The root problem is capitalism though, if it wasn't AI it would be some other idiotic scheme like cryptocurrency that would be wasting energy instead. The problem is with the system as opposed to technology.

Right, but the technology has the system’s philosophy baked into it. All inventions encourage a certain way of seeing the world. It’s not a coincidence that agriculture yields land ownership, mass production yields wage labor, or in this case fuzzy plagiarism machines yield a transhuman death cult.

Sure, technology is a product of the culture and it in turn influences how the culture develops, there's a dialectical relationship there.

So why take the heat off of AI, as if profiting from mass plagiarism is different when it has an API instead of flesh and bone?

Because as I explained in my original comment, if it's not AI it's going to be some other bullshit.
