The most powerful tool of scientific and technolog

 The most powerful tool of scientific and technological progress...

Mikhail Delyagin:

"AI has enormous potential: it could free us from routine, shorten the working day, help solve the most complex problems for the benefit of all.

But what I saw in our capitalist society is the use of the latest technologies for something else: for cynical cost reduction (that is, people!), for intensification of the labor of those who remain, for increasing profits and control of the owners over everyone!

It turns out that the most powerful tool of progress is directed not at the common (!) good, but at strengthening the positions of those who own capital!

This will inevitably lead to increased inequality: someone will lose their job, someone will work themselves to death under the watchful eye of algorithms, and only a few, the owners of private property, will benefit!

It seems to me important for everyone to understand this rotten dynamic.

Technologies in themselves are neither good nor bad, but how they are used in the current economic system can have very serious consequences for most of  us, mere mortals.

And the realization of this by each of us is the first step to thinking about alternative, fair paths of development, where technologies serve people, and not just the interests of insatiable private corporations!

AI will not replace all people completely, but will take away jobs in pieces, systems will be rebuilt for its operators and millions of people will be left out of work, while the rest will fall into conditions of super-exploitation.

For now, I believe that this will be the bifurcation point that will tear apart the class society of the rich and the poor.

But before this point, we will find ourselves in a world of absolute inequality.

A dark time lies ahead, but the light has already begun to dawn.

Corporations should be transferred under the control of society, and this is the only salvation of this still bourgeois rotten world from self-destruction!

 Mikhail Delyagin's words are correct, they immediately reveal the essence of a society of big money and profit at any cost, but in order to change this world, oh, how we will have to fight... I don't even know what enormous sacrifices the peoples of the world will have to make on the altar of victory for justice and truth, but there is no other way!
