe is in control of the state in China? Surveillance is used to cement proletarian control and root out infiltration and capitalist organizing. It’s why China executes many billionaires, and is one of the only countries in the world where the number of billionaires is decreasing year over year despite increasing per capita wealth year over year. Sarcasm isn’t a point.
Oh okay, sounds like everyone there is paranoid that their loved ones are secretly capitalists. Must have explained why from 285 billionaires in 2019, an additional 800 or so more billionaires have sprung up in China just last year. Did they eat the rich after finding out their neighbours and loved ones are capitalists, and then shat them out to produce 800 more billionaires? It sounds counterintuitive for a worker owned, socialist StAtE.
Interesting data, seems it isn’t consistent, while what is consistent is the rise in the amount of wealth owned by the working classes in proportion to capitalists. Even more interesting is the rate of billionaires, where China ranks very low. China still has billionaires because it still has private property, and it still has private property because the secondary and less developed industry is largely private while the commanding heights of the economy are overwhelmingly publicly owned and driven. This isn’t counterintuitive at all, as markets do their thing and centralize, they are gradually folded more into the public sector.
Again, what class do you think controls the state? What do you think socialism even is?
People wont own AI, the USA goverment will. Do you people even bother to read the bill politicians propose or do you all close you eyes and hope for the best???
Are you telling me that the US government outsourcing surveillance and insider trading with tech oligarchs, isn’t already?
Presumably, the bill will mean reining the potential harm of AI. Also, this means the American people will get direct dividends. A first step towards universal basic income. It’s not different to Alaskans getting dividends from oil revenues in their state.
Why would the bourgeois dictatorship owning more of AI help the working classes? The state is not outside class struggle, it’s a product of it and serves a definite class.
Deepseek is Marxist AI - cheap, open source, and easily available. The lumbering U$ tech giants are trying to put off their collapse as long as they can. They will fail. Amerikkka will burn.

seizing the means of production = giving the bourgeois state 50% ownership
Yea ok

Ah yes, I’m sure the Chinese working class who totally own the state love to use AI and technology to spy on themselves.

Have you considered ever bothering to actually learn what the people you oppose believe
The ml has a reputation of not being tolerant.
Good

Ironic.
How so?
