It appears some artisans who consider themselves marxist want to claim exception for themselves: that the mechanisation and automation of production by capital, through the development of technology, in attempt to push back against the falling rate of profit can apply to everyone else but not them - when it happens to them then apparently the technology itself is the problem.
That's exactly what all the AI hate is about.
When I checked this thread, I felt that I was having a peek to 19th century England where Luddism was taking hold against the new tech at that time. Interesting how they deflect blame from the capitalists into the technology.
Honestly, I wasn't expecting that.
It's kind of bizarre seeing this happening on a Marxist forum to be honest.
