Blows my mind that hard-left people would resist AI since it both allows far more opportunity for direct control of means of production (as it is a time/scale equalizer) and also is the best path toward UBI.

UBI sounds silly to some, but that changes when there's a hundred million people out of work. Especially since AI will carve out from the middle, not from the bottom. That's a LOT of reliably-voting spending power eroding.

I can understand that people don't trust corps or their governments to enact UBI or use AI responsibly. They have every reason to believe that given the state of consumer protection laws, privacy laws, and the cost of things that people need like healthcare, food, and housing.
