The argument that workers should capture AI instead of the ruling class is interesting, but let me ask you.

Has there been a single technology entirely captured and for the workers in history, ever? Has not every piece of technology been used primarily by the working class, yes, but the direction it develops and what value it produces is decided by the ruling class? Always has been unless we can remove them from controlling the mode of production..

I think China is an interesting example of this, where the worker's party controls the majority of the economy and wouldn't let a program like DeepSeek threaten to unemploy half of it's economy (America does probably have a larger segment dedicated to programming, though, silicon valley and all). Even then, the average worker there has more safety nets.

If people can build it, it can serve the people. Think of open-weights LLMs. If we got a couple of 32B models that score as high as GPT-4o and Claude-3.5, why not use them? It can be run on mid-high end hardware. There are developers out there doing a good job. It doesn't need to be a datacenter/big tech company centered scenario.

There are many technologies that serve the people that regardless are captured and extracted value mainly by the ruling class of our mode of production. Extracting value from it ourselves and our own projects doesn't mean that we own it.

My point was also that despite our efforts; corporations and the ruling class will build destructive datacenters/big tech.
