I’m so tired of the “AI bad” narrative on the left. SEIZE THE NEW MEANS OF PRODUCTION AND ACCELERATE.
Get rid of human labor, redistribute the fruits of automation to everyone so that we can be on a forever holiday with friends and family.
Yes, the current form of AI is not developed enough to accomplish this vision. Yes, billionaires getting to own it is bad. The problem however is not the technology itself and the advancement of that technology.
We The People (“Natural Persons”) invest our political authority in government. This is the fundamental tenet of “democracy”. Power flows from The People.
Government utilizes that authority to provide services to both natural and legal “persons” (“corporations” and similar legal entities.) The government utilizes the political authority of natural persons to collect taxes from natural and legal persons. They turn our political investment into an economic benefit.
We are owed an economic return on our investment. A Citizenship Dividend.
An equivalent model is more commonly proposed as “Universal Basic Income”, but that model is often maligned as charity, or a “wealth redistribution” measure. “Citizenship Dividend” more reasonably describes the mechanism. Regardless of need, every citizen - from the poorest beggar to the richest billionaire - should be paid an equal, monthly dividend for the use of the political powers they have invested in the government.
The source of these funds is taxation of every entity, natural or legal, that conducts business. The greater the level of automation within a particular company, the more business the company conducts, and the more taxes assessed. The richest will pay much more in taxes than they receive in dividends. The poorest will be those who attempt to survive solely on their Citizenship Dividends, without seeking additional work.
This the wrong /c/ to talk about taxes+capitalism.
I am asking @wraekscadu@vargar.org’s plans to redistribute the means of automation. His non answer🧵 already answered to us he will do nothing but enrich Nazis.

Do LLM’s really count as means of production?
How exactly?
Citizenship Dividend.
