    I love that the only AI goal the oligarchy can focus on is making sure we can all use it to work more.

      If you can be in three meetings at once with AI then every single one of those meetings could have been an email

      Or a group chat

        There’s meetings other people need to have and I just need to know broadly what was said. Transcription and summerizing would be great for that

        That is, if I could trust its accuracy. Which I don’t.

          So a followup email with meeting minutes written by someone actually there…

            The skills of both writing useful minutes and prioritizing actually sending them out are frustratingly rare. An average meeting with five or six people has even odds of not including someone with both of those skills. I can see where reliably having a mediocre AI summary might be an advantage over sometimes having superb human-written minutes and sometimes having nothing.

        that’s pretty much where we are now

        shit minimum wage, corporations owning housing, and monopolies in pretty much every market. it’s just slavery with the illusion of freedom because you can choose which shitty apartment building to live in for over half your income, and which franchise stores you shop at, while your essentials are getting price gouged and constantly worse quality for higher cost, yet the workers don’t make more

        that’s just slavery with extra steps

          Too true. The real steal of the century is convincing the commons that their lack of success is a personal failing rather than a system designed to keep then down

        There are bad things in communism - a reductionist model advertised as fitting for everything (a bit similar to Unix, that), and there are good things in communism - attention to balance of power. Revolutionary ideologies generally have advice for situations warranting a revolution more fleshed out.

            Just saying, ending comments with “…” doesn’t make them look smarter.

            Which specifically, accepted by most communists, should I read? Will that something allow a model different than that of classes and formations and dialectic materialism? If not, then it is reductionist.

          I mean, I would describe myself as more of an anarchist: I don’t trust the state or capitalism. When I said “Call me a Paranoid Communist” I was referring to the fact that capitalism is gonna fuck us.

            OK, then - no, not capitalism. Expectation of truth will fuck us. All the stabilizers of the humanity were built reliant on that - if it looks like a duck and so on. It doesn’t work anymore. Can’t blame something on capitalism if with other things equal the change affects capitalist and socialist systems similarly.

            Also a new world war seemed like something slowly rolling, with tanks and cargo ships and propaganda speeches.

            What people don’t understand is the sheer scale and precision of operations available today. You can prepare for 50 years something that will take 30 seconds, and then we will all have a different world.

            I think honestly the Internet is just that - a very slow trap for the rest of the world, being sprung by some parties associated with US military/deep-state/whatever first, and then being continued by Silicon Valley powers that be, only with their own dreams for it.
